Article/As early as during Trump's first term, the infamous 'China Initiative' severely persecuted academic personnel. Although it was later terminated by the Biden administration, there are now signs of a 'resurgence', making it a 'lingering poison'.
On November 24 local time, a commentary article by Bloomberg pointed out that with Trump confirming his return to the White House, concerns have been raised again that the 'China Initiative' may be restarted. The author of the article clearly stands from the perspective of the U.S. side, 'earnestly' advising that this initiative not only failed before but would 'play right into China's hands' if resumed, as it would not only undermine American innovation but also give China the upper hand in the technological competition.
The article states that the 'China Initiative' had evolved into a racial movement against Asian American scholars, with a series of false accusations overturning the lives of researchers, while the so-called 'espionage activities' were nonexistent. If Trump's goal is truly 'America First', it is necessary to recognize that America is an immigrant country that welcomes the best and brightest talents from elsewhere, which will bring great advantages to the United States.
To dissuade Trump, Bloomberg's article specifically mentioned 'the father of Chinese missiles' Qian Xuesen. In the 1950s, a wave of hysteria swept through the United States, McCarthyism ran rampant, persecuting a large number of progressive Americans, Chinese scientists, and international students, among whom the most famous is the 'Qian Xuesen Incident'. In September 1955, with the rescue of the Chinese government, Qian Xuesen and his family finally returned to their homeland after five years of hard struggle, and Qian realized his wish of 'serving the country with utmost loyalty', making outstanding contributions to China's missile and aerospace industry, as well as to the entire scientific and technological field.
'No matter where Qian Xuesen is, he is worth five divisions; I would rather execute this guy than let him return to China!' Bloomberg also quoted Dan Kimball, the 51st U.S. Secretary of the Navy, describing it as 'the most foolish thing ever done in American history.'
The 'China Initiative' was launched in November 2018, requiring 94 regional judicial departments to file at least one or two lawsuits against China each year to prevent China from 'stealing information from the United States'. The FBI also fabricated 'Chinese academic spies' under the guise of this initiative, resulting in numerous wrongful cases. On February 23, 2022, the U.S. Department of Justice announced the termination of the 'China Initiative' that was launched during the Trump administration.
The Hong Kong (South China Morning Post) points out that the 'China Initiative' has not revealed any so-called 'spies', but many researchers who have been investigated have lost their jobs and their lives have been completely turned upside down. This includes what is referred to as the 'China Initiative'#BabyMarvinf9c7值得拥🈶
