I previously presented the concerns of Professor Bill Kauffman who was punished by the University of Michigan for raising the issue of Chinese students being used to steal high technology from advanced science Ph.D. programs at that university.  These programs have substantial military-related technology work.  China provides a boatload of money to the Ann Arbor folks, and they naturally want to "hear no evil."

Apparently the FBI is now conducting a comprehensive investigation into student spies across the U.S.  Yes, I know, this sounds like a conspiracy theory.  The spy stuff is avoided by the mainstream press, but there are now reports in second tier publications on the FBI investigation of Chinese students in several Eastern U.S. universities.  I'm not representing this as fact, but as troubling.  We'll see where this goes.  A strong pattern seems to be emerging.  And Robert Mueller of the FBI told Congress that China was the most aggressive country for espionage.

UPDATED:  New Zealand's secret service is now accusing Chinese government spies of cyberattacks on government computer networks. This is consistent with the People's Liberation Army publication, "Unrestricted Warfare," written by two Chinese colonels in 1999.
