The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and other federal agencies have failed to prevent China from openly recruiting American scientific experts in exchange for payment and perks. This, according to Judicial Watch.
The Judicial Watch story relies on a report published by the Senate Homeland Security Committee. According to Judicial Watch, This report exposes how American taxpayer funded research has contributed to Chinas global rise over the last 20 years.
The U.S. Senate report says the U.S. taxpayers spend over $150 billion a year on scientific research. Most of the federal agencies conducting this research have been impacted by the Chinese infiltration efforts, according to the story.
In 2008, the Chinese government announced its plan to recruit top overseas researchers and to eventually bring their talents and expertise to China to benefit the government. Despite Chinas public declaration of its intentions, the FBI took nearly ten years to recognize that Chinese government talent programs posed a threat to the U.S. academic community and federal research grants.

Several examples of alleged Chinese theft involve national security information, such as that related to U.S. military jet engines.

I believe China has the most fully automated ports, starting several years ago.
We know, we know. Now what to do about it?
Amen!
I would have said trillions.

“And not just what we might think of as science “
You are correct. In the recent past I met a visiting Chinese scholar at a local university. Her visit was for one year everything paid by her government. Her “studies” here were to “translate” certain books in her field of study into Chinese. Decades ago, the few fellow Chinese classmates in grad school had the same textbooks as mine, except theirs were counterfeit English language copies, missing only the title page and printed on cheaper paper. Where I paid ~$50 for one, they paid $3.
have that problem right now with a medical book used in practice.
People on Amazon and elsewhere realize it is a knockoff.
Good grief. That is yet another angle I have never even thought of. If the Chinese are willing to counterfeit silver dollars and now pre-65 half dollars and quarters to make three and four and ten dollars.....surely they are willing to counterfeit $350 of textbooks.
I think its the publishers doing this not the government. I could be wrong. My son used the same book for 3 semesters of calculus. Book cost in US about 400. In china about 35. Front/back cover is in Chinese but the rest of the book is the same as US version. It stated on the book not for export. eBay export lol.
