There is no appropriate section for non-military STEM threads.
(Member's Clubroom section is where non-military STEM threads are currently located. Members Club is a hodgepodge miscellaneous section, such as news, geopolitics like Miscellaneous thread, Hong Kong Protests, and Coronavirus pandemic thread...a clusterfck to be frank)
These threads can be moved to a new "Chinese Science and Technology" section, with few candidates as "pinned" flagships (Semiconductor!)
This new section can even replace the "Professional Discussion Section" that has been abandoned or un-used in almost a decade. Repurpose that section into a modern and relevant section that people will actually use.
