If they are vetted thoroughly for either no CCP connections or active animosity toward the CCP, coupled with being made aware of guaranteed severe punishment for espionage. This is all of course pie-in-the-sky thinking from someone who thinks it's possible for the US to have an efficient legal apparatus that isn't actively trying to destory it from within

Problem is, reasonable proposals like yours are how it starts in the first place.

Then it slowly degenerates, as we have seen with the history of our own country.

Which is why I'm no longer willing to compromise. They already have a huge country. They can fix it.

There might be a hilarious third option though.

Send them to Taiwan and tell them that they can wait in the Real China while we process their requests. If they're OK with that, then they're probably not CCP. If they protest, they probably are CCP.

The way I figure is they're a bit like the North Koreans. They're taught from a young age to hate their adversaries (Taiwan being a particularly egregious sore on their culture).

I think that would be a reasonable litmus test, don't you?
