Working for China
Lost in the hoo-hah over the Wuhan virus is another unsettling story involving our country’s not-so-good-for-us relationship with Red China.
Harvard University’s chemistry chairman has been formally charged with taking money from China–for, er, services rendered–and lying about it to the Dept. of Defense ( https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/harvard-s-chemistry-chair-charged-allegedly-lying-about-china-contract-n1124646?fbclid=IwAR2ljaNGaIpnlBQMxxB7SiBGX-xtWUT1QmpPAnr8sQQVe_H21eDreJyvPOc). The prof was paid $50,000 a month–by the Wuhan University Institute of Technology!–how about that?–for his work for China’s “Thousand Talents” program, a recruitment scheme which authorities say was involved in “stealing proprietary information and violating export controls.”
The professor has been placed on “indefinite administrative leave.” Not fired, though.
He’s not the only one working for China. In fact, China has bought up big shares of our, uh, “higher education” institutions. It seems to be part of a wider scheme to steal intellectual property, disseminate Chinese propaganda, and forge ahead of us technologically by acquiring another country’s research. They’ve also collected a fair-sized cadre of important lobbyists.
Honk if you think this is a good thing for America.
The sooner this monstrous communist regime collapses and is seen no more, the better for the entire world.
