China Recruits Convicted U.S. Scientists

State‑backed research hubs in China are attracting U.S. researchers who faced legal or ethical troubles at home, offering them advanced facilities and roles that accelerate national neurotech and bioscience capability. This dynamic creates a feedback loop where talent, tools (nanofabrication, primate labs), and state funding combine to move sensitive research offshore. — If true and scalable, this pattern changes the balance of scientific capacity and raises governance, export‑control, and national‑security questions about who builds dual‑use technologies and where.
