Chinese state media and researchers have lashed out at a prominent US cancer centre’s decision to oust three scientists over alleged links to espionage, saying such moves would backfire on America.
Pisters said the centre had an obligation to ensure US taxpayers’ money invested in biomedical research – it received US$148 million in public grants last year – was not used to benefit other countries. “This is a move by US policymakers to bring comfort – these measures are like a sleeping pill to help them through a restless night.”
Jia Qingguo, head of international relations at Peking University, said expelling Chinese researchers was a short-sighted policy that would ultimately do more harm than good for the US. The cancer centre dismissals come amid a broader campaign targeting Chinese scientists in US agencies amid suspicions over Chinese efforts to steal American technology.
