A
leaked database of registered members of the Chinese Communist Party has
exposed a mass infiltration of American companies — with serious
national-security implications. Boeing, Qualcomm and Pfizer are just
three US companies who have employed dozens of CCP members in their Chinese
facilities, the database reveals.
They
had secret financial ties to Communist China. It is not clear how long they
went undetected or how much taxpayer-funded research they stole, but so far
54 scientists have been booted for failing to disclose a troubling
financial arrangement with a foreign government.
The
critical new rule appears to be the Trump administration’s response to an
epidemic of Communists, mainly from China, that have stolen billions of
dollars in taxpayer-funded scientific research while working in the United
States with Uncle Sam’s permission.
More
than 70 U.S. universities that received funding from the Chinese government
did not disclose those donations to the Department of Education, prompting
concerns from lawmakers and watchdogs about Beijing and the Communist
Party’s growing influence on American college campuses.
