Looking at what Peter thiel and Weinstein presented, my impression has been that they are seeing the threat as a general trend as an influence on the US way of society. Or to be precise, the type of society that enjoyed by the rich. The powerful in US are not as better off as their counterparts in China.
As a Chinese American myself, any derivation from Peter and Weinstein's argument as the basis for special treatment to Chinese immigrants, or default being suspicious stereotype, is plain racism (looking at how Chinese Americans are treated, racism seem not applicable to our group).
