This study looks at how US higher education faculty are dealing with increasing restrictions in the USA on employment of and cooperation with scholars and students from China. The study helps its readers to answer questions such as: What percentage of American scientifically oriented scholars have worked with Chinese scholars? Students? What percentage have shared authorial credit with a scholar or student from China? What do they think of the restrictions and limitations that the US Federal Government has placed on cooperation with Chinese nationals in science and research? Are policies too restrictive, inhibiting good science, or not restrictive enough, harming national security? Have such policies inhibited research in their labs or not?
