#1 Yet the notion that we ought, for example, to harden our schools against Chinese penetration in strategically significant areas seems to vex some of our betters.

I blame investment portfolio revenue downturn for the "vexing."

#2 the likes of Obama administration national security official Ben Rhodes perversely claiming it is in part because of China hawks like Cotton that China has advanced its technological capability relative to America

That this poetasting pajama boy was ever a "national security official" tells us what we need to know about previous admins' foreign policy depth.

Future historians will be hard-pressed to find a parallel for our elites' unbelievable foolishness in building up a mortal rival and outsourcing our entire pharma manufacturing and other supply chains to such a hostile, aggressive, globally-ambitious rival.

#4 La Malinche maybe. But she acted alone. We have hundreds of thousands of malinches.

#5 Chinese students pay top dollar. Corrupt universities are now dependent on their payments. Remove the Chinese students and universities will go bankrupt.

#7 "such a hostile, aggressive, globally-ambitious rival"
Romans inviting Germanic tribes into the empire?

Hostile and aggressive, ja... Berserker even (no offense, Besoeker!)

But not globally-ambitious or even very ambitious at all.
The only historical precedent is this guy - have a look-see, Pilgrim:

#8 while the vast majority of students and researchers from China are in the United States for legitimate academic reasons..

I classify this as an unwarranted assumption.

#9 ^You have to say things like this. It's like "the vast majority of Muslims are peaceful".
