A new report by the researchers at the American Accountability Foundation documents that 21 assets of the Chinese Communist Party have infiltrated American universities and laboratories. This is a massive, but largely unaddressed, national security threat.
The report details infiltration of the United States research enterprise by scientists and engineers from the People’s Republic of China. The results are sobering; there are numerous examples of active members of the Chinese Communist Party being appointed to sensitive positions at U.S. universities and Chinese researchers being placed in positions that will allow them to transfer technology and research to the People’s Liberation Army and cultivate relationships with critical defense researchers in the U.S.
