This is actually a Bloomberg story, the news organization that published the notorious spy chip article.

I want to add a few notes here. While China is the headlines the past six months, Russia is even a greater national security threat to the US, according to many. Does this mean we have to kick out all the researchers of Russia nationality?

I know of a few Iranian researchers in machine learning working here in the US. Using the same reasoning, they're almost certainly deemed a national security threat.

India is running a growing trade deficit with the US, and a lot of the software in our system are written by Indians in India. Using the same reasoning, that is a great national security threat to the USA.

Where does it end?

By the way, Russia produces some of the best mathematicians, physicists, and computer scientists in the world.
