Did Chinese agents run a hotel at Meiringen military air base for years with the aim of finding out the secrets of the US F-35 fighter jet? There is no direct proof of this. But the evidence was apparently enough for the Bern cantonal police to evacuate the hotel in a discreet operation in late summer.
Because of suspicions of Chinese espionage, authorities have also become active elsewhere in recent years. For example, on the campus of the University and ETH Lausanne, where a group of Chinese installed themselves in the publicly accessible library of the Swiss Institute for Comparative Law in late autumn 2018. This is what research by this editorial team shows.
The guests were a mystery to the institute, which is under the supervision of the Federal Council and is administratively assigned to the Federal Department of Justice and Police. They spent their days in the library, their heads buried in books. They remained discreet, even during breaks in the tea kitchen. When they talked, it was between themselves. So they didn't disrupt the institute's operations. And yet people on site soon asked themselves: Who are these men and what are they doing?
Consideration for scholarships from the People's Republic
An institute employee finally managed to get in touch with the “students”. They told him that the People's Republic had sent them to Lake Geneva on scholarships to write their doctoral theses. They would later return to their homeland and in return would have to work for the state for two years. There didn't seem to be anything disreputable about it. But what if working on dissertations was a cover? What if the busy graduate students were actually spies?

A librarian at a local University reliably reports that Chinese students photocopy and scan an amazing amount of technical literature, much more than any student could possibly need.

They sure do.
China has the most extensive and powerful espionage network in human history.
But you don’t want to be called a racist, so be quiet.
This article just describes what goes on, and has gone on for two decades or more, in most any private or state university in the United States.
They also do this stuff at Los Alamos and other national labs. Once in a couple of years a token spy is prosecuted. But the steal and collapse of the US goes on.
CCP students out of the US! Indict university officials for letting this espionage go on.
Later, when they try to duplicate whatever it is, it crashes, blows up, etc.
And they do it in every company in the Santa Clara Valley because of their relatives who allege they are “Americans” that work in those companies.
They have an institute in China for reverse engineering, and they get info from said relatives.
Used to have to do it by direct personal connection. Now they just upload it over the internet to Uncle Tong back home in Guangdong.
Look at the number of foreign students that Harvard admits. They take places that our citizens should have.
Our citizens are busy overdosing and transitioning.
No surprise. About 20 years ago I was in line at a Best Buy and a Chinese national college student (couldn’t speak English at register) had a shopping cart literally filled with thousands of blank recordable CD’s. Hmmmm...I wonder what kind of data transfer that was all about...although a spare hard drive might have made more sense....who knows....
Same crap is going on here in America. Red Chinese soldiers came in as ‘poor asylum seekers’ and the Biden White Cantina is thinking about putting them up on “renamed” military posts. Geez.
An Amarican POTUS should halt and ban all Chinese nationals from all American colleges, cancelling all existing visas for them and denying any new ones; period. Amd we know we cannot expect that from Biden.
When I was in a computer science program back in the day we used to call the taiwanese students “Team Xerox”. ;-)
What a surprise. And WE give them tuition remissions so they can come and “study” here for free.
Wonder if the authors have ever been to one of our National Labs?
If not, they have missed the opportunity for many similar articles over the past 45 years...
>>we used to call the taiwanese students “Team Xerox”. ;-)
Yes, this didn’t start with mainland China.
Gee, if only they knew for certain that Biden was going to get elected in a couple of years, they wouldn’t have had to go through all that trouble trying to get secrets.
Back in the 70’s this happened to iranian students.
game over pack up and go home
