It sounds like you just don't understand how security clearances work.
Its about allegiance to a country. Not your race.
If you come to the US from China, revoke your Chinese citizenship, become a US citizen and limit your contact to Chinese citizens, you can get a security clearance.
Also a security clearance is not a right.

- waste_monk 8y agoThere is a list of countries (Iran and friends, I'm not sure if China was on the list) that if you have or had ever previously held citizenship you are permanently barred from working with ITAR controlled materiel. The reason being that otherwise there's nothing stopping you from renouncing your citizenship, stealing the secrets, and defecting in exchange for being granted citizenship again.
