A Professor from Texas A&M was arrested for concealing ties he had to the Chinese government while accepting federal grants. As tensions between the US and China rise and concerns over the influence the country has over American institutions grow, incidents like this are sure to add fuel to the fire. More from The Daily Caller:
Zhengdong Cheng, 53, was arrested Sunday and charged with conspiracy, making false statements and wire fraud after allegedly lying over the course of several years about his ties with Chinese-owned universities and companies while accepting NASA funding, the statement says.
Cheng allegedly led a team conducting research for NASA, which has funding terms that forbid affiliations with any Chinese-owned entities. Cheng is named as a professor in the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering at Texas A&M, as of Monday, and has two Chinese universities listed as his educational background prior to attending Princeton University. He is alleged to have hidden ties with Guangdong University in China, among others.
While accepting funds, Cheng allegedly had access to NASA resources like the International Space Station. He also participated in the People’s Republic of China Talents program, also known as the Thousand Talents Program, a Chinese-government talent recruitment program that in some cases has resulted in violations of U.S law, including espionage, theft of trade secrets and grant fraud and is designed to recruit high-level scientific talent to benefit China’s development and national security.
China has been taking a lot of hits recently over the ongoing accusations fo spying, data theft, and intellectual property theft. It has been no secret that China has used American institutions to steal American secrets, this has been an issue many have discussed over the past few years but it has taken new life due to the ongoing trade war and the Trump administration stepping in to remove Chinese software that is sending data back to China(This includes pas like TikTok and WeChat).
start with investigating some of these so called ” PROFESSORS ” and really see where their loyalty lies. I’m sure there are many that a liberal demo-communist. They seem to have a very HIGH opinion of themselves. Which is just opposite of my opinion of them.
We helped China rid itself of Japan and now we are back in 1939 all over again with Nukes pointed at us.
I don`t like China and if you see the people`s arrogance it`s time to dump them.
I`m tired of their scheit products. Obama gave them all of our countries patents. You have to ask yourself why did he do that? My guess is that Obama has money buried all around the world because of his backroom deals. So to China and Obama= SUCK ON END OF DIS IF YU THINK YO SO SMAHT
This is only the beginning we have recognized how liberal professors have become and it is just becoming evident that it is ties to China.
We have to cut our ties with China on trade, education, visitors, and workers and deport all chinese persons that are non citizens of the U.S. as they might be the cause of the virus spread and infection, and vett all chinese. We must do the same with all refugees as the potential of them being of terrorist and have access to food contamination a potential bio weapon of deadly deseases. Obama brought these refugees here not for the humanity program but to bring in foreigners with direct ties to the KSA and to be a fighting force. They have never been vetted and many have received jobs in food prep areas. Some have already tried to channel their terrorist ideas by kidnapping American children and teaching the at primary ages to kill other children, American children and to invade schools. All the refugees must be deported to their home of birth and all others not deported must be vetted for their affiliation to Sunni Islam and the isis and KSA the developer of isis along with Obama and terror groups in the middle east.We should investigate the KSA and their involvement with obama and the conspiracy to globalization and converting the U.S. to socialism with the dem party. We should also deport all south of the border caravan seekers of asylum for the last 5 years and vet all south of the border persons for affiliation with political acts associated with the dem party and with the conspiracy of socialism in the U.S. as they bring about a foreign threat to the Constitution and the safety of the SW.
So many acts of terrorism and organized development of rtots and destruction and lootings are not common in protest and smell of a violation of the rules of law and a conspiracy to socialism from the books of stalin and Tao quoted by the dem party and its leaders and brain washed and possible hypnotization to cause this mayhem and destruction. With the dems in power in certain cities and states they too are responsible for these acts of destruction, police defunding and police mis guidance and accused of any difficulty while the dems and terrorists riot for their cause. In no way is it a result of police brutality, only an excuse for their cause.
I wonder how many more of these “professors “ are tied to the Communist ? They all teach like they are !!
The professor should be indicted, tried and if found guilty, locked up, the key having been thrown away. That said, one wonders as to what sort of “deals” will or might be struck, and at whose expense.
He must give up his job and become an alley cat trainer.
