We urge the President and Congress to limit funding of tuition, salary and living expenses in federal grants to American students and visiting scientists.
Why is this important?
There are more than150,000 Chinese students enrolled in American Universities. More than 80% are graduate students and most of them have their tuition and living expenses paid for by federal taxpayer funded grants. These students are learning economic and military technologies that they take back to China and set up businesses to compete with American businesses and to modernize their military. American professors have gone to China to lecture on anti-satellite weapons, cruise missile guidance systems, ballistic missile nose cone technology and many other military and dual use technologies. If we stop subsidizing these students through taxpayer funded grants we will create more of an incentive to recruit American graduate students in engineering and science.
