[ExI] colonial pipeline shutdown

One thing that I have not seen mentioned: industrial espionage - moles not

some Chinese scientists were sent back to China just a short time ago.
These are going to be hard to catch.
These Asian scientists and mathematicians contribute a lot, so I suppose we
can't do without them.
