>Harvard Chair of chemistry and "top chemist in the world in 2000-2010" was paid like shit
>accepted money from a Chinese talent program ($100k)
>didn't disclose it to the Trump Admin
>Trump DOJ wanted him in jail for espionage
>got off with 2 yrs of supervised release and 6 mths of house arrest for tax fraud and lying to feds because of cancer
>was stripped of all his academic titles and couldn't get a position in the US
>is now a professor at Tsinghua Shenzhen University and wants to co-create a "global scientific hub" in Shenzhen
all of this because the richest country on earth can't pay their top scientists lol. Did you know that first year quants make more money than Terry Tao, one of the top 5 living research mathematicians?
How does the US expect to keep on leading science if its rival is willing to pay 10x better wages?
