Another Chinese scientist — from Wuhan — charged with smuggling illegal biological material into US

A Chinese researcher allegedly tried to smuggle biological materials into the US from Wuhan and lied to the feds about the secretive scheme.

Chengxuan Han was arrested Sunday after landing at the Detroit Metropolitan airport on a flight from Shanghai, according to charging documents. She was charged with smuggling goods into the US and making false statements.

Han is the third Chinese scientist to be accused of smuggling biological materials into Michigan in recent weeks.

Upon Han’s arrival to the US, border officers discovered Han sent four packages that “contained biological material related to round worms” from China, according to court documents.

The packages, which were sent in both 2024 and 2025, were addressed to individuals associated with a laboratory at the University of Michigan.

However, Han lied to officers and said she didn’t send packages to members of the Michigan lab, according to court documents. She also claimed the packages contained plastic cups, rather than petri dishes.

When the FBI and Homeland Security Investigations grilled Han, she admitted to shipping the biological materials to the lab from her research as a Ph.D. student from the College of Life Science and Technology in the Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) in Wuhan, according to court documents.

“An offer letter from the University of Michigan stated that Han was invited to be a visiting scholar at the lab.”

DHS needs to pay a visit to UM.

My take on this is more prosaic, given what I have seen from other Chinese researchers here.

These people are often funded by US Government, at state University labs.

While they are getting funded by the US, with little oversight or accountability, they also do work for themselves or companies in China, creating advances and patents they will ship back to China in hopes of making big $$.

Deport them all.

Put them on a Chinese shipping container and send them BACK. Anyone who complains gets a seat right beside them.

Their loyalty will ONLY be to China.

Oh, and shut down that Chinese gated community they started when BO was in office in the midwest that Rush talked about and send them back as well.

“DHS needs to pay a visit to UM.”

Why that would be “Interfering in the Internal Affairs of an Institute of Higher Learning.” Cannot do that, if you’re Trump.

When a nation becomes so completely and utterly stupid, by allowing the Chinese free rein in the country, then this nation will cease to exist.

A top Chinese general has already stated that the plan to get rid of the American nation is to kill the population with biologicals. They don’t want to destroy anything pertaining to the nation. Just move in and re-populate with Chinese — the superior race.

Agreed. But first, infect them with the crap that they were preparing for us.

A reminder of the story of the illegal Chinese biolab in California with Ebola, Hep, HIV, malaria etc that went down the memory hole -— and which Biden’s CDC helped cover up.

I’m more concerned with the packages that likely made it through undetected.

A few years back, I did electro-magnetic interference testing (EMI) for a renowned lighting manufacturer. We did this to comply with FCC regulations regarding fixture emitted “noise” that may corrupt FM and AM radio signals (and other media) coming into your home and perhaps corrupting something like a pacemaker signal.

The FCC regs were/are strict. The company I worked for set up quite the up-to-date lab with super cool test equipment.

The company was in bed with cheap Chinese made fixture power supplies, and often I was told to set aside my testing schedule and allow a group of Chinese engineers to take over my lab to do their own EMI testing.

Few things in my life have lit me up more than letting these parasites into my space. Adding to the insult was my assisting them interpreting the test results on my big $$$ frequency spectrum ananalyzer. Grrrrrr...

The group leader was a Chinese gal. My spidey sense told me this whole deal was nothing but espionage. She really set off my “no good” radar.

Heard later on she was banned from the building premises. Hmmmm...ya think?

I always go with my farm boy, muddy boots onstinct.

The Chinese military is practicing biological warfare in the United States. Xi is not your friend, the CCP members who own nearly all the businesses in China are not your friend.

COVID, theft of American intellectual property, smuggling biological agents to cripple our food supply, fentanyl, buying land near our military bases, sending thousands of sleeper agents across our southern border.
