The chair of Harvard University’s chemistry department was arrested Tuesday on charges of allegedly lying to the U.S. about millions in Chinese funding he has received, in an escalation of U.S. efforts to counter what officials describe as Beijing’s aggressive recruitment at U.S. universities.

This guy is well known and perhaps the leading chemist out there

In 2011, Lieber was recognized by Thomson Reuters as the leading chemist in the world for the decade 2000-2010 based on the impact of his scientific publications.[

Some point last year we had a navy lieutenant arrested for espionage related shite in my area. They've escalated from just putting peepee in our coke.

I would guess most are.

He doesn't sound too Chinese-y to me.
However, the other two discussed here (non-paywall site) do.

We need to treat China like we treated the USSR. They are our main enemy now, let’s stop fricking around and letting their top officials’ children go to our best universities.

Absolutely, man. Stop Chinese immigration, and prevent the next Charles Lieber.

Friends,
Are we not in America where one of the great tenants of our civil life is "innocent until proven guilty"? To condemn him of guilt without trial by jury is to further America's lockstep march to authoritarian government. Not in my America, friends!
An interesting side note, Lieber is an American famous for cultivating an 1800 pound pumpkin!
Patriotically,

Personal Life
Since 2007 Lieber has grown giant pumpkins in his back yard in Lexington, MA.[73] In 2010 he won the annual weigh-off at Frerich's Farm in Rhode Island with a 1,610-lb pumpkin,[74] and returned in 2012 with a 1,770-lb pumpkin that won 2nd place in that year's weigh-off but set a Massachusetts record.[75] His 1,870-lb pumpkin in 2014 was named the largest pumpkin in Massachusetts and ranked 17th largest in the world that year.[75][76] The discrepancy between the size scales of his day job and hobby has been noted: “…on the one hand, Lieber’s chemistry “has had a defining influence on the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology,” according to his CV. On the other, his pumpkin could probably fill an entire Trader Joe's with pumpkin specialty products for the fall season.”[77]
On January 28, 2020, Lieber was arrested on charges of making false statements, and his house was raided by the FBI.[78]

Lieber did not disclose that he was being paid a salary of up to $50,000 per month and up to $158,000 per year in living expenses by China's Thousand Talents Plan and the Wuhan University of Technology.
Oww shite! It was him!
And/or, that city just can't catch a break this week.
Also...WUT? I wonder if their mascot is the "Wat Lady."

Classic sign of Chinese brainwashing.

I’d argue they did catch their break. Before the past month much of the world didn’t know anything about Wuhan. Now everyone knows the name. Once the coronavirus goes away we’ll still recognize the name. This is their big chance.
