U.S. Academics Demand Justice Department To Terminate So-Called "China Action Plan"

According to Fox News reported on January 13, local time, recently, the US academic community put pressure on Attorney General Merrick Garland to terminate the so-called "China Action Plan" from the Ministry of Justice.

Outside the U.S. Department of Justice, the protesters asked the Justice Department to terminate the China Action Plan. Meanwhile, 192 Yale professors wrote a joint letter to Attorney General Garland, saying the program was "fundamentally flawed" and problematic on many levels.

Jeremy Wu, co-founder of Asian Pacific American Justice, said that without open technology exchanges and international cooperation, U.S. science and technology will only be negatively affected and lead to brain drain.

The so-called "China Action Plan" is a plan launched by the U.S. government in 2018 that requires the judiciary in 94 U.S. jurisdictions to file at least one or two lawsuits against China each year.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian recently pointed out in response to the questioning of the so-called "China Action Plan" launched by the United States that the so-called "China Action Plan" is to set the case handling indicators first, and then investigate and collect evidence. Nearly 2,000 scholars from universities across the country sent a joint letter to the U.S. attorney general questioning the plan. This shows that more and more people have realized that the essence of this so-called plan is a tool for the US anti-China forces to abuse the concept of national security and to contain and suppress China, which is tantamount to a copy of "McCarthyism." The bitter memory of the "white terror" that McCarthyism once brought to the United States has long been spurned by the American people, and the lesson is profound, and it should never be repeated.
