'Over 1,000 Chinese researchers have left the US in addition to the 1,000 students and academics who had their visas revoked after they were deemed security risks. Since Chinese researchers are the biggest foreign contributors to US science, their departure will push American science further down the league tables.' Source 'Here Comes China'
The forced expulsion of Chinese researchers, scientists and scholars from America by the Trump Administration, known for being brainless on what is important and what is not, is a repeat of the days of McCarthyism in the 1950s. The evil and anti Chinese Americans are again repeating the same hate campaign against China and anything Chinese. The scale of this purge is unparalled in the history of the USA except during WW2 when they were persecuting the Japanese for the bombing of Pearl Harbour. Trumpism is very similar with McCarthyism, raising fear of the Chinese Peril to rid the Chinese from racist America.
The implication of this purge to the future of American science and technology is going to be more pronounce and impactful than in the 1950s. In the 1950s, America's loss was the father of America's Rocketry in Qian Xuesen, a prominent rocket scientist in Caltech and head of several depts in the Air Force and Navy. On the contrary, it was the biggest gain for China when Qian became the father of Chinese missile progamme and was credited for detonating China's atomic and hydrogen bombs and also China's Space Programme. Qian was instrumental in China's great leap in nuclear and space technology today. Without Qian's contribution, no one is sure how far behind the Americans would China be today.
A wrong and silly witch hunt by the racist hate Chinese Americans was a blessing to China then. Today's silliness would have thousands of times more impactful in favour of China than in the 1950s. Several thousands of China's best brains are forced to return to China and would be a big loss to the Americans. The 1950s American Administration was foolish enough to lose Qian despite repeated warnings not to let him return to China. But they were dull enough to think that he was worth 14 American prisoners of war in China in exchange.
Trump and his clueless gangsters did not know how much they are going to lose out with the expulsion of the Chinese scientists and researchers. Among them could be several Qian Xuesens in the making and their combined contributions to China's advancement in science and technology would be far more significant than just one Qian Xuesen that made it possible for China to catch up with the Americans in nuclear and space technology, starting virtually from nought.
China must be very thankful to the foolish Trump for repeating the same horrendous mistake of not keeping the Chinese top brains in America to contribute to America's science and technological advancement. Without Qian, The American Space Programme could not progress further and had to abandon their man mission to the moon for good. China is now going to leapfrog the Americans in putting man on the moon and setting up a moon station to exploit the resources on the planet.
And the few thousands of Chinese experts returning to China would have their works cut out for them, to overtake the Americans in the field of science and technology. Clown Trump and his circus did not know what they have done to undermine America's superiority in science and technology over China.
Well done, clowns.
