A Harvard professor was convicted of lying to US government authorities on Tuesday about his deep ties to the government of Communist China.
As The Hill reports:
Charles Lieber, chair of Harvard University’s Chemistry and Chemical Biology Department, was convicted on two counts of making false statements to federal authorities, two counts of failing to report foreign financial accounts with the IRS and two counts of making a false tax return.
Lieber was arrested in January of 2020 on Harvard’s campus and accused of failing to disclose foreign financial conflicts of interest when he received over $15,000 in grant funding from both the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Department of Defense (DoD).
According to authorities, Lieber became a “Strategic Scientist” at Wuhan University of Technology in 2011 and was also a contractual participant of China’s Thousand Talents Plan from 2012 to 2017. Harvard, which Lieber joined in 1991, was allegedly unaware of his work in China.
…
Lieber was charged under the “China Initiative,” which was started by the Trump administration in 2018 with the mission of finding “economic” Chinese spies in the U.S. The initiative has been criticized for targeting and promoting racial profiling against U.S. college professors of Asian descent — particularly those with Chinese heritage.
Stanford University professors asked earlier in the year for the ‘China Initiative’ over fears it engages in ‘racial profiling.’
Why cant Harvard open college in Beijing??
Why have they not convicted Joe and Hunter Biden for worse things with the CCP?
They pick and choose who to prosecute. Killery Clinton and the destroyed emails proves it
While it is typical for the dimocrat Chinese communist sympathisers to scream “racism!” against anything President Trump did, much less an initiative to protect American intellectual property rights Chinese spying, but this high profile case demonstrates it is clearly not targeting “Asian” people.
The loser what he deserved.
We had better start teating communist China as an enemy rather than just an economic “go to” entity, because it is pretty obvious that they are intent on destroying our country. At least it is obvious to anyone who has even a slight amount of intelligence and common sense. They are also being aided in that attempt by our own government, at this time.
Fire the Commie supporter
Why do any PATRIOTS send their children to Communist schools like Harvard anyway?
Sometimes Racial Profiling is necessary to keep our country safe.
Surprised NO, concern that it’s a created lie that’s tied to something else that’s democratic related? WHY YES…
So if a criminal is not white and arrested for a crime, it’s racial profiling and therefore, being a criminal is okay?
THIS parasite needs to be stripped of his credentials sent to China and live!!!
so you don’t look at a chinse person who could be a chinese spy… uhm, this shows what idiots people are… not that Lieber is of asian descent, but you look where the facts lead…
I can understand an affiliate of Harvard, a leftist school, being un-American, most liberal are!!
Let Harvard open in China. Can’t Ivy grow there. Chinese are smart and lie and cheat like Harvard and Princeton. Believe me. Regular colleges where my children went are very good and they are very intelligent and did not need to cheat.
This brand of charlatan should serve the maximum and never again be allowed to teach at an institution that receives one cent of taxpayer money or solicits money from the public. They’re little more than scum and should be scraped off the great American shoe.
This is an extremely high need for America to stop the theft of technological skills and information to the foreign powers so antithetical to the ideals and goals of a free world country – losses by the United States to China !!! Intellectual properties are of extremely high value not only financially, but even more so militarily – to the point of a vast hazard to the continuation of our existence as a free nation. The totalitarian nature of the government in China is already determined to end our dominance and invoke their own. It is showing up throughout our society, and around the world !!!
