More like practical Chinese returning home.
The US did not triumph over the Soviet Union via freedom rhetoric alone. It did so through superior standard of living and greater variety and quality of consumer goods. When Belenko defected to the US he found super market shelves fully stocked and that even pet food (by mistake) tasted very well. How could the Soviets even convince their own citizens of the superiority of their system?
They should stay there so that they can ensure Chinese investments and influence there.
What the hell were they feeding this thing?
The Foreign policy article is just another propaganda piece by yet another American imposing it's cultural norms and practices as the universal laws that must be applied anywhere, and everywhere. The article started off with an interesting situation and problem as to why these so called "Chinese tech wiz" are choosing to return back to China despite their extreme trepidations and unease due to the supposed wickedness of the existing government structure/apparatus that made the burgeoning growth of the tech sector along with the overall growth of the Chinese economy. The author highlighted the fact that despite Chinese tech engineers enormous contributions to the companies they work for they are often passed over for higher management positions and lags their Indian as well as their European counterparts. A good journalist, and from a publication that purports to be objective would have and should have examine the reasons/causes as to why Chinese tech workers in America are not being sought, valued into the positions of higher responsibility. Instead, like a true propagandist the author simply works or writes on to his most poignant points - A.I. tech used by government and non existent privacy along with the usual China mentioning of Xinjiang and Hong Kong.
The author cleverly uses a supposed Chinese with an air of American superiority complex --thinking so highly of him or herself based on the fact that he or she has been exposed to the intoxicating beauty and allure of Democracy and Freedom -- who anyone can clearly see that the reason he returns to China was for better ¥¥ and lateral opportunities as opposed to the bamboo ceiling the person faces in the bastion of open debate and countless gender debate.
The Mike Pompeo diet.
