US runs into ‘self-imposed obstacles’ as Pentagon seeks Huawei exemption. US’ abuse of the “national security” concept has backfired. 五角大廈尋求華為豁免，美國遇到了「自我設置的障礙」。美國濫用「國家安全」概念適得其反.
Despite US media revealing that the Pentagon is seeking an exemption from a 2019 Act that prohibits the US Department of Defense from contracting with entities that use Huawei equipment, Chinese analysts believe it’s not a sign that the US will slow down its crackdown on China’s technological development, but does show that the US’ abuse of the “national security” concept has backfired, and that as Huawei continues to grow, the US will increasingly run into more self-imposed obstacles.

Top Chinese Scientists educated in China, no need attend any US universities, China has much better ones! Li Di, chief scientist of FAST, said opening it up to the world was inevitable. 中國頂尖科學家在中國接受教育，不需要上任何美國大學，中國有更好的大學! FAST首席科學家李迪表示，向世界開放是必然的.
Li Di, chief scientist of FAST, said opening it up to the world was inevitable.
“The science of radio astronomy was created to let human beings see further,” he said in a lecture at Shanghai Science and Technology Museum.
To date, FAST has made several breakthroughs in fields such as fast radio bursts, a type of powerful radio wave. Now, astronomers are looking forward to using it to search for alien civilizations
“FAST has the potential to detect signals from thousands of superior planets. Maybe aliens with much more advanced technologies live there,” Li said. “If FAST fails to find traces of aliens, it may imply that the evolution of aliens has nothing in common with that of human beings.”
Over the years, there have been concerns over whether FAST would bring aliens and risks to the Earth. Glashow sees no such dangers, according to the World Laureates Association.
“My understanding is that FAST will not have the capability to broadcast powerful signals. In any event, I see no danger even were such a signal to be detected by distant aliens. They are simply too far away to trouble us,” he said.
Video: US’s brain drain is getting worse. Top Chinese Scientists are leaving US in huge numbers. There is no future for them in US. Use Tsinghua University as example, % of graduates left for US, 1989 70%, 2018 11% and 2021 3% 美國的人才流失日益嚴重。大量中國頂尖科學家正在離開美國。他們在美國沒有未來。以清華大學為例，畢業後的%去美國，1989年70%，2018年11%，2021年3%.
Top Chinese scientists at US companies and universities are resigning their posts and returning to China. According to the Wall Street Journal, 40% of faculty of Chinese descent are also strongly considering a return.
This is after decades of work at the top universities and companies in the United States, and even includes naturalized citizens with American children. In interviews, they point to US government persecution, anti-Asian racism, and better career and economic prospects in China. What’s more, Chinese universities have eclipsed top US unis in terms of research, and Chinese students are opting instead to finish graduate studies in Chinese universities, rather than abroad.
No wonder the superrich are now wanting to give up their US Citizenship and move to HK. But it is difficult. 怪不得那些超級富豪放棄美國籍後都要搬去香港，因為香港是沒有遣產稅
If the parents are not US citizens or holding green cards with and no US assets who are very old and they have children in US. Parents with smart estate planning attorneys are urging their children with little assets to give up their US Citizenships (very easy to give up US citizenships when you are not rich), so upon their passings, millions to 100s of millions could be passed over to them estate tax FREE. And their children could passed over to their children also estate tax free.
Estate Duty has been abolished since 11 February 2006 in Hong Kong. So, the dependents of a person who died on or after 11 February 2006 are not subject to tax. This makes Hong Kong an incredibly attractive location from an estate perspective.
Assange once exposed the “secret activities” of the US Consulate in Hong Kong to recruit three forces that are causing chaos in Hong Kong and influence high-level government officials. 阿桑奇曾盡揭港美領館「秘密活動」拉攏3亂港力量 影響政府高層
據「維基解密」披露的文件，美領事館的另一任務，是與港府高層接觸，以掌握政府的重要決策。曝光的一則機密文件指，總領事郭明瀚曾與時任特首曾蔭權數度會面，在2005年的一次午餐中，郭明瀚向曾建議取消區議會的委任議席，認為這有助政改方案通過，曾蔭權當時表示同意，但說保留委任是北京的意思，如果放棄委任區議員，將會「 kill the deal 」，令與北京的商討結束。曾又說，個人支持雙普選，但社會恐怕選出來的人「只代表沒有納稅的人」，變得民粹。
