A group of more than 150 professors from Stanford University signed an open letter to U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland last week asking that he get rid of the Department of Justice's (DOJ) "China Initiative" which was started by former Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

While acknowledging that is important for the U.S. to address concerns of intellectual property theft and economic espionage, the Stanford educators wrote in their letter that the program has since "deviated significantly from its claimed mission."

The professors stated that the China initiative is "harming the United States’ research and technology competitiveness and it is fueling biases that, in turn, raise concerns about racial profiling."

They pointed out that the program disproportionately targets researchers with Chinese origins, choosing to investigate them not based on evidence, but simply for having a connection to China.

The program was started in 2018 to combat Chinese espionage, but has since been criticized for investigating Asian individuals falsely accused of committing crimes.

Are ChiFi's potential pallbearers getting nervous?

Sounds like they successfully turned up a few too many people who were stealing shite for China.

Stanford is already biased against Asians for admittance standards favoring blacks with much lower scores.

This, if only to find which elected officials wanted the petition done, to get it in the media, to then have the "public outcry" to end it.

It's literally the same shite sports and hollywood talent agents have been doing for years:

- "XYZ actor interested in ABC role."
- "XYZ actor reportedly not interested in role"
- "XYZ actor takes role after being contacted by studio"

Chinese spies are probably some of their best students.

Yet they racially bias against Asians during the admittance process.

Sounds legit.
