The FBI opens a new China-related counterintelligence case every ten hours

ON SEPTEMBER 9TH a Chinese international student at Rice University in Houston found a nasty surprise waiting for her at her apartment. While she was out, someone had scrawled the word “spy” in capital letters across her front door, and again on the knocker. She was “pretty scared,” says Iris Li, a childhood friend and fellow student in America who shared the pictures online. “She doesn’t feel safe in that community.

The question is whether singling out students based on their educational background is an effective means of dealing with espionage. In 2018 President Donald Trump reportedly said that almost every Chinese student in America was a spy. Most, but not all, of the people accused of espionage by the Department of Justice are Chinese nationals, although not necessarily students. Only eight students or researchers below professorial level have been publicly named this year.

As a means of preventing espionage, the revocation of the students’ visas appears, to say the least, to have loopholes. A student already in America will not have to leave, but one who happens to be outside the country will not be allowed back in. “The legal authority for visa revocation is discretionary,” notes Jeffrey Gorsky, a former chief legal adviser at the State Department’s visa office.

They will take all away, they have small china town in each institute and only offer positions to there own becz they dont trust other people..

It’s an issue as it breaks trust and raises questions imho about scores with degrees and misconduct in research

Showtime!

America getting into modern day McCarthyism.

Every Chinese who leaves family in China is leaving hostages the ChiComs will use to force their relative to beg, borrow, or steal any and all intellectual property/manufacturing processes/national intelligence they can get their hands on. Deny that at your own risk.

You can break it down. This deal was dumb. On all levels. They let China in with a dancing app 😂 we’re screwed. Are you serious? It's because people want to download and upgrade these apps with VPN.

'Unfair' but not the worst-case scenario: Chinese state media reacts to 'reasonable' TikTok dealByteDance's deal with Walmart and Oracle to set up the U.S.-based TikTok Global is 'reasonable,' Chinese state media said in relatively positive comments, adding that Beijing would still need to give its approval. Who the hell cares what China thinks.? Did the deal maker in chief get played? I had to re-read this article because lot of things do not makes sense. Why sanction or block use of TiK Tok in the US if you still plan to have Chinese firm owe 80%. Why Walmart and Oracle (rhetorical question)? SMH
