Charles Lieber was found guilty of making false statements to authorities, filing false tax returns and failing to report a Chinese bank account. His sentencing date is yet to be decided. The 62-year-old was charged in 2020 as part of a US campaign to counter economic espionage from China.


quote:

Lieber knowingly hid his involvement in China's "Thousand Talents Plan", which aims to attract foreign research specialists. It has been flagged by the US as a security concern in the past. Lieber, a former head of Harvard's department of chemistry and chemical biology, had in 2011 joined China's Wuhan University of Technology as a scientist. He was given a monthly salary of $50,000 (£37,000), in addition to living expenses of up to $158,000 for this role.

If he’s just over there doing scientific stuff, then why lie and hide docs from the feds?

That guy was a HUGE name in the chemistry field. It can not be overstated how big a blow this is to American industry for future R&d

This should have been the first sign. Anyone growing 1500 lb pumpkins is doing something shady

This was a story that hit bg and a month later when Coronavirus started up, was mysteriously ignored, despite the obvious connection being so obvious.
