Working with Chinese scientists was not specifically the problem. He lied about WHAT he was researching and the research was probably funded by taxpayer funded grant. (For which the applicant swears on oath they were truthful.) Regardless of who funded the research, we don't just let people do any kind of research together with hostile nations, especially when the results might be used against us. Research is not necessarily publicly shared. US law forbids sharing anything that might be used as a weapon against us. This is what the Huawei controversy is about.

Yep, he was lying to the State Department, his university, and a lot of other people. I’m curious as to how he got caught, maybe somebody noticed that he suddenly owns a lot of really nice vehicles or an auditor noticed inconsistencies in paperwork and started digging into it, who knows?
