Sounds like a Wuhan 2.0, only this time with Peking University doing studies to control the global rare earth metals production. Listed as a conduit for stealing technology which appears to have been funded under Obama.
American taxpayer funds have supported research at a leading Chinese Communist Party-owned laboratory central to Beijing’s push to monopolize control over rare earths
________
Despite this conflict of interest, U.S. federal funding from institutions including the Office of Naval Research, Department of Energy, and National Science Foundation have supported research conducted at SKL-REMCA.
Research into rare earth conducted under the Hundred Talents Program, a controversial program flagged by the U.S. government for its contributions to espionage and aiding China in winning the technology race.
________
U.S. Funding Reached the Lab
Federal grant data and joint research filings show that projects involving scientists affiliated with the State Key Lab have received U.S. taxpayer support.
Several of these awards were active after 2018, when the U.S. government publicly identified rare-earth supply as a national security vulnerability.
___________
U.S. intelligence and federal prosecutors have described it as a tool for technology transfer and economic espionage, often requiring participants to conceal their foreign funding or dual appointments.
