The Department of Justice announced today that the Chair of Harvard University’s Chemistry and Chemical Biology Department and two Chinese nationals have been charged in connection with aiding the People’s Republic of China. justice.gov/opa/pr/harvard… justice.gov/opa/pr/harvard…
According to court docs, since 2008, Dr. Lieber-Principal Investigator of the Lieber Research Group at Harvard, which specialized in the area of nanoscience-has rec'd more than $15,000,000 in grant funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) & Dept of Defense (DOD).
In 2011, Lieber became a “Strategic Scientist” at Wuhan University of Technology (WUT) in China. WUT paid Lieber $50,000 USD/month, living expenses of up to 1,000,000 Chinese Yuan (approx. $158,000 USD) & awarded him more than $1.5 million to establish a research lab at WUT.
Then came the LIES: The complaint alleges that in 2018 and 2019, Lieber lied about his involvement in the Thousand Talents Plan and affiliation with WUT. Then he got Harvard to lie to the NIH, when they came snooping around.
Zaosong Zheng, 30, a Chinese national, was arrested on Dec. 10, 2019, at Boston’s Logan International Airport & charged with attempting to smuggle 21 vials of biological research to China. On Jan. 21, 2020, Zheng was indicted and he has been detained since Dec. 30, 2019.
Yanqing Ye, posing as a student at BU’s Dept. of Physics, Chemistry & Biomedical Engineering Oct. 2017-April 2019, cont'd to work as a PLA Lt. completing assignments from PLA officers such as research, assessing U.S. military websites & sending U.S. documents & info to China.
Yanqing Ye, 29, a Chinese national, was charged in an indictment today with one count each of visa fraud, making false statements, acting as an agent of a foreign government and conspiracy. Ye is currently in China. #ChiSpy
Lieber won an award: "The Welch Foundation is honored to announce the 2019 Robert A. Welch Award in Chemistry recipients as Dr. Armand Paul Alivisatos and Dr. Charles M. Lieber." Monetary amt. of $500,000 to be shared.

Dr. Charles Lieber, who’s the Chair of Harvard University’s Chemistry & Chemical Biology Dept, & Yanqing Ye & Zaosong Zheng, both nationals of #China, were charged with aiding the CCP/China.

OMG! Lieber was also a “Strategic Scientist” at #Wuhan University of Technology.
Even worse, this is all related to this arrest in December, except the DOJ spelled the name differently.

Zaosong Zheng was the one arrested at Boston Airport last month for trying to smuggle biological material back to China!

Zaosong Zheng was charged with attempting to smuggle 21 vials of biological research and making false statements.

Head of Harvard U’s Chemistry/Chemical Biology Dept and Two Chinese Nationals Charged in Connection with Aiding China-

Leiber Research Group led by Dr. Charles Leiber at Harvard specializes in Nanoscience has received over $15M in grant from the NIH & DOD justice.gov/opa/pr/harvard…
These grants require disclosure of foreign financial conflicts of interest including financial support from foreign governments. Unbeknownst to Harvard U beginning in 2011, Leiber became a “strategic scientist” at WUHAN University of Technology (😱)-a Thousand Talents Plan. ‼️
Under the term of Leiber’s 3-Year Thousand Talents contract, Wuhan U paid him $50K a month, living expense up to $158K & awarded him over $1.5M to establish research lab in Wuhan.

So the ChiCom parasites spent less than $4M to steal research results worth over $15M! 🤬
