Chinese Scientists Are Leaving the United States::Here’s why that spells bad news for Washington.

IP theft isn’t exactly an “innocuous misstep”, it costs us about half a trillion dollars per year. Maybe not doing that would help.
What I’m talking about is stuff like the case of Xi Xiaoxing, who was arrested and prosecuted for carrying schematics for a piece of non-secret commodity equipment.
A rare case when you hear hoof beats and find a zebra. Sucks to be that guy but I’m not going to lose sleep over it, our law enforcement and intelligence agencies are doing what they should.
It ain’t rare, but the vast majority of cases don’t get known outside the scientific community, just as there’s a much larger number of police abuse incidents against black people for each George Floyd.
Anyway, the point is that there are legit reasons Chinese American scientists feel compelled to leave, that’s all. For them, it’s not simply a matter of “if you haven’t done anything wrong you don’t have anything to worry about”.
