Via the Wall Street Journal ... If true, this certainly isn't good news for Harvard, or other research institutes receiving funding from China.
A Harvard University Chair of Chemistry has been accused of lying to the Defense Department and the National Institute of Healthregarding funding he received from China. Specifically, Charles M. Lieber is accused of hiding funding he received from China. Through what is called their Thousand Talents Program - whose purpose is to recruit top researchers - in 2019 U.S. Senate report effectively accused China of stealing U.S. (and foreign) research by secretly paying top scientists around the world to transmit or recreate their lab results in Chinese "shadow" labs.
While all U.S. based researchers are usually required to disclose all funding streams, China began hiding the identities of those receiving support.
Stay tuned. This is only going to get better (or is that worse?).
