How has it or will it impact the US? With America’s money can’t they just attract immigrant intellectual labour with high salaries?

Yes and no. We used to actively court immigrant intellectuals, now we're accusing every Chinese intellectual of espionage and frothing at the mouth to deport anyone darker than freshly fallen snow. People with advanced degrees see what's happening in the US and are choosing to go elsewhere.
