that's right my fellow african american brother. Keep training more lawyersThe scientific and technological achievements are the result of the legal/juridical/institutional development.
an even more curious mind will notice that the Netherland is famous for prostitution and drugs because no one gives a shit about "corporate law" when thinking about the Netherland. They aren't even unique in that regard! Surely there is a strong connection between the EUV and sex trafficking!A curious scientific mind probably ask the question : is there a connection between the capability of Netherland to make 75 % of all semiconductor manufacturing machines in the world, and having a good corporate law that effectively govern the life of businesses from cradle to grave ?

Well that's ridiculous. I don't see why I should give a crap about anyone who is willing to sacrifice me and my family. People like me are a bridge between two sides and that's exactly what the two countries need now.
Hey hey hey, I object. Blood always trumps paper (although intent can trump blood...) and I always welcome Chinese people regardless of location or citizenship who consider themselves Chinese and always align with their blood country. Sea turtles don't always have to hold a PRC passport and often it's just easier with greater opportunities for education to convert citizenship. As long as China is in their hearts and they wish to benefit China with that education, they are Chinese brothers and sisters to me. Your line of thinking actually benefits the US in making Chinese people's loyalties so transparent and easily identified by paper. America wants to steal talent and make people innovate against their own blood and ancestry; they should deal with the uncertainty and potential failures of investing people who refuse to play into their agenda by going back home when their education is complete or when they are ready to truly achieve something.Let me tell you this, the day you took the oath to the stars and strips or your parents did so for you, you were and should treat yourself as a 100% American. At least Chinese should treat you as such.
Didn't Gadgetfool said he is Chinese American before saying he is the bridge? Was he lying or am I blind? Anyway, I don't care to know.Hey hey hey, I object.

Gadgetfool's problems are way different from those. He's not Chinese; we've already discussed and he's going to tell people he's Japanese when they ask what type of Asian he is.
I mostly agree and said that intent trumps blood. (I edited that into my thing but it was after you had already began composing so you did not see that part.) And that's why it really doesn't matter what passport or citizenship gadgetfool holds; his intent has disqualified him.Didn't Gadgetfool said he is Chinese American before saying he is the bridge?

You are right in how you treat people. You are also right that people would have some feeling towards their ancestral country.
But that feeling is idealized and not based on physical and personal interest. After all where do they earn their next meal? where do they have their children? That is where they care most, and will do everything to save even at cost of anybody else when they have to. Let's be honest and face the human nature, spirit is always built on top of material interest.
Although your treating people who consider themselves Chinese (as Chinese) is kind, but their true intention to China is not written on their face. I have seen my friends of decades to gradually switching their attitude towards China after they took their foreign passport. One day we were in the demonstration in supporting China in 2008, the other day (some years later after the switching passport) I heard "why not just let go Tibet and Taiwan?" At that moment, I knew I lost two close friends and two countrymen. P.S. we are still good buddies, I still treat them as friends hanging out for lunch and beer, but not Chinese any more (stopped talking any subject of China with them).
So I think I am treating people just like you are. My point was not about "treating people with kindness regardless of citizenship", my point was about "person act on the ground where they stand according to their interest".
I know my words sound very cold to some people and this may benefit the US. But, that is the truth, isn't it? Despite being very harsh. And I am on the net, the only place where I can say the truth without considering the awkwardness.
I will stop here now to prevent more damages.![]()

The United States strategy towards Huawei is stupid beyond stupid.
Suppose Huawei is no longer number #1 in cell phones sales. They could be either 2, 3, or 4 depending on the amount of chips they have.
Samsung would then again be number #1 in cell phones sales, a Korean company. Then the Chinese companies, if we take them together, probably account for 50% at least of cell phone sales in this world, and maybe 60% to 70% of cell phone manufacturing in this world.
Yet, the United States government will insist on this glorious victory for them (for mostly propaganda reasons).
Now the United States government is determined to degrade American semiconductor companies and undermine their future potential with hinting at restrictions to the China market.
We should note here, that there are no current restrictions, yet everyone just assumes there will be.
Kind of like a married couple who are not officially divorced but they already there.
What did the United States gain out of this?
Huawei still number #1 in 5G network equipment leading the next industrial revolution.
American semiconductor companies have their real interest in terms of profits slashed which will lower R&D which affect negatively their competitiveness. Everyone knows this. Except the Trump administration.
We do not even have to comment on the American 5G manufacturing industry because they do not even got one. Maybe a few companies in China will pick up this mantle of O-Ran and produce some low cost parts.
Bwahahahahahaha!
