两个关于MIT陈刚院士官司的情况

北美校友群里发的：

1、I just heard from a Prof. Gang Chen( MIT)’s colleague saying that MIT will support Gang by providing the legal support. This is great to hear. In fact, Gang’s Chinese research funds are mainly for the MIT-China joint research centers. MIT is fully aware of these joint research efforts and Gang is only the director of the center on the MIT side. Please share this information with your friends to clarify some misinformation on the internet. Thanks.

2、I like to clarify another charge to Prof. Gang Chen by FBI claiming his undisclosed Chinese appointments in China when he applied for the US research research grants. Until 2020, there has been no clear guidances from the US government agencies to disclose the academic courtesy appointments in applying for a US research grant. This is a common practice of almost all researchers in the US. For example, at Princeton, we were advised by our university research grant office to list our foreign courtesy appointments starting sometime from the beginning of 2020. Therefore, FBI is using a new policy to charge a normal practice of Gang in the past. The purpose is very clear: stop any Chinese influence.

大致意思是：

1、MIT坚决站在陈刚这一边并提供法律帮助，因为校方对MIT与中国相关学术机构的合作完全知情，陈刚院士只是作为MIT一方的主任参与

2、美国FBI起诉陈刚在申请美国科研基金时，没有披露之前与中国合作中所担任的职务。但是2020年之前，美国相关机构对美国学术人员在中国担任“学术荣誉性职务(academic courtesy appointments)”，并无明确的需要披露的规定。并举出一个类似的例子：在普林斯顿大学，类似规定是2020年年初，由普林斯顿大学科研基金管理办公室自行规定开始实施的。也就是说，FBI对陈刚院士未披露的指控，是用清朝的剑，斩明朝的官。最后一句是说：FBI此举目的非常清楚：停止一切中国影响

通宝推：河江河,东海后学,陈王奋起,四方城,起于青萍之末,

蓬佩奥应该是主谋，报复MIT不给他面子喷中国

Pompeo shames MIT, calls Chinese authorities ‘jackbooted thugs’ in remarks about academic freedom

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo dialled up his anti-China rhetoric on Wednesday, referring to authorities in the country as “jackbooted thugs” while also calling out the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for declining to host his address about national security threats posed Beijing.

Speaking at Georgia Institute of Technology, Pompeo, America’s top diplomat, asserted in a discussion that many Chinese students doing research in the US “are returning home to suffer”.

“A Fulbright student coming in from some country ought not be returned to their home country and to suffer from the jackbooted thugs that now want to take the information that they got, send them back into the United States only to have them just take a little bit more information that they’re going to hand off to the Chinese [Ministry of State Security] … or the People’s Liberation Army”, he said.

其中这句话，暴露了蓬佩奥报复MIT的原因：

“MIT wasn’t interested in having me to their campus to give this exact set of remarks,” Pompeo said in his opening address. The school’s president, L. Rafael Reif, he added, “implied that my arguments might insult their ethnic Chinese students and professors”.

被MIT拒了之后，于是伊便换了个学校喷中国了，包括MIT。喷中国是jackbooted thug（长靴暴徒，大约是类比纳粹士兵），喷MIT是想保护将被蓬佩奥喷的中国留学生与教授们。

看来，陈刚院士是蓬佩奥报复行动的直接牺牲品。

我觉得有点丢人，给蓬佩奥喷中国与MIT的学校居然是。。。
