More than 500 U.S. federally funded scientists have been flagged over their financial ties with China and other foreign adversaries, the National Institutes of Health has revealed.
As of April, the federal health agency has reached out to 90 institutions that receive government grants regarding 200 researchers. It has also removed 100 from the “NIH ecosystem” through resignation, termination, premature retirements, or internal departments, according to Michael Lauer, deputy director for extramural research at the NIH.
Lauer said that the biggest challenge is simply “the workload of dealing with a very large number of cases.”
“Each of these requires a tremendous amount of work to figure out what exactly has been happening and to work carefully with the institution to figure out what’s been going on,” he said at an April 22 Senate committee hearing that focused on keeping out Chinese efforts to exploit U.S. biomedical research advances.
One scenario that Lauer highlighted is when scientists have a laboratory set up in China to do the same work for the Chinese government that the U.S. taxpayers are funding.
In others, the researchers may have a business in China leveraging findings from the NIH-sponsored research—which is “a clear conflict of interest.” A third, according to Lauer, is where scientists claim to be dedicating 100 percent of their time “when in fact they are spending 50 to 60 percent of their time in China.”
“So they are lying about how they’re spending their time, and that kind of a blatant lie affects the credibility and the integrity of the entire enterprise,” Lauer said.
The Justice Department has opened cases against dozens of researchers in a bid to cut down the influx of concerted Chinese theft of U.S. intellectual property.

Outsourcing the research to the USA and then reaping the benefits.
Its a parasitic relationship.
Fauci didn’t make this list?
How scientists are compromised by the US government? If you produce a study supporting more government control, such as global warming, you will receive more grant money. If you don’t it dries up.

The bought and paid for, by Chinese money, Biden Justice Department? Yeah, right. I am sure they will get right on it.

Hundreds of US “reporters” are most likely on the China payroll. When you lose the press to foreigners, then you can lose the country.
The CCP also has bought America’s political class, judicial system, the media, and financial and manufacturing engines.
the tech sector has been infiltrated by the chinese for years
in the last 10+ years, they’ve been buying tech companies
my specialty has been high performance communications. realizing this could be of strategic value, i reached out to the FBI to ask whether or not a particular company whose parent company is tencent (chinese owned) would be a problem.
they didn’t care.
that’s concerning
Su-prise, su-prise! Who knew?
Politicians can be bought, but somehow we’re to believe “scientists” are never for sale? It’s too often just a question of “how much?”...
Want a “scientific” paper or study to support the “need” for your pet legislation? You’ll find a whore...err...”scientist” who can cook the data and working backwards get to the “proof” you need...
