I have heard of another story. Qian didn't want to go back to China, and the US govn't didn't want him to go back either. Apparently China made an offer the US couldn't refuse and they were forced to send Qian back to China. I think the story specifically mentioned the involvement of Zhou Enlai. I have no clue how true it is. This is the version that my parents believe.
Of course, the other side of the story was that after some Chinese national talked with Qian at a meeting of some sort, his security clearance was immediately taken away ( I think he was a pretty high ranking officer in the US army, possibly a colonel). That's why Qian decided to go back.
