Minnesota college event warns white students to deal with 'nasty little racist inside them' China silent amid growing doubts over coronavirus origins Ted Cruz: 'The votes are up in the air' on witnesses for Senate trial "This is not an accident or coincidence," said U.S. Attorney Andrew E. Lelling at a press conference to announce the charges.
"This is a small sample of China's ongoing campaign to siphon off American know-how and technology for China's gain." Wuhan University of Technology paid Mr. Lieber $1.74 million to establish a lab and conduct research along with a $50,000 per month salary and $158,000 in living expenses over several years, according to court documents.
Specifically, Mr. Lieber is accused of lying about his involvement with China's Thousand Talents Plan, a program that recruits overseas researchers to boost the country's science and technology.
In its complaint, the FBI said the program has "Rewarded individuals for stealing proprietary information and violating export controls." Mr. Lieber was one of three Boston-area researchers accused Tuesday by the Justice Department of working on behalf of China.
U.S. Authorities stopped Mr. Zheng at Logan Airport where the materials were discovered hidden in a sock inside his travel bags, according to court documents.
Mr. Zheng initially lied to authorities about the contents of his luggage, but later admitted that he intended to bring the vials to China and publish the research under his own name for a career boost.
Sen. Rob Portman, Ohio Republican, said the charges reflect China's unrelenting effort to pilfer U.S technology and pledged to introduce legislation to protect researchers.
