> Prejudice Yes. What other form of insurance could I use here? > I have a dual citizenship, [...] I am not my governments’ property. No one is the property of their government but you have openly decided to split your allegiances. Anyways, you can only have this dual citizenship because both of these governments have decided to allow it, and that could change tomorrow.

> you have openly decided to split your allegiances Many people are born in the USA inherited dual citizenship. I personally know American-born Iranian and Russian citizens that would like to renounce their citizenship (since it negatively impacts their job opportunities in cleared engineering work) but are not able to do to current global political situations.

I retain my second citizenship in hope of a brighter future, not out of any sense of duty to my country.

  While I applaud your optimism, your hope for a brighter future is not a scalable solution for securing trade secrets at tech companies.

    If your company elects not to hire people on account of them being Chinese, they will rightfully get the pants sued off of them.

      > on account of them being Chinese Ethnically, yes, this would be immoral. On the basis of nationality, it's absolutely not immoral. In fact, in the US, it's /required by law/ to discriminate in this way if your company works on technology related to national security. It is illegal to discriminate on the basis of national origin, someone's birthplace, but not on the basis of nationality, their citizenship, in the case of national security. Only US citizens, including those who are naturalized, may work on technology related to national security within the US. What is prudent is another matter besides that which is legal. That which is moral is another matter besides that which is legal. I've made my opinion known, you're welcome to form your own.
