A spokesperson says---
“...Qian (1911-2009), a promising young engineer from China, traveled to America in 1935 on a Boxer Indemnity Scholarship. Advancing quickly through the ranks at MIT and Caltech, he became a pioneer of the American space age, co-founding the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and helping the US win World War II. But as extreme nationalism swelled in the U.S. and the Cold War began, Xuesen soon found himself accused of being a communist. Caught between war and politics, what happened next shaped the future of both his adopted and native homelands..."
