More than 500 federally funded scientists are under investigation for being compromised by China and other foreign powers, the National Institutes of Health revealed Thursday.
The federal health officials told a Senate committee that they are fighting to keep up with large-scale Chinese efforts to corrupt American researchers and steal intellectual property that scientists hope will lead to biomedical advances.
NIH has contacted more than 90 institutions about more than 200 scientists they’re concerned about, said Dr. Michael S. Lauer, NIH deputy director for extramural research. But the investigations’ workload is weighing down the nation’s top medical research agency, and new cases are turning up constantly across the government.
The Justice Department charged a math professor and university researcher, Mingqing Xiao, on Wednesday with wire fraud over allegations that he hid his Chinese government funding while obtaining funding from the National Science Foundation.
The Southern Illinois University-Carbondale professor, Mingqing Xiao, worked in the mathematics department since 2000 and obtained the Chinese funding starting in 2018, the Justice Department said.
China has targeted research throughout the economy from corn growers to cancer researchers. Last year, Dr. Lauer said, more than 90% of the scientists under investigation had received support from China.
Gary Cantrell, Health and Human Services Department deputy inspector general for investigations, cited the example of researcher Song Guo Zheng, who is awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty last year to lying on applications for NIH grants totaling $4.1 million that he admitted were used to enhance Chinese expertise in rheumatology and immunology.
U.S. officials also have sounded the alarm that China has tried to hack COVID-19 research and is intent on pilfering U.S. science and technology because it believes American innovation will enable it to overtake the U.S. as a global superpower.

Is Fauxcy the #1 Wanted?
If they are Chinese / Chinese descent good chance they are dirty. Spit
China is buying our politicians, scientists and press.
Our lawyers are trying to figure out if they can sue China for not bribing them.
If they have relatives in China the scientists are sealing information to send it to China. Relatives in China are hostages to performance in America and Europe.
This would be real simple to stop, if we had the will to do it.
If you compromise US technology you hang.
This country use to be tough...........
Not anymore......
Maybe this is why the Deep State has spent so much time distracting us with Russia collusion and the COVID plandemic. They didn’t want us to notice the extent of China’s reach into all sectors of our government!
That and tariffs go up 5% on China each and every time.
“you like these pictures we took, round eye? You help chinee science, yes?”
Pretty sure if China catches anyone doing what they are doing to us, your
gonna end up with much more than a slap on the wrist and a fine.
No Shiite.
Instead of hiring qualified Americans for these jobs, businesses, universities and the government preferred this foreign trash from Communist China and India.
They aren’t trash. They are they best and brightest chinese spys. India may be a different story.
*** This country use to be tough......***
Don’t kid yourself. This has been going on for a long, LONG time. Back in the early 80’s there was a visiting Ph.D. from Red China in the lab I worked in. Nobody, not one of us, trusted this jerk.
We all knew and understood what was going on back then.
In research and technology, this has been the status quo for a stupidly long amount of time.
Nazi scientists are a big reason the USA won the race to the moon after we secretly brought them into this country under new identities.
Check out Operation Paperclip.
The government has been corrupt for as long as it’s existed.
By the time it was done (under the treasonous subhuman scum Clinton who also sold MIRV guidance technology to Red China) the guy had sued, and IIRC, won, for "racial discrimination."
I’m shocked that the Washington Times actually committed journalism!
FDR was right but got the wrong Country?
The Times can be pretty good ... the Post is the one to be very leery of ...
Washington Times is not the Washington Post
