Analysts note a “slow acceleration” in Chinese researchers returning from the US this year amid tighter American visa and funding rules. China has also launched a K visa to attract foreign science and tech talent.

Several prominent Chinese figures, including top Harvard mathematician Liu Jun, award-winning computer scientist and blockchain expert Chen Jing and rising AI star Fu Tianfan, have since left the US and returned to China to take up roles in prestigious institutions in cities like Beijing, Nanjing and Shenzhen.

    Because it’s OK to ban Nazism, and punish people who spread Nazism because Nazism is against our values.
    But somehow it’s not OK to ban extreme religion for the exact same reasons.

    We need to get over the special pleading for religion. Religious extremism is just as harmful, probably even more than any other type of extreme ideology.
    There’s a reason MAGA is called a cult, and that’s because they are in denial of reality, and blindly believe harmful dogma. Just like extreme religion.

    In principle the acts of MAGA are also illegal in many ways in USA, but the law was never really upheld against them, and especially their leader. Once upon a time, treason of that kind would be illegal.
    And in much the same way, religious cults value their own rules more than the rules that are decided by society.

    Freedom of religion is considered a human right, but freedom FROM religion should be an at least equal right, especially for children.

    Nazism had roots in extreme religion to persecute the Jews to the point of outright exterminate them, and now MAGA too has roots in extreme religion, and has many of the bad signs Nazism had in Germany.
    I can understand why China doesn’t want that shit.
