Primary source from 1955: "Scientist to be deported from USA" : "A JPL scientist will leave the US for Red China Friday under a deportation order, the US INS said yesterday."

I'm not familiar enough to expand on your other comments. I personally tried to avoid saying anything inaccurate, and I think historical sources back up my statements.

I am saying that he initially tried to move to China of his own volition in or around 1950. He was detained, probably because the U.S. was currently engaged in hostilities with China-allied forces and then with Chinese troops directly. His attempt to return to China could only be seen as defecting to the enemy.

> He was not deported.

Sorry, I misinterpreted this.
