      All of my lab’s data is available on public GitHub repos. My Chinese student doesn’t have a leg up on anyone with an internet connection. It’s insane to discriminate like that. I can sort of see issues with DoD funded work, but basic science?

      The latter seems likely.

      But my point is actually that he’s (at best) trying to cover a single hole of a sieve. It’s not accomplishing anything.

      If this were a real problem to be solved, it would need to be done at the federal level, and not just against Chinese nationals. If it really were a risk to the states, it should be all foreign nationals in all colleges.
