CHINA-US: U.S. FEDERAL JUDGE ACQUITTED PROFESSOR ANMING HU WHO WAS ACCUSED OF CONCEALING HIS LINKS TO CHINA
A federal judge in Tennessee on September 9 acquitted Professor Anming Hu who had been
accused of hiding his China ties when applying for research grants to work on a NASA project,
saying the U.S. government hadn’t proven its case. The judge’s ruling comes as the Justice
Department is facing increasing criticism from groups representing Asian-Americans and some
Democrats in Congress over whether it is improperly targeting Chinese academics while looking
into allegations of fraud in U.S. grant programs.
