> It describes how McLeod and Wei appear to have been running what NIH has called "shadow labs," using existing federal grants from U.S. agencies to help carry out research in China.

> Wei, the only ethnic Chinese person among the six fired researchers, was instrumental in establishing and maintaining his colleagues' connections with TMUCIH, according to the report.

> Dr. Wei maintained contact regarding Talents program applications with TMUCIH personnel, as well as other apparent Chinese contacts. Determining specifically with whom Dr. Wei communicated over this time period is difficult because communications were often to various web-based email addresses not directly traceable to individuals or entities and were in Mandarin Chinese.

> If someone studies in the US, spends years working there, and then decides that "actually, I'd have better opportunities in China" and moves back,

What actually happens is that recruited scientists illegally use grants from the host country to fund research that is then sent back to China, and when they're caught, they also flee back to China.

Oh, you're an imbecile. Nevermind.

Fuck that defeatist attitude.

> For one, many top scientists trained in the U.S. have returned to China over the past decade, fueling the emergence of biotech hubs around Shanghai.

It's depressing that we were never able to stop China's parasitizing of our tech industry and expertise.

Bingo. The Covid conscious have been predicting this would happen for awhile now.

Is this what the fall of Rome felt like? Increasingly absurd?

I expect the lingua franca in science and technology will shift to Mandarin in the next 10-15 years.

They also had write access, and one of the team members was fired from his old job for stealing company data.

It’s also literally hacker related. It doesn’t stretch the guidelines like other political submissions.

I guess the deep state is less powerful than people thought because surely they would have taken out Trump or Musk by now.

> But what a gift to China. I spoke to well known scientists when I was in the IC, who were receiving lavish offers of their own brand new labs if they'd come to China. Of course it's an offer with strings but many of them think...but I'll be able to do my work. China will go into overdrive and leave the U.S. behind in the dust as our scientists take the best offers.

TLDR: “ Beijing assumes that Washington’s own policies will dismantle the foundations of U.S. global hegemony, even if it creates a lot of turbulence for other countries in the process. China’s top priority, then, is simply to weather the storm.”

That was for the doge member who made a bunch of racist tweets, not to be confused with the other doge member who made a bunch of racist tweets or the doge member in the OP.

Right, so this is 100% a coup. There is absolutely no denying it at this point.

TikTok and DJI do similar things

Never install Chinese apps on your phone.

We all know why. This administration is behaving indistinguishably from one installed by a foreign power.

Is it fully functional?

This is just aggregating tweets from the doge account, where Elon proclaims he’s cancelled millions in funding for DEI programs without explaining what those programs actually were.

They'll ignore it like they ignored the block on the funding freeze [0].

Thank god.

Straight from the horse's mouth:

> Our objectives are to determine how (1) the Government of Ukraine used the USAID-provided Starlink terminals, and (2) USAID monitored the Government of Ukraine’s use of USAID-provided Starlink terminals.

That's not really an investigation of Starlink but of the use of Starlink terminals.

Almost certainly caused by the need to figure out how to process packages that were previously de minimis exempted from tariffs.

> I don’t understand why Maga supporters in the U.S. thinks it’s a good idea to threaten our allies.

They take for granted the US's position at the top of the global order. They assume these countries have now choice but to kowtow to the US.

THC% has skyrocketed over the last 20 years, that’s well documented. I know from experience that one time is all it takes to mess you up.

All those people in Dearborn who voted for Trump, wonder how they’ll feel.

This may be a joke, but with the ultra-potent weed available nowadays, one time is really all it takes to cause serious psychological changes.
