Former Cleveland Clinic researcher charged with fraud for failing to disclose China ties
The complaint says Wang “knowingly failed” to tell NIH he held the position of Dean of the College of Life Sciences and Technology at the Huazhong University of Science and Technology and that he received grant money from the National Natural Science Foundation of China for some of the same scientific research funded by the NIH grant. It says NIH approved its grants for Wang’s Cleveland Clinic research based on his “false representations and promises.”
Investigators also allege that Wang participated in the Thousand Talents Program, which the Chinese government established to recruit people with access to or knowledge of foreign technology and intellectual property. China provided Wang with $3 million in research support for his lab in China. It also gave him free travel and lodging for his trips to China, including a three-bedroom apartment campus for his personal use, authorities said. This occurred while Wang was received NIH grant money without disclosing his ties to China.
Well, now, the left still “knows” that the biggest threat to our national security is man made global warming, not this giant giveaway of very expensively obtained technology.
