Fugitive Chinese scientist 'hiding in Chinese consulate in San Francisco'


U.S. officials say a Chinese scientist suspected of visa fraud and hiding his links to the military is hiding at the Chinese consulate in San Francisco.

U.S. officials say the case is part of China's program to secretly send Chinese scientists to the United States.

President Trump's administration on Wednesday ordered the closure of the Chinese consulate in Houston, saying US information was being stolen through the consulate.

After the closure of the Houston consulate, President Trump warned that more Chinese consulates could be closed after that.

In recent months, President Trump has sharply criticized China for blaming the outbreak of the corona virus, over trade issues and over tight security in Hong Kong.

What are the allegations against the Chinese Consulate in San Francisco?

According to documents submitted by government officials to a federal court in San Francisco, Chinese scientist Juan Teng was a biology researcher at the University of California.

According to the document, he said in an interview with the FBI last month that he had nothing to do with the military.

A document presented to the court said that later investigations revealed pictures of him in a military uniform and a search of his home revealed that he belonged to the Chinese People's Liberation Army.

After the FBI interview, Tung went to the Chinese consulate on June 20, where the FBI could not reach him.

Prosecutors say Teng is not the only Chinese scientist, but appears to be part of the Chinese military's program to send Chinese scientists to the United States under various pretexts.

The document cites two other cases in which Chinese scientists were arrested in California for lying about their military affiliation.

What is happening at the Chinese Consulate?

The issue of the Houston consulate was raised when several compartments in the hallway of its building caught fire.

In the video footage, it can be seen that some people are burning paper in these bins.

Emergency crews were called, but Houston police said they were not allowed into the building.

The US administration on Wednesday gave China 72 hours to evacuate the consulate building.

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said he is "making it very clear what the Chinese Communist Party should do." And when they do, we will take steps to protect American interests, American security, the American economy and jobs. "

China has five consulates in the United States and an embassy in Washington. China has called the US decision a political provocation.

What are the issues between China and the United States?

There are many issues between China and the United States that are causing tensions. Some of the most serious cases are as follows:

Corona virus: The US president has repeatedly called the virus the Chinese virus and insisted that the virus was made in Chinese laboratories, contrary to reports from his intelligence agencies. In response, Chinese officials have said that Code 19 originated in the United States, but they have no evidence of that.
Trade: President Trump has long accused China of pursuing an unfair trade policy and stealing intellectual property. China and the United States have been at loggerheads over trade since 2018 and have been taking action against each other.
HONG KONG (Reuters) - China imposed new security rules a few months ago to quell protests in Hong Kong, prompting the United States to lift special trade concessions granted to Hong Kong. China has blamed the United States for interfering in China's internal affairs.
South China Sea: There is also a dispute between the two countries over the fact that China is constantly increasing its presence in this resource-rich sea. The US Secretary of State has described China's advance in these disputed waters as bullying and bullying.
