Ana Swanson and Keith Bradsher, US May Limit Access for Chinese Researchers; Worries about stolen technology in an escalating trade war. New York Times, May 1, 2018 (front page). https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/ ... hers-espionage.html
(a) the first two paragraphs:
"WASHINGTON — It sounds like something out of a science fiction movie: In April, China is said to have tested an invisibility cloak that would allow ordinary fighter jets to suddenly vanish from radar screens.
"This advancement, which could prove to be a critical intelligence breakthrough, is one that American officials fear China may have gained in part from a Chinese researcher who roused suspicions while working on a similar technology at a Duke University laboratory in 2008. The researcher, who was investigated by the F.B.I. but never charged with a crime, ultimately returned to China, became a billionaire and opened a thriving research institute that worked on some projects related to those he studied at Duke.
(b) paragraphs 7-9 from the bottom:
"Fueling the push are instances like the one involving Ruopeng Liu, a Chinese citizen and a promising student at Duke who was helping to develop a cloak that shields objects from a broad spectrum of wave frequencies. The professor leading the Pentagon-funded lab, David R Smith, became suspicious of Mr Liu, who seemed intent on collaborating with old colleagues in China, and even invited them to tour the lab and photograph Duke's equipment.
"It became clear to Mr. Smith that Mr Liu was trying to share the cutting-edge technology he was studying in the United States with colleagues in China. The institute he founded on his return to China eventually received millions of dollars of investment, registered thousands of patents and even played host to President Xi Jinping of China.
"Mr Liu did not respond to interview requests, but in past interviews, he has maintained that he did nothing wrong, beyond taking advantage of an open and collaborative university atmosphere. Like many projects in the United States, most of Mr. Smith’s work at Duke was early-stage research that was not classified or categorized as a deemed export.
