| Scandal rocks America's top colleges as they fall for audacious Chinese trap |

| [DM] America's most prestigious universities have been accused of handing cutting-edge military technology to Beijing in a series of shady partnerships. Lawmakers warn these deals are turbocharging China's rise as the world's most dangerous superpower rival. A bombshell congressional report says US taxpayer-funded research projects - many bankrolled by the Pentagon - are being exploited by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to develop stealth fighters, nuclear weapons, hypersonic missiles and surveillance tools. The revelations come as Chinese nationals on US campuses are arrested in alarming numbers for spying, smuggling biological materials and violating export controls. Together, the scandals paint a picture of a higher-education system that has become a front line in the battle for global supremacy between Washington and Beijing. The 39-page document, titled How the CCP Exploits US University Partnerships to Empower China's Military and Repression, was released this month by Republican members of a House select committee on rivalry with Beijing. It lays out more than 100 academic tie-ups that lawmakers say create 'serious national security risks' - including projects in submarine engineering, stealth aircraft power systems, missile technology, hypersonics, robotics and quantum computing. John Moolenaar, chairman of the select committee, slammed them as a 'pipeline for the CCP's military ambitions.' |
