Inspired by a recent question someone else posted.

    If they chose to live outside of China, forfeiting their rights to return, then they seem like good people to me. Some Chinese heritage have lived in the US since the colonial days, being a very distinct group from modern Chinese culturally and an important part of American Culture. During the pandemic a lot of racists used the Chinese origin of the virus to push agendas and harass them; which I was strongly opposed to then and now, despite having no tangible connection to them I would protect their rights as much as my own.

    Something I have trouble trusting is when they are still allowed to return to China, and/or they come to the USA specifically to learn and work in the medicine and tech industries before returning. That just seems like espionage.
