LOL, you're just now figuring this out??? They've been engaged in corporate espionage for the last 30 years!

We've become soft and porous, like a sponge. We turned our focus to inclusivity, let in folks and not properly vetting them. Are all them bad, no. Do we have any idea, only what's on paper. Now the question is how do we combat this? Do you keep 24/7 tabs on them? Do we close the borders down all together? I think one way we can combat this is we try to get more Americans involved in more studies (useful studies, not something like gender studies), and boost for occupational certifications

And now, let us tune into the comment section to see what the experts say.

[josephterrell]

It's not the students it's the professors

[jimhower]

I thought we were just worried about Russia.

[jackytang]

There are also criticise in China that 80% of students who had got supplies in his study but remaind in America and never back. It's also a big lose for China human resources, so do we need close the door?

As a Chinese I hold no loyalty to the main land, as I am a second generation Jamaican Chinese who can't even speak the language LOL

1:46 "Our greatest strength is our openness" Your going to have to qualify that statement Mr. Rosenblum. Sounds like PC BS to me. Oh, by the way how many spies does Isreal have in our University system Mr. Rosenblum?

[Praetor_Fenix]
