Original title: U.S. prosecutors are seeking to withdraw the charges against Chinese professor Chen Gang, and Zhao Lijian responded
[Global Times global network reporter Wang Panpan] Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian presided over the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the 18th. A foreign media reporter asked that, according to the Washington Post, the U.S. prosecution is seeking to withdraw the accusation against Chen Gang, a Chinese American professor at MIT, that he "did not disclose his relationship with China". In the past year, eight accused related to the US Department of justice's "China Action Plan" have been dismissed. What is China's foreign ministry's comment on this?
Zhao Lijian said: I have taken note of the relevant reports. I have no comment on the US judicial case. I would like to emphasize that the Chinese government has always advocated that the exchange and cooperation of talents should be based on abiding by the law, upholding scientific integrity and abiding by professional ethics. The relevant policies and measures are not fundamentally different from the common practices of various countries.
There is an old Chinese saying that if you want to add sin, you have no choice. The so-called "China Action Plan" of the U.S. Department of justice first sets case handling indicators, and then investigates and handles cases. Such an approach will only lead to unjust, false and wrong cases. It is reported that in the past two years, the vast majority of the compilation of typical cases of the plan did not involve intellectual property rights and commercial theft. This practice of ignoring judicial justice and imposing charges unreasonably has aroused strong opposition and condemnation from justice figures in the world. Nearly 2000 scholars from universities across the United States jointly wrote to the U.S. attorney general to question the plan. 192 Yale professors wrote a joint letter to the U.S. attorney general, saying that the plan had fundamental defects. More than 20 Asian American groups sent a joint letter to the president of the United States asking for the cessation of the plan. The Chinese American Federation organized protests outside the US Department of justice, demanding that the "China Action Plan" be stopped.
Zhao Lijian said that facts have proved that the essence of the so-called "China Action Plan" is nothing more than a clumsy tool for the US Anti China forces to abuse the concept of national security and contain and suppress China. The United States should listen to the voice of justice from all walks of life, correct wrong practices as soon as possible, stop using China as an imaginary enemy, stop fabricating excuses, discredit and suppress China, stop interfering and undermining the normal exchanges and cooperation between China and the United States in the field of science, technology and humanities.
