      Scaring scientists away is a good thing? Or do you mean that’s more scientists for the rest of the world? Or are you simply a bigot implying that chinese-descent scientists surely are spies? So many interpretations possible :)

          If that is the idea then I’m behind it! Unfortunately too many bigots out there for me to assume that.
