The FBI has long warned that China could use talent-recruitment programs to lure U.S. university professors into improperly sharing their research
A Chinese government official and his allies allegedly tried to convince at least seven U.S. universities to sponsor visas for purported Chinese research scholars who in reality aimed to recruit American science talent, according to a recently unsealed criminal complaint filed by the Justice Department. They succeeded at least once, the complaint says.
The Wall Street Journal has identified two of the targeted institutions as the University of Georgia and the University of Massachusetts Boston.
