Following the joint signing of a statement by 177 professors and scholars at Stanford University demanding that the FBI stop acting, more than 100 professors and scholars at Yale University have recently issued an open letter condemning and demanding the termination of the absurd "China Action Plan."
This "China Action Plan" was made in 2018 when Us Secretary of Justice Sessions, under Trump, wanted to crack down on economic espionage operating in the United States and crack down on activities with clandestine influence. After that, the U.S. Department of Justice acted accordingly, but all the researchers in the United States who cooperated with Chinese universities, including scientific research institutions, and the american scientists involved, launched an investigation against Chinese scientists. And arrested and prosecuted some scientific researchers. Scientific research and academia in the United States are very popular, and everyone is at risk.

An open letter from a Yale professor and scholar pointed out that the absurdity of the so-called "China Action Plan" lies in its extremely discriminatory nature, which completely points the finger at Chinese scholars. The so-called effort to "purge American college campuses" has resulted in a serious threat to scientific inquiry and academic freedom. In fact, a survey conducted by the MIT Technology Review in the United States showed that most of the cases involved in the "China Action Plan" have been dismissed or even basically unfounded.
Earlier, 177 scholars and professors from Stanford University in the United States jointly issued an open letter, strongly demanding that the US judicial department not allow the so-called Chinese spies to be searched in American universities. During Trump's tenure, the U.S. Department of Justice pushed for the "China Action Plan" that raised concerns about their respective ethnic identity backgrounds. What is really damaged by this move is the US research capabilities and scientific and technological competitiveness.
The United States is a country of immigrants, and most of its intellectual technology, including the power of research, comes from immigrants. Steven Chu, a Chinese-American physicist at Stanford University and a former U.S. secretary of energy, worries that today's situation in the United States is no longer even a matter of "moving a stone and dropping a foot," but simply "raising a gun and headshot."
The New York Times also reported earlier that various universities in the United States have been shrouded in a chilling effect, whether it is the incident in which Chinese scientist Hu Anming was falsely accused by the FBI for no reason; or chinese scientists in the United States have collectively released an investigation report involving "suspected racial discrimination in the US national security investigation."

However, there is no sign of a pause in U.S. intelligence agencies. This follows a short video released in 2020 to warn U.S. officials that the Chinese government is luring them. The FBI has stepped up its efforts and released a new documentary that exaggerates the belief that the Chinese government and commercial spies are threatening American businesses. To reveal that the Chinese government, thousands of miles away, is carrying out economic espionage activities against US commercial entities through certain means to steal trade secrets, and has already brought serious losses to US enterprises and national security.
The FBI documentary, "Made in Beijing: A Plan to Dominate the Global Market," features "4 cases" involving yellow-faced Chinese who "stole secrets from U.S. companies" to the detriment of U.S. interests. One of the interviewed experts, interviewed in the documentary, completely disregarded the facts and deduced that there are only two types of companies in the United States, either under attack or attack by Chinese hackers, or they are being hacked or attacked by Chinese hackers, and they do not know it.

The FBI was an important promoter during the implementation of the "China Action Plan," and its agents have repeatedly exposed the media for all kinds of vicious and absurd acts used against Chinese scientists in the process of investigating and manufacturing cases and investigating them. The launch of this documentary comes at a time when the "China Action Plan" is facing criticism and scrutiny from all sides in the United States.
The "China Action Plan" of the United States has made Chinese scientists in the United States feel more and more pressure. As a result, the return of talent to China began. In the past period of time, more and more Chinese scientists are being attracted by the development of the country and national pride, and are on the way back to China.
