How does the US plan to avoid research falling into Chinese hands work?
The nominal goal is to keep people from running two labs, using US funding to develop ideas that then get teleported to the china lab for commercialization. The guys indicted so far were all running labs in China they didn't disclose.
Like charles lieber, who seems to have run a china lab.
It also looks like they're going after people for not filing fbars, which is kinda shitty since half the green card holders in the US are probably guilty of that.
Is this a real problem? Probably not. But it sounds good if you aren't an academic. Same way &quot;tough on crime&quot; always works.
