Changes in the U.S. Research Environment Trigger Concerns and a Return Trend Among Chinese-American Scientists

Foreign media: Under the policy influence of the Trump administration, the U.S. scientific community has fallen into chaos, and many Chinese-American researchers feel uneasy.

A biologist working in the Midwest said that he had originally planned to retire in the United States, but now is considering returning to China.
