    A rare case when you hear hoof beats and find a zebra. Sucks to be that guy but I’m not going to lose sleep over it, our law enforcement and intelligence agencies are doing what they should.

      It ain’t rare, but the vast majority of cases don’t get known outside the scientific community, just as there’s a much larger number of police abuse incidents against black people for each George Floyd.

      Anyway, the point is that there are legit reasons Chinese American scientists feel compelled to leave, that’s all. For them, it’s not simply a matter of “if you haven’t done anything wrong you don’t have anything to worry about”.
