The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and other federal agencies have failed to prevent China from openly recruiting American scientific experts in exchange for payment and perks. This, according to Judicial Watch.
The Judicial Watch story relies on a report published by the Senate Homeland Security Committee. According to Judicial Watch, “This report exposes how American taxpayer funded research has contributed to China’s global rise over the last 20 years.”
The U.S. Senate report says the U.S. taxpayers spend over $150 billion a year on scientific research. Most of the federal agencies conducting this research have been impacted by the Chinese infiltration efforts, according to the story.
In 2008, the Chinese government announced its plan to recruit top overseas researchers and to eventually bring their talents and expertise to China to benefit the government. Despite China’s public declaration of its intentions, the FBI took nearly ten years to recognize that Chinese government talent programs posed a threat to the U.S. academic community and federal research grants.

Ya don’t say? What wasn’t stolen the Clintons gave away.
Stolen or handed to them by American companies that hire foreigners?
I would guess hundreds of billions of dollars, if not trillions, worth of technology, over the past 30 years, beginning with Clinton.
Only billions?
I think that’s a low estimate, unless that is defined as closer but not quite a trillion dollars.
Handed.
One of the conditions of opening a factory in China is the handing over your patents to the Chinese government.

No; hundreds and hundreds of billions.
And not just what we might think of as “science”. The last big WTO settlement was over the theft of a new technology for the lining of soda cans.
DUH
Some was given to them.
Color me surprised.
To be fair, the FBI doesn’t have the time to both investigate Chinese espionage and to try to ruin President Trump. So they had to set priorities.
