"A post-doctoral researcher at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center is accused of stealing research funded by the U.S. government and attempting to take it back to his native China.

Charging documents state Dr. Yunhai Li joined MD Anderson through a U.S. Department of State research exchange scholar visa in 2022. His employment made him an employee of the State of Texas.

Charging documents contain what investigators say is a sworn legal statement written by Li. In the statement, Li wrote that he was working at MD Anderson on a vaccine to prevent breast cancer from metastasizing.

When the project was approximately 70% finished, Li said he had taken up to 90 GB of research. When confronted by hospital officials, Li said he worked to convince them that he had permanently deleted the material while concealing it through a China-based cloud company."

" Multiple U.S. entities, including the Department of Defense and the National Institute of Health, have federally funded Li's research…"

This wouldn't be a problem if we just forbade their entry, residence and employment in the US.

Yeah, with Trump agreeing to 600k, I don't think that will fly.

And most academics are absolutely the worst personalities to realize this is going on. Real problem that extends to all the sciences and engineers, not just medical.

It amazes me how naive we are as a nation. Truly stupid.

Impossibru!!!

The only Chinese we should be allowing to come here are those living in Taiwan.

Anyone coming here from the PRC should automatically be considered to be working for Chinese Intel.

Yeah, I'm not going to get exceptionally worked up over a medical breakthrough or medical research (the humanity part of me wants' good medical for all of the world).

BUT!!!

If it's happening in Medicine, then YES it's happening in other fields as well. It's happening in far more sensitive fields that have serious impacts on US security

He should be executed.

We should not allow foreign nationals from countries known to steal intellectual property to work in fields where we're developing stuff they want to steal. Just saying.

The other big problem nobody talks about beyond all the theft of IP is the chinese and other foreign students on visas take out student loans and when their education is complete they take off back to their home countries and don't pay back a damn nickel. this needs to stop. and trump is damn wrong on the 600k. American universities need to take in as many American students as possible and then if there is any room left they can consider admitting foreign nationals.

I tend to believe that there's an understanding that they are going to spy and/or steal intellectual material before the PRC government would even let them come here.

in a communist controlled government every single person of the 600k has take an oath to spy and work for the chinese government before they step foot outside of that country. how does anyone not know this and willingly let them in.


who needs a trojan horse when people open the gates

People don't understand the culture or the CCP. You will never be "Chinese American" if you were born over there. The CCP will do whatever it takes and openly talks about it with their plans. Meanwhile, we announce and do stupid things constantly that help them get ahead. That includes the US companies that believe they can be the exception to the rule like Apple or Tesla...
