1) We don’t want them.

2) The O1 visa is open to “the most talented minds” so why couldn’t they get that.

3) They were always working for the CCP.

You do realize how ridiculous you sound when airing #3, right?

As for #1, who is 'we'?

Use game theory for #3:

-You're a Chinese national in the US on a work visa or student visa

-CCP asks you to do something

What do you do?

Let's use game theory for #3.

- You're an American running a business in the US (or somewhere else).

- Trump (or some TLA) demands that you do something, holding a threat over you.

What do you do? Are all Americans actually pawns of MAGA, or the spook agencies? How should the world respond to this implication?

This seems accurate, yes. Do you actually not think this is true?

You are showcasing your ignorance as lucidly as possible, bravo. Befriend some Chinese students studying in the US and you will quickly learn hardly any are fans of Xi and the CCP.
