#1 Nope - if they paid their way to China, they can pay their way back. Enough of the corporate (and other) welfare bullshit.

#2 Use a means test. Apple can afford to pay their way. If they need help, low interest loans or long term tax breaks. Tell them if they do not move they will be tariff'd out of existence.

#3 Cash payments? No! I'll go with OM's low interest loans and tax break.

* Corporations don't pay taxes anyway. Any tax they are levied is essentially a expense of business which is passed on to the consumer.

#4 Laugh at them for being such naive fools and make it possible for shareholders to sue the folks that made such idiot short term decisions as to move everything to a commie dictatorship that uses slave labor and eats bat soup.

#5 Useless w/o tariffs. Moving manufacturing back to US will fail as long as low/slave wage imports can undercut domestic prices.

#6 Another approach: give them a 3-year payroll tax holiday for those new American jobs created once they've exited China and brought the work onshore.

I.e. Tie the benefit to incremental US employment.

#7 ^The bennies to be abolished if they use a single H1B (let alone an illegal).

#8 I pretty much agree with these feelings here but after reading some stuff about the physics community I'd like to see it tied to real growth in US Stem education the doesn't rely on the Chinese student population. The hard working Chinese student has become a laugh line along with the tiger-Mom.

Can we get some of that attitude for our own?

#9 ^ Yes. Elicit the desired behavior with $$$.

Offer 4-year full-ride scholarships at any of ca. 35-40 Tier One or Tier Two public US research universities, renewable based on meeting a GPA threshold, for native-born US kids who show an aptitude for math and basic science.

Offer 2-year scholarships for math or basic science majors at another 100 or so lesser-ranked public universities.

This would essentially offset the lost revenue from kicking out the out-of-state tuition paid by the CCP gazillionaires' spawn. That equates to roughly $80 million per year for a place like TAMU or Penn State or the other large flagship public Tier One research universities which take in ca. 600 of these little brats from China each year, or about 2,500 total CCP spawn undergrads per university in any given year.

So the tab for the public generally, across the US, would be something like 50 of the Tier One/Tier Two universities would be about $4 billion for the entire US nation.

A bargain.

#10 Can we get some of that attitude for our own?

I, personally, prefer scientists with - just a bit - more intellectual integrity. Or, for that matter, scientific intuition & curiosity.

#11 #9 You have to reform the entire educational system - starting with kindergarten.

#12 One step at a time, g.

I could see allowing promising 16 year-olds to start college early through dual-enrollment programs that allow them to satisfy lower-division math/science requirements via college courses taken while in high school.

But we need to shoot the closest alligators:

1) the f---ing nightmare that is unaffordable university tuition and unsustainable student debt

2) the f---ing disaster that is flooding this country with hundreds of thousands of CCP spawn, Chinese "Confucius Institute" spies and other Chinese who should not be displacing our own kids.

#13 #12 Maybe you're right. Sorry. I'm simply not optimistic: too much "how much will I make", too little "a fire burning in my soul".

#14 Pay for the ~$6-7 billion per year Math & Basic Science Free Tuition Scholars Program by forcing corporations to chip in $100,000 to this program each year for every H-B they sponsor

#15 * H1B

#16 I could see allowing promising 16 year-olds to start college early through dual-enrollment programs that allow them to satisfy lower-division math/science requirements via college courses taken while in high school.

They can already do that with any college courses if the state or school district has such a program. Trailing daughter #2 matriculated one course short of a junior between two years of dual credit Japanese from the University of Cincinnati and a bunch of AP courses — and the high school paid the UC charges and fees.

#17 ^ = wave of the future. Cheaper, faster, more effective.

No way this nation will continue to spend such absurd sums on higher ed for so little social or individual benefit.

#18 The standard undergraduate college experience will eventually become 2 or at most 3 years of advanced work that builds upon lower-level college work completed during what is now the last 2 years of high school.
