Article starts off by framing this as a military/defense problem. A Chinese university with deep ties to the People's Liberation Army ... Doesn't every university in the US also have "deep ties to the US military" ? Understanding the perspective is important. | ||||||||

Well no. Not every university has deep ties to the us military. But many do. And furthermore, it is widely recognized that a key- key- pillar of the US dib are the research universities helping the US military. So if a key pillar of success to the us military is its research system then it absolutely makes sense (and would be negligent not to) target the research apparatus of the organization threatening you. Your complaining completely ignores the reality that China is an active, enduring threat to the US. Like that's their own words. So you cant just say "oh hypocrites" | ||||||||
