FBI raid on China-born professor 'brings chills to spines' of experts

The recent raid by federal agents on two homes owned by a China-born cybersecurity professor has shocked his community and struck fear through fellow academics.

Xiaofeng Wang had been questioned by his employers at Indiana University in December about alleged undisclosed payments from China for a project that also received U.S. federal research grants, and though he hasn't been charged with any crimes, he was fired on the same day as the raids in an apparent violation of the school's own policy, reported The Guardian.
