Apparently, the Communist Party of China has set up a little program, One Thousand Talent, where it provides financial assistance to university professors and researchers around the world to share information. Several companies in the Communist regime are also providing financial assistance to international researchers.

However, part of the problem is that in order for professors and researchers based in the US to receive grants from US agencies, such as NASA, they are not allowed to receive financial assistance from Communist China or any companies located in that country.

The FBI alleges that some of these professors/researchers concealed their financial ties to Communist China when receiving grants from US agencies.

The Daily Wire writes:

Federal law enforcement officials arrested a professor at the University of Arkansas for allegedly concealing his involvement in a program that the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) uses to steal intellectual property from U.S. institutions.

“Simon Ang of the University of Arkansas, was arrested on Friday and charged on Monday with wire fraud,” The New York Times reported. “He worked for and received funding from Chinese companies and from the Thousand Talents program, which awards grants to scientists to encourage relationships with the Chinese government, and he warned an associate to keep his affiliation with the program quiet.”

The Times reported that Ang’s alleged concealment of his financial agreement with the Chinese allowed him to secure funding from U.S. government agencies that ban people who receive funding from China.
