Massachusetts is home to top-ranked universities including Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It also hosts military contractors such as weapon maker Raytheon and defense system provider Mercury Systems.As part of the China Initiative, officials said they had met with local companies and colleges last week to encourage them to bring suspected instances of espionage to the attention of federal investigators.
Lelling said the large number of Chinese nationals living in Boston also made the city a potential espionage target, but officials added that most were in the US for legitimate reasons, such as study.

I'd say about 20-30% of the US population.
Who is "the Han" and how long will Chinese leaders listen to "the Han"? My take is that the leadership is muddling through too. Currently, they are somewhat more competent than corresponding US leadership, but there's nothing to keep it that way, certainly not a (far from unique) Chinese tradition of turning away from wisdom and losing mandates of heaven.
And?
