The New York Times Sounds the Alarm: rCLAmericarCOs Best Chinese Talent Is LeavingrCoAnd Trump Ruined It All!rCY

Recently, the University of Wisconsin has begun modeling the consequences of a sharp decline in international studentsrCoincluding the severe financial impact on the university. The catalyst traces back to spring 2025, when the Trump administration abruptly launched a large-scale deportation campaign, forcibly removing dozens of international studentsrCoamong them several Chinese nationals from the University of WisconsinrCoMadison.

Take computer science as an example. According to a 2024 survey by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), 57% of doctoral graduates in this field across the United States held temporary visasrCowith Chinese students consistently forming the largest group. Crucially, these students are far more than just tuition-paying enrollees; they are indispensable contributors to cutting-edge research.

Consider Professor Karu Sankaralingam of UWrCoMadisonrCOs Computer Sciences Department, whose research focuses on energy-efficient AI chip designrCoa highly sensitive area. He revealed that, around five years ago, out of growing concern over political and regulatory risks, he stopped admitting Chinese graduate students altogether. By 2025, under even stricter institutional compliance guidelines, he suspended all international recruitment. rCLItrCOs not that I donrCOt want to admit them,rCY he said, rCLitrCOs that I no longer dare to.rCY This self-imposed restriction is increasingly disconnecting American laboratories from the global pool of top scientific talent.

According to NSFrCOs 2024 data, in critical STEM fieldsrCoscience, technology, engineering, and mathematicsrCoapproximately 57% of PhD graduates hold temporary visas, with Chinese students constituting the single largest nationality. For instance, in 2020, nearly one-fifth (about 18%) of all STEM doctorates awarded in the U.S. went to Chinese citizens.

Many leading U.S. research labs have long relied heavily on Chinese PhD students to carry out core research tasks. These students often bring exceptional strength in mathematics and theoretical foundations, demonstrate extraordinary work ethic, and are willing to commit to long-cycle, high-risk frontier projectsrCoin areas such as artificial intelligence algorithms, quantum computing, and advanced materials.

Over the past four decades, more than 70% of the core work behind AmericarCOs most advanced semiconductor technologies was carried out by Chinese international students.

Now, they are leavingrCogradually, but decisively.

==================================================

Many contributions by Chinese and Chinese-American scientists and engineers to U.S. technological advancement have been systematically overlooked, downplayed, or even erased from mainstream narratives. This rCLinstitutional forgettingrCY stems both from historical biases and recent political climates (such as the rCLChina InitiativerCY).

Below is a systematic overview of several pioneering yet often forgotten Chinese/Chinese-American scientists and engineers whose work was truly groundbreaking

rLa 1. Wong Tsu (Wang Zhu, 1893rCo1965)
- Background: A pioneer of modern Chinese aviation; earned a masterrCOs degree in aeronautical engineering from MIT in 1916rCothe first Chinese person to do so.
- Contribution:
- Joined the fledgling Boeing Company in 1016 as its first aeronautical engineer;
- Designed and supervised the construction of BoeingrCOs first mass-produced aircraftrCothe Model C (also known as the B&W Seaplane), which was purchased by the U.S. Navy, giving Boeing its first major contract and saving the company from bankruptcy;
- Revered as the rCLFather of Boeing.rCY
- Current status: His photo and a commemorative plaque are displayed at the Boeing MuseumrCobut he remains virtually unknown to the general public.

rLa 2. An Wang (1920rCo1990)
- Background: Chinese-American computer scientist and entrepreneur; Ph.D. from Harvard University.
- Contribution:
- Invented magnetic core memory in 1948rCothe dominant form of computer main memory from the 1950s to the 1970s, laying the foundation for modern computing;
- Founded Wang Laboratories, which became the worldrCOs second-largest computer company in the 1970srCo80s, trailing only IBM;
- Pioneered the concept of rCLword processing.rCY
- Current status: Due to later business missteps, his company declined, and his technical legacy has been largely marginalized in mainstream computer history.

rLa 3. Huey Lin (Lin Hua, 1923rCo2015)
- Background: Chinese-American missile expert; Ph.D. from MIT.
- Contribution:
- One of the core designers of the Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM);
- The Minuteman III remains a cornerstone of the U.S. nuclear triadrCOs land-based deterrent and has been in service for over 50 years;
- Served as a senior engineer at Lockheed Martin.
- Contrast: While many of his white colleagues received medals or media recognition, Lin remained largely unacknowledged.

rLa 4. Luke Chia-Liu Yuan (Lu He-fu / Lu He-fu, 1914rCo1997)
Note: You may have recalled the name as rCLLu He-shen,rCY but it is actually Luke Chia-Liu Yuan, a renowned physicist and classmate of Qian Xuesen.
- Background: One of the founding figures of nuclear physics in China; later moved to the U.S.
- Contribution:
- In the 1940s, at the University of Minnesota, he first precisely measured the fission cross-section of uranium-235, providing critical data for the Manhattan Project;
- Known as the rCLFather of Chinese Nuclear Energy.rCY
- Extension: His son, Vincent Yuan, is also a prominent physicist who worked on nuclear research at U.S. national laboratories.

rLa 5. Alfred Y. Cho (Zhuo Yihe, 1937rCo)
- Background: Chinese-American physicist; member of the National Academy of Engineering and Bell Labs Fellow.
- Contribution:
- Invented Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE), the foundational technology for manufacturing modern semiconductor chips, lasers, and quantum devices;
- Dubbed the rCLFather of MBErCY; recipient of the U.S. National Medal of Science and IEEE Medal of Honor;
- His work underpins smartphones, fiber optics, LEDs, and more.
- Current status: Well-known in academic circles but rarely recognized by the public.

rLa 6. Charles K. Kao (Gao Kun, 1933rCo2018)
- Background: Chinese-born physicist (Shanghai); later became a British citizen.
- Contribution:
- Proposed and experimentally validated the theory of fiber-optic communication, earning him the title rCLFather of Fiber OpticsrCY;
- Without his work, the internet, 5G, and high-definition video would not exist;
- Awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2009 (though by then he suffered from AlzheimerrCOs and could not speak at the ceremony).
- Irony: The Nobel announcement barely mentioned his Chinese origins; Western media often labeled him simply as a rCLBritish scientist.rCY

rLa 7. Chien-Shiung Wu (Wu Jianxiong, 1912rCo1997)
- Background: Experimental physicist; hailed as the rCLMadame Curie of the East.rCY
- Contribution:
- Conducted the famous rCLWu ExperimentrCY that confirmed the violation of parity conservation, directly leading to the 1957 Nobel Prize in Physics for Tsung-Dao Lee and Chen-Ning Yang;
- She herself was excluded from the Nobel award, becoming one of the most infamous omissions in scientific history;
- Also contributed to the Manhattan Project by improving uranium enrichment techniques.
- Famous quote: rCLI never cared about gender or racerCoonly about truth.rCY

rLa 8. Morris Chang (Zhang Zhongmou, 1931rCo)
- Background: Founder of TSMC; Ph.D. from MIT.
- Contribution:
- Pioneered the dedicated semiconductor foundry model, separating chip design from manufacturingrCoa move that enabled companies like Qualcomm, NVIDIA, and Apple to thrive with custom chips;
- Today, TSMC produces over 90% of the worldrCOs advanced chips, serving as the rCLinvisible backbonerCY of the digital age.
- Current status: Only recently gaining wider attention due to geopolitical tensions, though his structural impact on global tech has long been underestimated.

Efoi Why Have These Contributions Been rCLErasedrCY?
1. Systemic bias: Cold War-era stereotypes casting Asians as rCLperpetual foreignersrCY;
2. Politicization: Recent rCLChina threatrCY narratives leading to suspicion of ethnic Chinese scientists as potential conduits for rCLtechnology transferrCY;
3. Narrative monopoly: Scientific history is predominantly written by Western institutions, where non-white contributors are often generalized (rCLBell Labs inventedrCarCY) rather than credited individually;
4. Cultural modesty: Many Chinese scientists prioritized research over self-promotion.

EfoU Recommended Further Exploration
- Documentaries:The Chinese Exclusion Act (PBS),Silicon Dragon
- Books:The Scientists Behind the Screens: Asian Americans in Tech
- Museums: The Museum of Flight in Seattle (Wong Tsu exhibit), the Computer History Museum in California (An Wang exhibit)

In AmericarCOs top-tier AI labs, one out of every three core researchers is of Chinese descent, so the global AI race has morphed into a civil war among Chinese academic elitesrCohalf in China, half in U.S. laboratories.

=============================================================
NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has stated: rCL50 % of AI researchers worldwide are of Chinese descent.rCY Core projects such as OpenAIrCOs Sora team, AnthropicrCOs Claude team and X AIrCOs Grok team are dominated by ethnic-Chinese engineers.
Chinese engineers are becoming the backbone of the U.S. AI sector. So why can they become the backbone? We have summarised the key reasons below:



1. **Solid math & STEM education foundations**
The Chinese education systemrCocentralised, standardised and fiercely competitiverCoproduces students with outstanding algorithmic thinking and mastery of mathematics and natural sciences. In 2015, 43 % of top-tier AI academic papers had at least one Chinese researcher involved, regardless of where the work was conducted. Chinese students take pride in their rigorous maths, engineering and science training, providing the essential skills for AI research.

2. **Huge talent pool & scale advantage**
As the worldrCOs largest higher-education system, China has an enormous reservoir of STEM talent: 45 % of university graduates major in science, technology, engineering or mathematics. This scale ensures a continuous supply of high-quality personnel for the AI industry. In 2022, Chinese researchers accounted for 26 % of the worldrCOs most elite AI researchersrCoalmost on par with the U.S. (28 %). Recently, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang stated that rCL50 % of global AI researchers are ethnic Chinese,rCY and the proportion is even higher among Chinese engineers in the United States.

3. **Diligent & focused work culture**
Chinese engineers are widely known for working long and hard hours. A viral PhD-supervisor requirement shows students working 11 hours a day, from 8:30 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.; the rCL996rCY schedule has become the norm for Chinese engineers in Silicon Valley.

4. **Cultural emphasis on technology & education**
Techno-nationalist ideologyrCoor the modern slogan rCLmaster math, physics & chemistry, and you can go anywhererCYrCostill exerts powerful influence. Many ethnic Chinese are trained from birth to compete in STEM fields.

5. **International education background & open mindset**
A large number of ethnic-Chinese AI experts have been educated in both China and the U.S.: they possess ChinarCOs solid mathematical foundation and have received cutting-edge AI research training at top U.S. universities. U.S. institutions depend more on Chinese AI researchers (38 %) than on American-born ones (37 %).

The New York Times Sounds the Alarm:
rCLAmericarCOs Best Chinese Talent Is LeavingrCoAnd Trump Ruined It All!rCY

Learning to fact-check posts, a habit is developing.

Google's search engine has:

<< No results found for The New York Times Sounds the Alarm:
rCLAmericarCOs Best Chinese Talent Is LeavingrCoAnd Trump Ruined It All!rCY. >>

Maybe the translation was not exactly what was written,
if there was an actual article in the Times.

Without a source, there's no dao,
no way to check what was said
to have been said.

That being said, the remainder of the post
is questioned as to how much of it is true
compared to what is more like propaganda.

The rest of the message went unread.

- thanks! aye. Cheers!

Could be that what Luckin Coffee fan sees
is what the government translates from English
into Chinese and then back to English with a spin.

Or, perhaps there was no such article.

The rest of the message went unread.

That tends to be what happens at times when
a source is deemed untrustworthy.

When there is no freedom of the press
a government is free to write as it chooses
to inculcate what it cares to perpetuate
its own selves.

The population of the mythological creation
then has no options available to it to determine
what is actually happening in the rest of the world.

- thanks! Cheers!
