Quote:

(a) "On March 28, FBI agents raided two homes belonging to Xiaofeng Wang, a computer-science professor at Indiana University Bloomington. Hours later, the university fired him without explanation.

"Those events deepened a mystery around Wang, a well-known expert in cybersecurity who had worked at the university for two decades. His faculty page had suddenly gone missing from the university’s website weeks earlier.

"It later emerged that the university had been investigating Wang over undisclosed alleged China collaborations, though the connection with a Federal Bureau of Investigation inquiry remained unclear. The university declined to comment on Wang’s firing. It said it was recently made aware of a federal investigation of a faculty member but declined to say more 'at the direction of the FBI.'

"In addition, Wang's wife, Nianli Ma, lost her job as an Indiana University library analyst without being given a reason. Wang and Ma are Chinese citizens with permanent residency in the US. * * *

(b) "Between 2018 and 2021, 5,361 Chinese scientists in STEM [science, technology, engineering and mathematics] fields left the US for China, a 53% surge over the previous four-year period, according to s study published in Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences.

"Wang, who joined the Indiana University faculty in 2004, had frequently worked with academics in China on projects related to cryptography, privacy and cybersecurity. According to an archived version of his removed faculty page, he was listed as the lead researcher on nearly $23 million in research grants since joining the university.

"The university contacted Wang in December to inquire about a 2017 grant in China with his name on it, according to people familiar with the matter. Wang wasn’t aware of the grant, which had been applied for by his Chinese research partners, the people said. The university opened a formal investigation into Wang several weeks before the FBI raids.

Note:
(a) Both title and subtitle use plurals, but the text gives just one example: the Wangs.
(b) in print:
(i) The paragraph starting with "Between 2018 and 2021, 5,361 Chinese scientists" is a paragraph in its own right (though online it is the last part of a paragraph.
(ii) this paragraph is immediately followed by the paragraph that begins with "Wang, who joined the Indiana University faculty in 2004," whereas online there is another paragraph in between these two paragraphs.
