The United States has discontinued the acceptance of highly accomplished students from communist China, opting to deport them back to their home country. The rationale behind this shift is rooted in concerns that some Chinese nationals may have interests aligned with invading Taiwan or suppressing the situation in Hong Kong, which the U.S. finds challenging to accommodate.
Contrasting with the past, during Jimmy Carter's era, there was a need for individuals with communist backgrounds, leading the U.S. to select a few from countries like the USSR and China. For instance, Nixon selected a young Jet Li, who later became a renowned martial arts star. Similarly, in the 1990s, the U.S. welcomed the talent behind the popular game Tetris, spanning various platforms like Gameboy and PC. Another example involves Cuban baseball players, where despite ideological differences, players from communist Cuba collaborated with U.S. teams to participate in baseball.
