UC Berkeley Received Six-Figure Donations From CCP Officials, Records Show

The University of California, Berkeley, received donations from a blacklisted Chinese research university, Chinese Communist Party officials, and a Beijing state-owned chemical company, according to records obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.

The news comes days after the Trump administration launched an investigation into UC Berkeley for allegedly failing to disclose funding from China, including a $220 million government investment in Berkeley’s joint research institution with Tsinghua University.

Donor records obtained through a California public information request provide new details on Berkeley’s financial relationship with China and foreign government-linked donors.

Section 117 of the Higher Education Act requires that American universities disclose the names and locations of foreign donors to the federal government. For four years, the Biden administration failed to strictly enforce the law and withheld donor names from the American public. ...

Berkeley also received $336,000 for its "research units" in 2023 from Vincent Cheung Sai Sing, a longtime member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference for Shanghai City, an advisory body to the Chinese Communist Party.  ...

  • The problem with everything is they try and make it better without realizing the old way is fine.

I bet a a lot more foreign money is out there in other Uni's besides Communist Berkley.  Lets peel back the onions layers.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
Nothing like putting cutting edge research in the hands of prospective enemies. They should have to do that the old fashioned way, with spies and stuff...

Oh, Wait! They do.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

59 billion dollars has gone into our Universities since 1986 from foreign countries.
29 billion of that came in during the 4 years of the Biden administration, from China and Qatar.
