Snopes attempts to debunk this as "Mixed". When I first saw this video, I thought it was some kind of hoax because it's that weird recording of a video on a cell phone. It isn't. The links below prove the video. <https://invidio.us/watch?v=RkvV75elFLM> <https://invidio.us/watch?v=4JxM7lauNj8> <https://www.cnn.com/2020/01/28/politics/harvard-professor-chinese-nationals-arrest-espionage/index.html> <https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/charles-lieber-arrested-coronavirus/> <https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/harvard-university-professor-and-two-chinese-... tionals-charged-three-separate-china-related> <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_M._Lieber> It is perhaps interesting to note that the majority of his group is Chinese <http://cml.harvard.edu/people/charles-m-lieber> <https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/02/why-did-chinese-university-hire-char... s-lieber-do-battery-research> (Article snippit below): Lieber was arrested on 28 January on charges of making false statements to U.S. law enforcement officials and federal funding agencies about a collaboration he forged with researchers in China. He was released two days later on a $1 million bond. An affidavit outlining the charges against Lieber notes that in January 2013, he signed an agreement between Harvard and Wuhan University of Technology (WUT) in China. According to the affidavit, “The stated purpose of the agreement, which had a five-year effective term, was to ‘carry out advanced research and development of nanowire-based lithium ion batteries with high performance for electric vehicles.’” Officials at WUT have not responded to requests for comment on their agreement with Lieber. But it outlines just the kind of high-tech work that U.S. prosecutors involved in efforts to investigate Chinese attempts to acquire advanced technology from U.S.-based researchers say they are concerned about. They allege that the Chinese government has used such collaborations to improperly take advantage of the federally funded research enterprise, and gain an edge in economic and military advances. In Lieber’s case, however, the battery angle poses a puzzle. That’s because a search of the titles of Lieber’s more than 400 papers and more than 75 U.S. and Chinese patents reveals no mentions of “battery,” “batteries,” “vehicle,” or “vehicles.” (According to Lieber’s CV, through 2019 he has co-authored 412 research papers and has 65 awarded and pending U.S. patents. The website of the Chinese National Intellectual Property Administration indicates that Lieber has been awarded 11 Chinese patents.) In fact, one U.S. nanoscientist and former student of Lieber’s says: “I have never seen Charlie working on batteries or nanowire batteries.” (The scientist asked that their name not be used because of the sensitivity surrounding Lieber’s case.) -- |-----/ | Se7en / The One and Only! | se7en@cock.email / | 0x73518A15BA3C1476 / | https://se7en-site.neocities.org
