Bad guys abusing the system. Sounds familiar.

Didn't some Rs fail to disclose funding from foreign sources? Didn't the NRA get Russian money? Did they report it? I honestly can't recall.

The Steele dossier received funding from the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton’s Presidential campaign. Remember?

Did the Clinton Foundation report those foreign source? I'm thinking they did. Harvard didn't, and that's why they are in trouble. Did Trump's foundation report anything? Nope, they were corrupt and so that's why the foundation went kaput and is now under investigation.

When it was reported that the CLintons illegal took Chinese money, they reported it then "patriotically" gave it back under the excuse of innocence. Remember?

The article says that this issue gained prominence after the arrest of a Harvard Chemistry Professor who didn't disclose the fact that he received funding from the Chinese government for a project that was being funded by the U.S. government.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/education-department-investigating-harvard-yale-over-foreign-funding-11581539042

The Education Department opened investigations into Harvard and Yale as part of a continuing review that it says has found U.S. universities failed to report at least $6.5 billion in foreign funding from countries such as China and Saudi Arabia, according to department materials viewed by The Wall Street Journal.

Horrific.

Did the NRA give back the Russian money when it was reported? I don't remember.

More arrests of professors for hiding payments from the Chinese government. Looks like the Harvard prof was just the tip of the iceberg.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/11/us/politics/professor-simon-ang-wire-fraud-china.html

One of the professors, Simon Ang of the University of Arkansas, was arrested on Friday and charged on Monday with wire fraud. He worked for and received funding from Chinese companies and from the Thousand Talents program, which awards grants to scientists to encourage relationships with the Chinese government, and he warned an associate to keep his affiliation with the program quiet, court papers said.
He kept the financial arrangements secret, allowing him to secure other grants from American government agencies, including NASA, that the Chinese funding made him ineligible for, according to court documents.
The other professor, Dr. Xiao-Jiang Li, a former professor at Emory University in Atlanta, pleaded guilty on Friday to a felony charge of filing a false tax return that omitted about $500,000 that he received from the Thousand Talents program. He was sentenced to a year of probation and ordered to pay $35,089 in restitution.

The Harvard professor has been indicted. He lied to investigators about participating in the program. $50,000 a month, plus $158,000 in expenses, plus $1.5 million for his lab? It would be easy to forget about that, I guess.

https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/harvard-university-professor-indicted-false-statement-charges



It is alleged that, unbeknownst to Harvard University, beginning in 2011, Lieber became a “Strategic Scientist” at Wuhan University of Technology (WUT) in China. He later became contractual participant in China’s Thousand Talents Plan from at least 2012 through 2015. China’s Thousand Talents Plan is one of the most prominent Chinese talent recruitment plans designed to attract, recruit, and cultivate high-level scientific talent in furtherance of China’s scientific development, economic prosperity and national security. According to court documents, these talent recruitment plans seek to lure Chinese overseas talent and foreign experts to bring their knowledge and experience to China, and they often reward individuals for stealing proprietary information. Under the terms of Lieber’s three-year Thousand Talents contract, WUT allegedly paid Lieber a salary of up to $50,000 USD per month, living expenses of up to 1 million Chinese Yuan (approximately $158,000 USD at the time) and awarded him more than $1.5 million to establish a research lab at WUT. In return, Lieber was obligated to work for WUT “not less than nine months a year” by “declaring international cooperation projects, cultivating young teachers and Ph.D. students, organizing international conference[s], applying for patents and publishing articles in the name of [WUT].”

Then there’s this from NIH. Fifty-four scientists for taking undisclosed $$ from the Chinese government.

This professor went to trial and was found guilty.
