A Chinese doctor who fled her homeland after exposing controversial COVID-19 research claims that scientists from China working in American laboratories are systematically trained to steal intellectual property for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), raising alarms about national security threats embedded within U.S. research institutions.

Li-Meng Yan, a Chinese-educated doctor born in Qingdao, China, asserts that Chinese scientists are bound by government contracts to pilfer U.S. research, technology, and other valuable assets for the benefit of the CCP.

“Scientists getting visa from China to the US, they are visiting scholars. They have signed the contract with Chinese government to go back to China, serve China with whatever they can get from the US,” Yan said during a recent television interview. Her statements suggest a calculated effort by the CCP to exploit U.S. openness in academic exchanges.

Yan’s claims align with recent actions by the Trump administration, which has initiated a rigorous vetting process for hundreds of foreign scientists, particularly those from China, who were granted visas with assistance from federal agencies like the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The move aims to curb potential espionage and protect sensitive research.

“That’s why they get visas from the Chinese government. So from the beginning, they have already made a deal with the CCP and become CCP’s, kind of agents,” Yan added. “So China has these people come here, grab your intellectual properties, grab your technologies, compromise your people, and that is like the tumor, like the parasites go to your body, go to your country.”

The doctor’s warnings come amid heightened scrutiny of Chinese researchers in the U.S., spurred by incidents like the recent case at the University of Michigan, where two Chinese-born scientists were charged with attempting to smuggle a toxic pathogen into the country. The episode has intensified concerns about the vulnerabilities in America’s research ecosystem.

China is a hostile power to the US, and its citizens should be treated accordingly unless they are willing to disclose secrets of the communist regime.
