The Biden administration is bankrolling a University of Virginia partnership with a Chinese university with strong ties to the country's military, records show.
The National Science Foundation, a federal agency with an over $10.91 billion taxpayer-backed budget in 2023, awarded over $130,500 in October 2022 to the University of Virginia for a climate change research project alongside Tsinghua University, according to federal grant records. That same public Beijing-based university is funded by China's Ministry of Education and researches for the country's military.
"An important part of researching global challenges like climate change is working with institutions around the world to compare the effects of a warming climate and the efficacy of different proposed solutions," UVA spokesman Brian Coy told the Washington Free Beacon, which on Thursday first reported on the grant. "As part of those efforts, we take seriously our responsibility to operate within all U.S. laws and regulations regarding the protection of intellectual property and U.S. national security interests."
Tsinghua University — which was attended by President Xi Jinping — has a CCP Committee that meets regularly to discuss party goals and tries to keep the school "in accordance with President Xi's hopes," according to its website. The university is supervised by China's State Administration of Science, Technology, and Industry for National Defense, according to the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, a think tank that has said Tsinghua has carried out cyberattacks on behalf of China's government and trained students on nuclear weapons.

Our taxpayer-funded colleges and universities are still massively in bed with China. They’re hooked on full tuition from largely marginal students who haven’t mastered English.
Biden will only help the Chinese he took the bait that he and his party will be in on the one world central committee when it happens.
It’s fool like him that get people killed
NEVER TRUST A DEMOCRAT
We should terminate all student and work visas for mainland Chinese. Should have done that yesterday.
.....The National Science Foundation (NSF).....
NSF has come down several notches since it awarded our research group a grant to research cancer immunotherapy.
An obvious security risk. A risk enabled by American liberal fantasies about tribe and culture.
