FILE - American flags are displayed together with Chinese flags on top of a trishaw on Sept. 16, 2018, in Beijing. According to Federal spending records, the two scientists worked at an American laboratory led by more senior Chinese scientists and funded by the U.
S. Government. Yunqing Jian, 33, and Zunyong Liu, 34, were charged Tuesday with smuggling a fungus called Fusarium graminearum into the United States in 2024. According to the Justice Department, the fungus is classified in the scientific literature as a “potential agroterrorism weapon” because it affects wheat, barley, maize, and rice by causing “head blight.” The Justice Department has reported that Yunqing Jian’s electronics contained evidence describing “her membership in and loyalty” to the Chinese Communist Party. The Trump Administration has made defending against Chinese Communist Party influences a priority. Just the News is reporting that both China-born scientists were affiliated with a University of Michigan research laboratory led by two senior researchers who are also Chinese citizens.
