Good but 40 years late
Congress is thinking about blocking Chinese students from US universities.
Too late. All the damage has been done. China has already sucked us dry, and continues to suck. Idiot US companies continue to send factories to China with the expectation that China will simply do the work. China takes the ideas, sends US engineers packing, then takes the factory.
It's not China's fault. China is just doing what every nation does at some point in its technical development. USA did it in the 1800s, stealing ideas and knowledge from France and Britain.
It's all our fault. We've been allowing it and SUBSIDIZING IT and welcoming it for 40 years. In the early '80s the Chinese methods and intentions were perfectly clear. Chinese students were sent by the Chinese government to gather knowledge, especially trade secrets and military secrets. The students didn't bother to hide their purpose, because they knew we were working for them.
After 40 years we no longer know how to do anything. We don't train, don't learn, don't make. Our corporate masters have accomplished their omnicidal goal, and finished it off with the latest coup. Thrill killers, skill killers.
