Assume Aaron has not seen the FBI warnings about the Chinese Communist Party placing students in our STEM programs.

The tech secrets they take back to China enhances their totalitarian military, intelligence, and surveillance tools. All funded by the American taxpayer. https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1254428558224736257">https://twitter.com/atrupar/s...

Universities are slowly but surely getting wise. Confucius Institutes in particular are being closed across the country, after the FBI Director testified concern last year.

. @joshrogin had a good column on China& #39;s infiltration of US universities in 2018 https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/global-opinions/waking-up-to-chinas-infiltration-of-american-colleges/2018/02/18/99d3bee8-13f7-11e8-9570-29c9830535e5_story.html">https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/...

I mean, I know this is @voxdotcom and everything so adjust your expectations and all that.

A weird dunk. There& #39;s been very public and bipartisan action on this on the Hill for 2-3 years now. If Vox& #39;s business is "explaining the news," you& #39;d think actual news would play a role?

Final thought as I tend to ramble. The STEM secrets and disciplines Chinese students take back with them contribute directly to the surveillance of Uighurs in concentration camps, dissidents in Hong Kong, Tibetans, etc.

You& #39;d think the left would be ok with efforts to stop that?
