      This is most likely directly motivated by specific anti-China actions done by the USA or sinophobia experienced by the scientists or by actions taken by China to incentivise them to move home. Which I say because it means the motivating factors aren’t present among non-Chinese. The majority of talent in the USA isn’t Chinese, and the USA does have the highest expert salaries in the world to attract foreign talent.
