    I haven't read all of it, but is that satire? A mole placed deep in the Atlantic to support China? A complete douchenozzle?

    Again, I haven't read all of it, so I am sure I am missing the "LOL just kidding" part or the "take this as a warning" part.

    At the heart of this is a tool known as the "entity list" which allows companies that can be tied to unseemly things to be banned from US commerce. Funny enough, the Trump appointee who pulled the trigger on this list last year is a woman by the name of Nazak Nikakhtar in commerce. I was up in Washington earlier this year for a meeting with her - didn't realize the controversy around her at the time but read about it later. She ended up stepping down as acting head of the export office to take a lesser undersecretary role that she's still in now due to the heat. But, she struck me as very capable. The entity list, while incredibly effective, is definitely something that can stir up retaliation.

    I was more talking at the end of the video and China attacking western companies and their financial chokehold on the west.

    The NBA hired a CCP friendlyChinese native to run NBA operations in China to appease the CCP. The CCP isn't satisfied with that and still wants everyone that showed any sign of supporting Hong Kong fired.

    It also showed the NBA censoring American's at NBA games in America this year that had signs or shirts that supported Hong Kong.

    Not just that.

    There’s a lot of media, academics, politicians, and ceo’s are compromised by them.

    Pure. Simple.

    It isn't ideology, it is the sweet, sweet Yuan.

    Where’s Joe McCarthy when you need him?

    Random JFK fact that no one cares to know:

    Did you know that JFK was friends with McCarthy, never publicly condemned his actions and refused to vote to censure him in the Senate (he abstained)? In fact, JFK didn’t publicly condemn McCarthy until 1956, when Eleanor Roosevelt - the leader of the liberal left (and who JFK loathed - loathed...listen to what I’m saying to you....JFK privately hated almost all liberals, including Eleanor) demanded it. Still, Eleanor still strongly disliked JFK , and delayed her endorsement of him for so long. Without that, the Democratic Party is split and it’s inconceivable that JFK wins the national election.

    Both Joe Sr. (Patriarch of the Kennedy clan) and the entire Kennedy clan loved Joe McCarthy, both for his shared Irish-Catholic background and his anti-communist positions. McCarthy was a frequent visitor to the Kennedy compound, and actually dated two of JFK’s sisters (Pat & Eunice).

    RFK served as minority counsel on McCarthy’s Senate panel, and thought so highly of him that he made him the Godfather of his first child.

    Both JFK & McCarthy shared a hated the “elites” of the State Department (sound familiar?). So much so that JFK once took to the House floor to excoriate the Truman Admin State Department, blaming their inaction as the reason that a large Asian nation had been “lost” to communism.

    That country was China.

    And we’re still dealing with that foreign policy catastrophe to this day.

    Trump suspends all passenger flights from China and all Chinese researchers from US, for stealing secrets.

    Clarification:

    1. The banning of passenger flights from China is in response to their doing the same to ours. It is assumed that this is temporary.

    2. The banning of Chinese researchers is permanent.

    What constitutes a researcher? A third of every Master's program in just about anything STEM is foreign national. And depending on the field, is split between China, India, Pakistan and assorted middle eastern countries.

    Those would constitute researchers, I believe.

    Am I wrong in that? Did you notice anything similar?

    Felt like a lot of foreign nationals extended visas through graduate programs.

    Not professional schools, for the most part, but graduate programs.

    My program was majority Asian (lot of Iranians included in that). That was Old Dominion so not really a top school in most fields. I actually am not sure if Old Dominion could have filled their spots with enough Americans that were capable of doing the work at the stipend they gave.

    At UT the 1/3 thing was true 10 years ago.
