    Qian Xuesen was NOT simply "deported" back to China. He wanted to go back to China on his own, saying that his reasoning was simple: He didn't want to make weapons that would kill his countrymen. The US put him under house arrest to PREVENT him from leaving, and only let him go as part of a prisoner exchange later on.

      it was worse than that.
      the man was arrested under false charges.
      all of his colleagues vouched for him, but regardless with no evidence they revoked all his access preventing him from doing his primary work, subjected him to long trials and detentions then placed him under house arrest when they could not get anything to stick(because he is actually innocent). while under house arrest, he read a news paper, one piece of news was that china was calling Chinese scientists back to help develop the country. he made up his mind then. i think it was an easy decision. the US of course did not want to let him go and tried everything. he might have died under house arrest, but china offered to return a bunch of us pilots captured in the Korean war for him, and so a prisoner exchange happened and he was allowed a ticket to china. lots of shady things happened in between, such as offers of giving him his access back in return for staying in the US(lol like who would trust you at this point?) and murmurs of an assassination attempt if he got off the boat at any of its stops.

      But hey, competition is a good thing. It fuels inventiveness and brings people to keep trying to one up each other all the time.
      And in this field its great, its not military competition but peacefull space exploration.
      And when it comes to launch vehicles, China is already where the USA/Soviet Union was in the 70s, and on a decent path of improvement. Even though the performace of their launch vehicles and engines is still a bit lacking behind even that. Modern computers compansate quiet a bit.

The consequences were always a Chinese successful push to innovation and self-reliance. Maybe a change of US politics is necessary in this regard and collaboration can be a win-win.

      ​@@LifelongLearnerForeveri think the western ideal of multiple political parties is overhyped. The word "dictatorship" by itself is neutral, and it is because of bad dictators and western propaganda that turned this word into a negative one. A dictatorship doesn't mean the people are being suppressed, but having one ruling party manage the country. The united states boasts its democracy but none of the candidates are good options and they do not have the country's best interest in mind. Plus the us citizens arent that free either, just look at all the suppression of freedom in different races and genders.
      One advantage of a good dictatorship is letting the country focus on a singular goal instead of having to worry about competition and wasting time fighting over meaningless things. When a government embodies the entirety of a country's ideal, theres no need for multiple parties.
