If you're unwilling to help them make discoveries (some of the most important in history), you'll lose them to someone who will.
It's that simple- even though it's heartbreaking to see.
Honestly it sounds like a scam being perpetrated by Chinese scam artists of which there are many
Let him go, let him get the 'eff out. We don't need these whiney immigrants at all.
Of course he posted on BlueSky.
Brilliant scientists spend most of their time and mind on science, and consequently are easily exploited by political sharpshooters because politically they are often naive.
I bet this scientist doesn't know (because he gets his news from probably
No surprise he posted that message to b*uesky and the Communist Chinese reached out to him.
Turns out when Trump said "tough on China" what he really meant was "here's global dominance on a silver platter". Who knew 
This is how we lose top scientists and defend research & universities.
Funding top education & research made use of leaders in science & technology.
100 years trashed
.
Other countries realize value.
Fine, other American universities who have not had their funding cut can do the same.
And now China can sell it back to us. Way to go, Trump. Now I understand why he had multiple bankruptcies.
This is "winning" in Trumpworld. But Trump & his crew couldn't care less because their only goal is robbing our country blind until there's nothing left.
The US-China relationship seems to be a quid pro quo of epic proportions : wealth transfer on an unprecedented scale in exchange for immunity against prosecution. ( except maybe a little jail time for financial crimes, war crimes, and attempted genocide by weaponizing nutrition )

Just giving China everything at this point. Who does this administration work for?
Sadly too few Americans realize the long-term damage this widespread brain drain will do to our nation's standing in the world and leadership role on the scientific stage.
trump and doge will go down in history as what started america's massive downfall - brain drain to extreme
Ask anyone who's done this how free or safe they feel in China, where you can be immediately incarcerated for going against their govt. China is not the answer for these people, even if these big offers seem inviting.
All of the stupid fucking right wingers in these replies can’t seem to get it through their thick skulls that research done at the fundamental levels of science is not ever profitable in the short term. Companies NEVER pay for it, it’s always one government or another.
I hope every single Scientist leaves our country and takes their research to China and every other country smart enough to fund biomedical research, and leaves America reverting to the ‘dark ages’ for decades.
That’s what #TACOTrump and ignorance are promoting.
America will lose all its Scientists and their discoveries due to ignorance on the part of the Trump administration.
And we’ll deserve it if we stand by and do nothing.
You can’t tell me he wasn’t also receiving offers from American biomedical/pharmaceutical companies. I’ll believe the “brain drain” narrative when I actually see these people depart for jobs abroad. He states he loves his adopted country…yeah and so do most of his peers.
Wow, what a story! Talent truly knows no borders. , your insights on global competition for innovation have been spot-on—this feels like a prime example. China’s aggressive funding moves are hard to ignore, especially when contrasted with cuts at home.
They can have this F'in Muslim.
Who gives a sh*t
"Immigrant comes to America, given everything, lives his dream, hates America"
This story is so tiring
