Another University of Michigan researcher arrested as Justice Department escalates anti-China campaign. If she had a good attorney or smart parents would have advised her to leave US after obtaining her Ph.D. Her foolishness will cost her dearly including possible jail time. There is absolutely no future for Chinese scientists in America! 司法部升級反華行動，密西根大學另一研究員被逮捕。如果她有一位好律師，或者她父母很聰明，會建議她在獲得博士學位後離開美國。但她的愚蠢行為將讓她付出慘痛代價，甚至可能是個錒鐺入獄。中國科學家在美國絕對沒有未來.

Stripped of the xenophobic rhetoric of the Department of Justice (DOJ), the core allegation is that Han mailed four packages from China to associates at a University of Michigan (U-M) lab containing common, non-hazardous biological research materials—specifically, roundworms and plasmids on filter paper—without the proper permits. The charges do not relate to anything she carried on her person or in her luggage.

Just days before Han’s arrest, the DOJ charged U-M postdoctoral fellow Yunqing Jian and her partner, Zunyong Liu, with conspiring to import the fungus Fusarium graminearum, which the DOJ’s press release sensationally branded a “potential agroterrorism weapon.” This fungus is a common plant pathogen already prevalent across the United States, and agricultural experts have noted that its use for widespread infection is highly unlikely.

The real issue, once again, is a customs violation, not a plot to destroy American agriculture. Jian is also being held in Sanilac under federal custody without bond. The timing of Jian’s arrest, nearly a year after Liu was denied entry into the US, suggests it was politically motivated to coincide with other cases in the anti-China campaign.

On June 8, Chengxuan Han, a PhD student from Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan, was arrested at Detroit Metropolitan Airport and charged with smuggling and making false statements to federal officials. She is being held in federal custody without bond at the Sanilac County Jail and faces the threat of up to 20 years in prison. The case of is a textbook example of a political frame-up.
