I believe Chinese law is you can't hold dual citizenship so anyone with Chinese citizenship who becomes a naturalized US citizen loses their Chinese citizenship.
A shallow look at that may lead one to think there's no security issue. It's actually the opposite.
My sense is that this allows the Chinese government to entice former citizens with restoration of their citizenship if they come home, bringing all their skills and IP with them.
I'm not even sure this is explicit. It's simply understood that if you have knowledge in key industries the door is always open to your return to China.
Or it may be much more active and quid pro quo. Who knows?
