Several prominent Chinese figures, including top Harvard mathematician Liu Jun, award-winning computer scientist and blockchain expert Chen Jing and rising AI star Fu Tianfan, have since left the US and returned to China to take up roles in prestigious institutions in cities like Beijing, Nanjing and Shenzhen.

It's funny to me that they rather risk random censorship than, idk, humiliatingly detained with a chance of dying. At least CCP is bad in a consistent way, Trump is just bad in a very random way.

Also, China acknowledges things like climate change, while now any mention of climate change will get your funding cut in the US.

Not only acknowledges, but actively trying to cut down emissions. They're a growing country(that is still growing because china is crazy huge) and factory of the world, per capita of emission is significantly lower than US. American should be ashamed for letting this happen despite being a developed country, and now its actively screwing over the humanity's future.

China learned a lesson from events 10-30 years ago, toxic smog rolling into cities and all that ...

It would have been good if the whole world had learned the same thing from their experience, but here we are.

Lawful Evil is at least predictable, contrary to Chaotic Evil.
