Hey, what about professor Gang Chen and the possibility of intellectual property being stolen from our labs after multiple Chinese nationals working in US universities have already been charged with espionage?

MIT's response:
“In many respects the defense of Gang Chen is the defense of the scientific enterprise that we all hold dear,” the faculty members added. “We are all Gang Chen.”

Really? How is that?

“At best, it represents a deep misunderstanding of how research is conducted or funded at a place like MIT”

That's truth leakage.

I think we have a pretty good idea how things are being conducted in our US labs.
There are links galore...

They act like there's no threat or infiltration from China, because to them there isn't.
Leftist academics and scientists are obviously colluding with Communist China.
Why else would they rise in solidarity with them?
