G'day Ron & all - it's been awhile since I visited this thread, I see things are quiet. Evidently, LA Times read my mind, if not my posts when it stated in the article
latimes.com
Specifically,
Alienating talented Chinese scientists and engineers has backfired before. After being labeled a Communist and deported in 1955 on unproven charges that he was a spy, Tsien Hsue-Shen, then director of Caltech's Jet Propulsion Center, the precursor to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, returned to China, where he became the "father of the Chinese missile program," directing development of the Dong Feng "East Wind" and Silkworm missiles.
Let's hope the jockeying of positions in American partisan politics doesn't hand a few more Tsien Hsue-Shens over to China
