Many people have been “so blind to this menace” of the Communist Party of China, which is an aggressive dictatorship that is already bullying Australia says Sky News host Andrew Bolt.
“So many people have been so blind to this menace," Mr Bolt said. He said there are people, particularly businessman, who are "running around" with the idea China could make them rich. "It could also make us slaves,” he said.
The program obliges its recruits to abide by Chinese law and religious practice and requires their inventions be patented in China, but offered recruits profitable salaries and additional perks. Mr Bolt said the report was "astonishing". Ms Markson said the Thousand Talents Plan was a way of getting access "to the best advancements, technological advancements, whatever field it's in, from around the world".

China's Thousand Talents Plan 'stealing' leading Aussie scientists | Sky News AustraliaThe Australian Strategic Policy Institute's Michael Shoebridge spoke with Sky News about China’s so called ‘Thousand Talents Plan’ which he claimed targeted universities in a bid to increase the influence wielded by the communist party over research hubs.\n\nThe Australian investigated China’s Thousand Talents Plan and described it as an initiative which seeks to recruit “leading Australian scientists for a secretive research program that offers lucrative salaries and perks but requires their inventions to be patented in China and obliges them to abide by Chinese law”.\n\nMr Shoebridge said similar situations were playing out in Australia and the United State where there was “one case where someone was receiving $50,000 dollars a month to work with the Chinese and not disclose it”.\n\n“The pattern of behaviour around this talent recruitment, and participants … not coming clean with their home universities is pretty clear”. \n\nThose who refuse to be transparent about their connections to the scheme should be penalised, he said.\n\nMr Shoebridge suggested a motivation for the Chinese government could be to siphon information concerning coronavirus vaccine research in order to develop a cure.\n\n“Having inflicted the pandemic upon the world, the Chinese government needs to rehabilitate its reputation and there’s no better way to do that than show they’ve succeeded with the vaccine”.\n\n“Stealing the best research from the University of Queensland or small start-ups in South Australia is exactly what they would want to do”.\n
