> there is no doubt that such approvals require allegiance to the CCP and and some willingness to help the CCP when asked.

No, they really don’t. Where’s your source for this? You make it sound like we’re just admitting 350,000 spies into the States each year.

However, it is true that if you make these folks feel thoroughly unwelcome, they will want to just go home and help out - and that’s exactly what you’ll do by (a) being baselessly suspicious of them and (b) being harsh when they try to stay for studies or immigrate.

I dunno about OP, but there are definitely industrial spy issues, and individual Chinese students do have issues with the government in traveling to the US. I had a Chinese student who I would have loved to keep in the US, but according to him, his parents would suffer because they worked in the banking industry, and they'd fall under suspicion.

If hurt feelings are going to make someone fight for a totalitarian regime, that itself would be plenty reason to be suspicious. Of course, assuming that's even true -- it's not like you provided a source or anything.
