🚨 Why are researchers from Chinese Communist Party-run institutions advising the Fed?
Researchers from communist institutions with histories of espionage are listed as co-authors on papers with Fed employees.
Are taxpayers subsidizing this?
A paper presented as part of the Fed’s 2020 Finance and Economics Discussion Series was co-authored by John Rogers and Wenbin Wu.
Rogers was ultimately indicated for spying on behalf of China.
A 2016 paper featuring Fed Governor Justin Pierce - “Does Trade Liberalization with China Influence U.S.
Elections?” - included a researcher from Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
This CCP university was flagged by the Senate for espionage against the US.
Another paper advising the San Francisco Fed included researchers from Shanghai Jiao Tong University.
This CCP university was flagged by the Senate for espionage against the US.
A researcher from the St. Louis Fed and Shanghai Jiao Tong University also co-authored a report on the 2008 financial crash.
The St. Louis Fed also hosted a conference on debt at their HQ, inviting a researcher working on behalf of the CCP-run Fudan University.
Fudan has a track record of trying to steal data from the Fed.
A cursory search of publicly available resume shows many people currently working as Fed advisors and researchers despite being educated at/having worked at CCP institutions flagged for espionage.
