It’s about time. CCP espionage and IP theft has been an open secret for decades. It’s time we get serious about our national security. Just last year, a Chinese citizen here on a government visa was found spying on our navy shipyards.

Can you give any examples? Bc a lot of the conditions to do business in China is sharing IP…so if a company like Apple for example doesn’t want China to have their IP then they simply should not do business there. Does a country not have sovereignty within its borders?

My understanding is both legal and illegal IP acquisition are common from China but I don’t think shutting down students from coming here will fix that ultimately we want to attract intelligent young people.

intellectual property is stupid anyway, it never protects the people who create the work, and always protects the people who own the rights to the work

You’re dumb as fuck if you think unfair trade practices, bribing officials to funnel protected info, hacking systems, and physical theft is okay. The only people that deny China has an IP theft problem are left-wing hacks. https://foreignaffairs.house.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Egregious-Cases-of-Chinese-Theft-of-American-Intellectual-Property.pdf https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-64206950
