Where do you get the info that China isn't inviting foreigners?

Also American research sites aren't somewhat open either. They kicked out the Chinese from the ISS..
I don't know if they are or are not inviting foreigners. However, I do know that inviting them and allowing them full access to the station would put national security concerns to rest.
I was talking about American antarctic stations, not all American research sites. Though I'm now curious what the reasoning was for the ISS kick.
What national security concerns? Antarctica is on the other side of the planet. China isn’t going to invade the US from there, so I’m not especially concerned for my safety.
The article cited signals intelligence. I'm not with the NSA or anything, so I'm pretty much just going off the article.
