      This is most likely directly motivated by specific anti-China actions done by the USA or sinophobia experienced by the scientists or by actions taken by China to incentivise them to move home. Which I say because it means the motivating factors aren’t present among non-Chinese. The majority of talent in the USA isn’t Chinese, and the USA does have the highest expert salaries in the world to attract foreign talent.

    This is a good thing for China. As someone who worked in tech in the US I always had more Chinese and Indian coworkers than any else. I don’t know if US politicians are aware or not but let them hurt themselves.
