Couple Pleads Guilty to Stealing Children’s Hospital Trade Secrets for China

A Chinese woman and her husband pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court on Thursday to conspiring to sell scientific trade secrets to the Chinese government and to wire fraud focused on research, identification, and treatment of a wide range of pediatric medical conditions.

Li Chen, 46, and her husband, Yu Zhou, 49, made the plea via video conference. The couple both worked at the National Children’s Hospital’s Research Institute in Columbus, Ohio, for a decade before being arrested in California in July 2019. The case was unsealed in August 2019 when they appeared in federal court in Ohio.

“Chen admitted to stealing scientific trade secrets related to exosomes and exosome isolation from Nationwide Children’s Hospital’s Research Institute for her own personal financial gain,” the Department of Justice press release on the case said. “They are charged with conspiring to steal at least five trade secrets related to exosome research from Nationwide Children’s Hospital.”

“Exosomes play a key role in the research, identification, and treatment of a range of medical conditions, including necrotizing enterocolitis (a condition found in premature babies), liver fibrosis and liver cancer,” the press release said.

“Once again we see the People’s Republic of China (PRC) facilitating the theft of our nation’s ingenuity and hard work as part of their quest to rob, replicate and replace any product they don’t have the ability to develop themselves,” said John C. Demers, the assistant attorney general for national security. “Far from being an isolated incident, we see the PRC implicated in around 60 percent of all trade secret theft cases. This continued economic belligerence runs contrary to the values and norms that facilitate the success of our industries and countering it remains among our highest priorities.”

Great question and I don’t have an answer. I just think the writing is starting to be written on the wall that a showdown is brewing in the future. Hopefully the US has someone like Winston Churchill who can see the growing military threat China poses.

Let's hope we don't have a Churchill making military decisions.

Yep. We just need someone who can actually see China as the threat they are. People have to look past our economic relationship with them and realize that they have true ambitions about taking over Asia, and possibly, the world.

NYT Quietly Scrubs Chinese Propaganda

U.S. newspapers collected millions from Beijing to publish propaganda

The New York Times quietly deleted hundreds of advertorials that the Chinese Communist Party paid to publish on its website.

A Times spokeswoman told the Washington Free Beacon that the move is a reflection of a decision to stop accepting ads from state-run media. "We made the decision at the beginning of this year to stop accepting branded content ads from state run media, which includes China Daily," she said.

The Times‘s decision to end its partnership with China Daily is part of a society-wide reckoning about the cozy relationships between the Chinese government and American institutions, from the NBA to Harvard University. While the paper is responsible for some of the most gut-wrenching stories about Chinese government oppression, it has also run more than 200 propaganda articles in the last decade, some of which sugar-coated China's human rights abuses. One 2019 video ad, for example, promoted Xinjiang tourism by depicting the oppressed Uyghur people as content under Chinese rule.

China Daily, an official mouthpiece of the Chinese Communist Party, has been purchasing advertorial spaces in the pages of mainstream U.S. media outlets for the last decade, using the space to disseminate Chinese propaganda to millions of unassuming Americans. In return, U.S. newspapers such as the Times, the Washington Post, and the Wall Street Journal received millions of dollars.

Top Trump Admin Official to Visit Taiwan Amid Growing Standoff With China

Trip is highest-level U.S. visit since 1979

A top Trump administration official is set to lead a U.S. delegation to Taiwan amid a growing standoff with China, marking the highest-level visit by an American cabinet official since 1979, according to senior Trump administration officials.

Health and Human Services secretary Alex Azar is scheduled for a trip to Taiwan in the coming days, a move that will see the United States lend its support to the embattled island as it faces a widening diplomatic war with China, which has sought to isolate Taiwan and bar it from key international forums, including the World Health Organization.

The trip has already been met with opposition by China and is likely to further frustrate the Trump administration's adversarial relationship with the Communist regime. China claims Taiwan as its own sovereign territory and U.S. administrations have historically avoided challenging Beijing's claims in an effort to foster closer economic relations. As the coronavirus continues to ravage the globe, the Trump administration has helmed multiple efforts to hold China accountable for the virus's spread. The Taiwan trip is yet another salvo in a diplomatic battle between Washington and Beijing that many have likened to the days of the Cold War with Russia.

You probably think the NRA is a legitimate non-profit organization though, don't you? And it's members are looking to enrich themselves with donations?

@Stew Cook

It's essentially calling China tourism advertisements propaganda, which I guess it technically was, but I'm not seeing this as some grand conspiracy.

Yeah...selling yourself out to communists is solid logic.

It does seem like this is somewhat inevitable...but...what about the nuclear deterrent of "mutually assured destruction "?

The reason I ask is this: even right now, the most worrisome weapons China has wisely developed for "area denial" of our carrier battle groups are their cruise missiles. Ever longer ranges and now hypersonic. But how do you tell a nuclear warhead tipped cruise missile from a conventional explosive tipped? You dont. No radar on this planet, nor any other device I have ever heard of can differentiate ....so do you think China is gonna launch cruise missiles at US (think Tomahawks on Baghdad) knowing that if we believe for a second that 1 of them might carry a nuclear warhead....we will unleash Hell resulting in nuclear holocaust.

Guess my question is:

Can a war between the 2 most powerful nations on Earth happen using only conventional weapons while both countries possess enough nukes to destroy every major city on Earth???

This has been a behind the scenes war, island building, selling below grade steel used in our naval vessels, renting entire piers that only have their inspectors, universities and corporations opening up tech that China has stolen, Helping China establish a level 4 biohazard lab in wuhan. These actions are enabled by bad actors and politicians within the US. It's been a slow process for China but they were succeeding until about 4 years ago then the rules started changing.

Bingo. And if the wrong side wins they will start again, as well as Iran and their nuke program.

Wait, what am I denying again? I think your original assertion was something to the effect that the media is as bad as Russia, because they push Chinese propaganda. And the evidence you presented was the equivilent to Chinese travel brochures.
