So why this happened?
FBI director Christopher Wray recently said, in response to Beijing’s “far-reaching campaign” of economic espionage, the FBI is now opening a new China-related counterintelligence case every 10 hours.
In July, Washington closed the Chinese consulate in Houston, calling it a “spy centre”.
As the US tightens its scrutiny of Chinese nationals over espionage concerns, screening selected departing Chinese students and researchers appears to be Washington’s new measure to counter economic espionage. Some of the students’ electronic devices were taken away for further examination and not returned for weeks.
It is “pure harassment”.
“If I were to steal any data or intellectual property, I could send it through cloud storage. Taking away my laptop and phone for examination does nothing more than harassment.” This student says.
China’s foreign ministry accuses Washington of “abusing” the judicial power to interrogate and arrest Chinese students in the US “under fabricated allegations”.

七月，华盛顿关闭了在休斯敦的中国领事馆，称其为“间谍中心”。
随着美国对间谍活动的关注加强对中国国民的审查，对选定的即将离任的中国学生和研究人员进行筛选似乎是华盛顿应对经济间谍活动的新措施。一些学生的电子设备被带走进行进一步检查，并且数周未归还。
这是“纯粹的骚扰”，“如果我要窃取任何数据或知识产权，则可以通过云存储发送。拿走我的笔记本电脑和手机进行检查无非是骚扰。”这个学生说。
