This is tricky, especially when combined with the overall unwelcoming new vibe when it comes to student visas. On one hand, it's right to be very careful about Chinese students and professors because of China's demonstrated history as using them as spies (whether they were inserted initially as spies or whether they were convinced or extorted later). On the other hand, there's a reason that so much of the time when I'm looking for a guest to talk about some fascinating new scientific research, the brilliant scientists or engineers responsible for the development are very often Chinese and/or Indian. Those countries just do a much better job than we do at educating kids starting young to go into STEM fields.

It's absolutely critical that we not just allow, but encourage, the smartest kids and young adults from around the world to come to the US, study and learn here, and stay here rather than returning to their home country to compete against us, especially when that country is an adversary/enemy, like China.
