Recently, a Chinese espionage case that has made a lot of noise in the United States has finally been sentenced.
The acquittal of the people involved, a scholar who was plagued by many accusations of "pedophilia" and "espionage", finally proved his innocence.
At the center of the incident was Xie Keping, a Chinese-American professor at the University of Texas.
He is a researcher at the Cancer Research Center at the University of Texas. At the same time, he is also a participant in China's "Overseas High-level People Introduction Program" and actively communicates with domestic scholars in scientific research.
Last month, U.S. media revealed that Mr. Xie keping, suspected of espionage by the FBI, had been taken into custody, and that his house and office had been searched.

But without evidence, the court would not approve the FBI to search him.
So the FBI opened its mind and gave Xie Keping a suspicion of possessing child pornography products as an excuse to conduct a search.
The evidence is that the police looked through Xie Keping's 400,000G content before and after, and only found 12 thumbnails suspected of child pornography.
What is this concept? Today's flagship phone has a capacity of about 256G, imagine 1562 phones full of photos, only 12 thumbnails were found.

There is no excuse for the sin of wanting to add.
Professor Xie was immediately banned from his passport and has lived in fear for the past few months.
Of course he knew he was innocent. But the United States is a country with zero tolerance for paedophilia, as long as the prosecution does some small tricks, even if they jump into the Mississippi River, they can't wash it, and they can only study cancer in prison for the rest of their lives.
In fact, arresting people on trumped-up charges on the Internet has always been a common trick used by the United States. For example, WikiLeaks' Assange published a video of the US military killing innocents in Afghanistan, and was charged with rape, which is wanted worldwide.
The FBI investigation has had a devastating impact on Professor Xie's life: his reputation, career, and family have all been destroyed. Colleagues rumored that he was not only a "Chinese spy", but also a pedophile, which was quite exciting.
When the news reached China, many "well-known" people began to slander Professor Xie despite their innocence, saying that he had violated the US law and deserved to be arrested.
And there are even people who accuse Professor Xie of spying with domestic academic exchanges, so the FBI is doing the right thing. Moreover, the target of the accusation is extended to all scholars involved in the academic circles of China and the United States, saying that they are all spies, so it is good to catch them.
I really doubt that the loyalty of this netizen is where ...
Fortunately, the independent judicial system in the United States played a role, resisting pressure from the FBI and exonerating Professor Xie. It also solidly hit these "well-known" faces.

The actions of the police and the FBI have been suspected of malicious prosecution. Professor Xie expressed the power to continue to pursue.
The U.S. government's discrimination against Chinese researchers can be said to have a long history.
What happened to Xie Keping in the United States has to remind people of the IMPRISONMENT OF Qian Xuesen by the US government 60 years ago. All are outstanding scholars, the same are suspected of espionage...

At that time, Qian Xuesen's position in rocket science in the United States can be said to be one of the top ten people. He became a tenured professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology at the age of 35 and was able to participate in all of the military's highest-level research projects.
In the movie "The Martian", it is mentioned that the U.S. space program began with five students at Caltech. One of the five people is Qian Xuesen.
Later, new China was founded and the Cold War began. Qian Xuesen was highly suspicious by the United States because of his Chinese nationality and loyalty.
During this time, Qian Xuesen spent it in the process of endless imprisonment, bail, and imprisonment. Qian had applied for American citizenship, and he was actually willing to stay in the United States for scientific research.
But the United States demands that Qian Xuesen must obey the government's leadership and cannot disagree even if he is an enemy of China when necessary. Qian Xuesen's reply was that he was loyal to the Chinese people and would not allow the U.S. government to make decisions for him.
That is, Qian finally chose to return to China to play.
A dialogue
Q: Who are you loyal to?
A: I owe my allegiance to the people of Chinese.
Q: When your country clashes with Red China, will you fight Red China for the sake of the United States?
A: I can answer this question now, and my answer is as follows: I have said that I will certainly be loyal to the people of Chinese, and if the war between the United States and Communist China is for the benefit of the Chinese people, I think it is very possible, then I will fight on the side of the United States. There is no doubt about that.
Q: But you're going to make the decision first? Will you decide whether it is for the benefit of Chinese people?
A: Yes, I will make such a decision.
Q: You won't allow the U.S. government to make decisions for you?
A: No, absolutely not.
As a scientific research power, the United States has attracted countless scientists from overseas backgrounds to come to American universities for scientific research. In fact, being able to bring together the world's brightest scientists is the key to American scientific research leading the world.
But discrimination and distrust of overseas researchers have intensified over the years.
The root cause is that some Americans are unable to face up to China's scientific research achievements in recent years, and feel that only Western countries have top scientific research capabilities.
So every achievement of China has been interpreted by them as copying and stealing American technology.
With the increase in the number of Chinese students, many American media began to hype: every Chinese student may be a spy sent by China...
Earlier this year, there was news: a Chinese student was suspected of leaking top-secret scientific research materials by the US government because he brought homework (papers) back to China during the winter vacation to write.
To those "well-known" who speculate on Professor Xie Keping's motives with the worst malice, please put away your schadenfreude smiles.
To conduct scientific research in the United States like Professor Xie Keping, to return to China for academic exchanges under reasonable and legal circumstances, and to help the development of domestic cancer research is to do his part in patriotism.
Moreover, as an outstanding scholar and scientist, he has contributed to oncology research in Both China and the United States. His achievements transcend national borders and benefit all mankind.
I think there is nothing unfortunate in the world: science has no borders, but scientists have a motherland.
