Well, speaking of "nuclear scientists", only one country has dropped nuclear bombs on civilians, and it wasn't China.
I've been looking into topic modeling lately. It looks like this is the best library for doing that: https://github.com/baidu/Familia Time to learn Mandarin I guess.

Where on earth did you get that from? Which part of the article, or any evidence at all, supports your statement? And in what situation do you think it's acceptable to write in such a way?

Your specific claim was that scientists are being recruited from abroad for work on these things, except, they're not ("Except this time, China is hiring for genetic specialists to experiment on Uighur babies in concentration camps").
Trying to shove some other agenda into anything China-related is becoming really dull. You're trying to start some sort of ideological war when we really should be discussing science funding.

You can easily find stuff about western gene-editing research and plans, just not a 'me first' for babies:

China's cameras? Well, the US is the surveillance champion of the world. Maybe search "snowden". And unlike China, it also violates my privacy as a European.

Actual action, not mere "program": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_bombings_of_Hiroshima_a...
And air-pollution? Do you know how US cities were back in the day? Or even today? And that's without being the world's top manufacturer...

I don't really think China is luring too many U.S. scientists... Most of the scientists I know pretty much ignore research out of China, because a large portion of it is just not replicable (and / or lies).
Well I guess the first step would be luring Chinese scientists currently in US back to China (many of those have US citizenship and would also be counted as US scientists)
China has started the The Thousand Talent program to recruit professors from all over the world: http://www.1000plan.org/en/. Also, Chinese govt now offering international students scholarships to cover the cost if they enroll: https://www.scholarshipsads.com/china-scholarships/.

How on earth do you not know to google? And in what situation do you think it's acceptable to keep asking people to post easily found links?

I'm happy to agree that U.S. surveillance activities violate your privacy, but I'm not sure you should say "unlike China" in this context.

Fascinating. Also in such a situation. What makes Familia the best vs. gensim/NLTK?

I agree that the comparison to Hitler is a non sequitur. However, as a citizen in a democracy, I am pretty sure the writer of that posts intends it to be a criticism of an authoritarian dictatorship and not China's people or people of Chinese descent.
I'm sure he's not a monster. Thing is, Americans find it very hard to see us as anything other than monsters. It's exhausting to try and have a conversation when the interlocutor is ready to terminate it at any point because s/he decides that you are either evil or brainwashed. (To me, that's where the real prejudice lies - the inability to imagine other people as moral, not just intellectual, equals) I should also s…
