The Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus says a new rule change in a federal grant process will help prevent the wrongful prosecution of Chinese scientists and academics.
Members of the caucus praised the changes announced last week by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, which are aimed at making the grant process more uniform and less prone to error due to unclear rules and instructions.
“The threat of espionage is a real one that our government must remain vigilant against. But because the China Initiative prioritizes indictments of people with Chinese ancestry, what are often just paperwork mistakes are instead being used to ruin careers and lives,” the chair of the caucus, Rep. Judy Chu, D-Calif., said in a statement. “We are pleased to see that our recommendations were adopted in this new guidance.
The Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus sent a letter to the Office of Science and Technology Policy in November, calling on it to make similar changes, removing the “contradictory requirements in the grant application process that have resulted in legal action being taken against researchers.”
