Message: [QUOTE="Watchdog, post: 3557554, member: 10325"] They're not "assertions", they're facts, and I don't understand why are you asking me to explain something that's been increasingly noted in major news stories over the years. 1. Search for numbers of Chinese college students in the USA. 2. Search for "Chinese students arrested" and "Chinese students spying" and you'll get page after page from all manner of sources (8 pages from one click in my search). The number of students is up over 350% in ten years (369,548 in the 2018/19 academic year, up from 98,235 in the 2008/09 academic year). That's not happenstance. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.statista.com/statistics/372900/number-of-chinese-students-that-study-in-the-us/[/URL] China understands how to take advantage of our free society and use students to conduct espionage in our leading research universities and companies, and many of those arrested for espionage have been found to be CCP members and members of their military. Others have been coerced into stealing technology or their families will face dire consequences, and they've also bribed high profile professors, several of whom have recently been arrested for espionage.

Note the sources: CNN, NBC, Newsweek, the Voice of America Network, the British publication The Daily Mail and even The Daily Beast. Not exactly right wing news outlets with a racist agenda.[/B] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/01/politics/us-intelligence-chinese-student-espionage/index.html[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.nbcnews.com/news/china/education-or-espionage-chinese-student-takes-his-homework-home-china-n893881[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.newsweek.com/china-spies-universities-fbi-watching-806796[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.voanews.com/student-union/chinese-college-students-being-forced-spy-us[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5392211/FBI-Director-Chinese-spies-infiltrating-colleges.html[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.thedailybeast.com/fbi-directors-shock-claim-chinese-students-are-a-potential-threat[/URL] The CCP knows how to work our system and take advantage of those greedy enough to work with and/or for them to enrich themselves. Pretty simple really. There you do what the government wants or you may get shipped out to the outer province where the Uighurs are imprisoned in labor camps. Here you do what you can to make as much money as you can. Our government gives grants for research into all kinds of technologies, the universities fight to get those grants because it fuels their search for the best faculty members and students, the universities need researchers and recruit lots of graduate and doctoral students (many of whom are foreign nationals because our education system doesn't produce enough talented scientists), and China sends over 350,000 students per year here to acquire the technology they need and want. That's likely how China was able to copy our F-35 stealth fighter, and make other major leaps in 5G and other technologies. "Free tech is great". Only a small number get arrested and when they do the advocacy groups say they're being targeted because of racism. [/QUOTE]
