Chinese students with CCP membership, military links ‘infiltrate’ U.S. universities, watchdog says

Chinese students and scientists who are members of the Chinese Communist Party, attended schools tied to the Chinese military or worked with companies connected to Beijing's theft of U.S. technology have “infiltrated” several top American universities, according to a watchdog group report that raises fresh concerns about America's vulnerabilities to its most fierce adversary.

A conservative non-profit oversight group, the American Accountability Foundation, reported that it found nearly two dozen Chinese academics working at elite U.S. schools and labs “who because of the dual-use threat of their research, close ties to the military research sector in China, and/or clear ties to the Chinese Communist Party should be expelled from the United States or never be re-admitted."

The research document — titled "Chinese Scientist Infiltration Threat Assessments " — says that Chinese students working at some of America’s top colleges, often receiving U.S. federal funding (some of it from the Pentagon) to conduct research into advanced technologies have troubling backgrounds which could pose a risk to U.S. national security.

China hasn't had an original idea since it began suspecting Genghis Khan of being an ethnic Mongolian.

They aren’t Chinese students. They are Chinese spies pretending to be students as their cover.

Exactly. You don’t get out of Communist China without a membership with the party or a family member who is, and are held hostage so you come back if you get funny ideas of asylum. You are in the West to get as much information and technology as possible to aid Mother China. They’re paying full freight for your college education at the best universities in the world. And when you graduate, you get employed by the same universities and/or Fortune 500 companies to continue your steal. This isn’t hard to understand at all. It’s their thing.

"Chinese students with CCP membership, military links ‘infiltrate’ U.S. universities, watchdog says"

...... Well, this is actually nothing new .... Because any Chinese National living, working, or studying in the US are basically Sleeper Moles compelled under the "Chinese National Intelligence Law" which states that all organizations and citizens shall .... "Support, Assist, and Cooperate with Chinese national intelligence efforts."

Sure and I was counter-protesting some protesters at the military air show a long time ago with my standard sign I used. I noticed a group of about 20-25 young Chinese all talking and taking photos of me. I spoke to one.

"Are you guys from Red China?" One said yes, they were students.

"Oh, here to spy on our public military display, I see."
No answer, but more clicking of cameras photographing me before heading on in to the military base's open house. I recommended they read Mao: The Unknown Story, by Jon Halliday and Jung Chang. Pretty sure I'm in their files.

Well, this is true, as I knew a different Chinese military lawyers at two different universities I attended.

I even ate with them at their apartments. One had his wife with him.
