How the U.S. Shot itself In The Foot The 1st Time, now doing again for the 2nd time! 美國第一次搬石頭砸自己的腳,現在是第二次了!
Time was the 1950s. During the Second Red Scare, the U.S.government accused Qian Xuesen (Chinese: 钱学森), a leading expert in rockets, a full professor at MIT (1947) and at CIT(1949) and a colonel at the U.S. Dept. of Defense, of communist sympathies, without presenting any evidence. He spent 5 years under house arrest in an effort to gradually make his technical knowledge obsolete. Our government then sent him back to China in 1955. Upon his return, he helped greatly in making China a nuclear power. He was known in China as one of the fathers of “Two Bombs – one atomic & one nuclear, and one Satellite.”
Doing it to ourselves the 2nd Time!
SINOPHOBIA, which began in Trump I and fanned by the Biden Adminis-tration and Trump II, was what caused the mass exit of prominent senior scientists of Chinese origin from the U.S. to China.
China Initiative was the biggest and the best-known government sponsored Sinophobia. According to Wikipedia, “the program targeted hundreds of prominent Chinese-American academics and scientists, of which an estimated 250 lost their jobs. Many more had their careers negatively impacted and the prosecutions also contributed to at least one suicide.” Although DOJ claimed to have ended the program in 2022, there were repeated GOP House efforts to reinstitute it.
China Initiative, together with such strong Sinophobia sentiment in the U.S. as
(a) Pres. Trump’s statement that “almost every student that comes over to this country is a spy,” referring to Chinese students, and (b) the farcical Chinese spy balloon, gave the 5.5 million Chinese Americans a strong sense of uncertainty, insecurity, and unwantedness. Result? Those with high mobility and are strongly courted by China decided to leave the U.S. for China.
Massive Brain Drain from the U.S. for the first 9 months of 2025
Lo & behold, 16 prominent senior scientists are leaving the U.S. for China PERMANENTLY in just the first 9 months! Could there be other reasons than Sinophobia that is driving them off? Let’s examine more closely.
(a) How about the lack of funding for science? No! Prominent senior scientists of other nationalities are not known to be returning to their respective nations. (b) How about the recruitment programs of China like “1,000 Talent”? No! China started the “1,000 Talents” program back in 2008. Although many scientists of Chinese origin signed up for part-time or co-appoitments, for the first 9 years, only Prof. Shi Yigong, a chaired prof. of the Princeton Univ. went back to China permanently, to the best of my knowledge. In contrast, in the first 9 months of 2025, 16 scientists of such prominence are returning to China for good.
Conclusion: It is the Sinophobia in the U.S. that drove the following list of prominent, senior scientists of Chinese origin out of the U.S. The U.S. government must rethink its policy on intentionally creating a chilling effect among Chinese Americans. That policy seems counter-productive.

I’m currently watching “The Fading Gold,” a popular TV series. It’s a great example of a negative impact. It’s a classic example of the problems faced by entrepreneurs and wealthy individuals: why is it that wealth doesn’t last beyond three generations? Of course, you may not have friends like this or grow up in such a family, but the principle of “people die for wealth, birds die for food” is an ancient law. The best approach is to have your assets managed by a respected professional, not your own children. For example, a joint trusteeship of your bank’s trust department, your descendants, and an accountant can protect your assets. Of course, there are management fees, but if you do nothing, the problem could be even more serious. Losing more than you gain, your descendants could end up with nothing. I don’t think anyone wants to see that. I recommend everyone, whether wealthy or ordinary, watch this series. Available in Mandarin and Cantonese, think about the challenges your loved ones, friends, or even family members have faced, or are facing. Many Hong Kong TVB series are incredibly realistic and entertaining, showcasing the diverse aspects of life and the most sinister aspects of people, including those closest to you and your best friends.
Let me add one more thing: if you’re not fortunate enough to be in Hong Kong or Singapore, but unfortunately, you’re in the US, remember to do one more thing: move at least half of your assets out of the US, and convert at least half of your US dollar assets into gold or RMB. If you ask me why, it’s because many wealthy people in the US, both Chinese and white, are doing this! One advantage of the wealthy is that their information is more accurate and faster than that of ordinary people. They absolutely won’t go against money! Would you go against money?
Fang Yangtian (Roger Kwok) leads the multi-billion dollar Fang family business empire. His three sons are devoted and caring, making him a family known for their generosity. One day, Yangtian is involved in a car accident. Upon recovery, he returns with a woman named Lin Cheng (Chen Xiaohua) and announces three major events: 1. He will marry this young woman, thirty years his junior. 2. He will establish a trust for the family assets, leaving his own inheritance in vain. 3. The trust will be managed by a joint family office, executor Gao Shen (Luo Ziyi), a rival of the Fang family. This incident shakes up the Fang family. Yangtian’s three sons persuade their grandmother to file a lawsuit to overturn the trust. Yangtian, who values the family’s honor more than his own life, refuses to yield, even suing his mother and falling out with his sons. He vows to uncover the culprit behind the Fang family car accident.
