[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] At least nine scientists have mysteriously died in China as speculation grows over the deaths and disappearances of 11 American scientists.
In many of the Chinese cases, the causes of death are recorded as accidents, sickness, or unexplained incidents.
And while these explanations appear straightforward individually, taken together they are drawing increased scrutiny.
One of the most puzzling cases is that of Feng Yanghe, a 38-year-old defence technology professor who died in July 2023.
He had reportedly been working on simulations related to a potential Taiwan invasion before his death in a late-night car crash in Beijing, Newsweek reports.
Official accounts state that Feng had been leaving a work meeting when the crash occurred at around 2.35 am.
But speculation grew after his obituary described the scientist as having been 'sacrificed while performing official duties,' wording that some observers found unusual for what was described as a traffic accident. |
