16 Aug 2017: Washington Times: China’s $360 million gift to Harvard
by Bill Gertz
Anders Corr, a former government analyst who specializes in foreign influence operations, stated in a letter to Vice President Mike Pence that a Chinese military-linked company, JT Capital, gave $10 million to Harvard in 2014, the same year the family of Ronnie Chan, a Hong Kong real estate mogul with ties to China, announced it is giving $350 million to the university. Both donations were “relatively opaque” and raise questions about the purpose of the funds, he said.
Mr. Corr, who received an international relations doctorate from Harvard in 2008, said the Chinese donations appear to be an attempt to introduce biases among the university’s professors in a bid to influence U.S. policy or public opinion in China’s favor...

“Allowing such donations does not appear to be in U.S. national security interests, and it does not appear to be necessary for Harvard’s research and teaching (it already has an endowment of $36.7 billion),” he said. “Perhaps there should be legislation against Chinese-linked money in U.S. politics, including think tanks and universities.”

The U.S. government gave Harvard $600 million in 2016, and over the years has provided billions of dollars for research and education, he noted.

Mr. Corr then asked the vice president, who met recently with Harvard President Drew Faust, to look into whether the China-linked donations violate U.S. foreign agents’ registration laws, and whether Harvard may be providing valuable U.S. technology to China in exchange. The $350 million donation also should be examined by the Treasury Department-led Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States, known as CFIUS...

25 Dec 2019: Euraia Review: China’s Incentive To Pollute: Global Warming Is Big Business – OpEd
by Ander Corr
China is the biggest current cause of global warming, and it will profit handsomely and perversely by global attempts to limit that warming through clean energy manufactures imported from China. China’s green energy industry is exporting tens of billions of dollars annually, and creating hundreds of thousands of new jobs to stabilize its autocratic regime...

For example, China manufactures approximately two-thirds of the solar cells installed globally. In 2019, China’s solar component exports are expected to reach $20 billion, 25 percent greater than in 2018. China’s solar export sales to Europe accounted for 34.9 percent of the country’s total solar exports in the first three quarters of 2019.

Global warming is clearly big business for China.
By encouraging new emissions-heavy industries like coal power plants at home, China simultaneously expands its domestic economy while forcing the world towards the need to buy clean energy solutions like solar panels, wind turbines, hydroelectric dams, and nuclear power plants, all of which China is ready to provide for a fee...
