On Monday, the Justice Department announced the arrest of Zhongsan Liu on charges of conspiring to fraudulently obtain research scholar visas for Chinese government employees whose real intention was not to gain an education, but to conduct intellectual and national security espionage.
According to the complaint, Liu tried to secure J-1 research visas at several U.S. academic institutions for Chinese officials. In turn, those officials sought to recruit scientists, engineers, and other experts to go to work in China as part of an effort to obtain American intellectual property.
