More than 1,000 Chinese military-linked researchers have left the United States since authorities arrested several suspected undercover Chinese military officers over the summer, according to a senior Justice Department official.
Earlier this year, at least four Chinese researchers were arrested and charged with visa fraud for allegedly lying on their applications about their status as members of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), the official name of the Chinese military. One of those researchers was harbored by the Chinese consulate in San Francisco for weeks before he was eventually arrested in late July.
A Chinese visiting student also was indicted on similar charges in January.
John C. Demers, assistant attorney general for national security, said those arrests “were just the tip of the iceberg,” leading to an investigation that uncovered a vast network of suspected undercover PLA researchers across the country.
“Between those … arrests, between the dozens of interviews that the bureau [FBI] did with other individuals who were here in similar circumstances, and then, ultimately, the closure of the Houston consulate to disrupt both foreign influence activity and economic espionage activity, more than 1,000 PLA-affiliated Chinese researchers left the country,” Demers said during a virtual discussion at the Aspen Cyber Summit on Dec. 2.
“They were part of a Chinese government effort to send these individuals here, and to send them here without disclosing their identity.”
In response to the arrests and investigations by U.S. authorities, the Chinese regime instructed the researchers to continue hiding their PLA connections, Demers said.
Court documents filed in July said that the regime was instructing the PLA-linked students to destroy evidence and was coordinating efforts to evacuate them from the United States, after it realized that U.S. authorities were closing in.

Excellent 23 minute interview with China expert Rick Fisher. If short on time,run out to 17 min. mark and you will understand WHY it’s vital that we have a strong America first POTUS. We will deeply regret turning OUR government over to a paid Chinese suck-up Biden MALadministration. We may never recover from the damage Biden/Harris will do...especially if the Democrats take the Senate. Georgia..you LISTENING??
They’ll be back...
they have an army here..
“they have an army here..“
Heh...in a couple of months Biden will make the U.S. Army their army too.
Trump has done a phenomenal job.
If Biden gets it, it’ll be bring back better.
1,000 Chinese ‘researchers’ were here? Who let them in, and how many still are here?
So who are the Americans clearing them that are being accountable? (Or not clearing them properly?)
If Biden wins, they will be back, in spades.

“William Evanina, chief of the counterintelligence branch of the office of the U.S. Director of National Intelligence, told the same event Chinese agents were already targeting personnel of the incoming administration of President-elect Joe Biden, as well as “people close” to Biden’s team.
He did not elaborate.”
Right after they voted for Comrade Biden...
The Chinese are like locusts!
Were they frisked before leaving?
Well I would say 90% of the fairly large student body was Chinese or Asian of some sort.
I went back last week for a follow up and exam. I didn’t see one Asian student. It was very weird.
