they are no longer as eager to apply for federal grants as before, and no longer easily seek academic cooperation with china, because the "american dream" seems to have been torn into many pieces. in the eyes of professor li kai, "i no longer feel safe." he can no longer continue to apply for federal funding and even gave up participating in the academic field. this is a common feeling. chinese scholars have felt the fear of government surveillance and potential investigations.

the phrase "chinese americans doing research" has become a social norm, reflecting the pressure and anxiety faced in reality. the fear of being troubled by "racial profiling" and "chinese background" has made many scholars lose confidence and even feel confused about the future. they are worried that their academic careers will be affected, and they are afraid of becoming victims of politics.

however, this is not an isolated incident. the actions of the us government are like a lingering shadow, leaving traces in every corner. even if the "china action plan" is terminated, it cannot completely eliminate the shadow on chinese scientists. attorney general garland's internal review of the plan and the progress of the nih closed-door investigation show that the government's actions have not stopped.

in the academic world, many scholars choose to leave the united states in search of a new life and new opportunities. their loss is not only a loss of talent, but also a symbol of cultural conflict, which reflects a politicized reality. the death of professor wu ying has also become a controversial point that cannot be avoided.

despite all the difficulties they are experiencing, chinese scientists still maintain their pursuit of science and are full of hope for the future. however, their hope is overshadowed by the "china action plan", which is undoubtedly a problem they face.
