A cyber security professor disappeared amidst an FBI search. His family ‘firm to fight’

Data Privacy Professor Xiaofeng Wang’s wife, which was Removed from his tenure At Indiana University, Bloomington (IU) was discovered by the Federal Bureau of Investigation Bureau last month on the same day, said on Monday that they believe that their family was wrongly targeted by the US government and described as “wrong allegations of academic misconduct”.

“Our family is firm to fight not only for ourselves, but also for a comprehensive research community, which will reject such allegations,” said Nianali Ma.

This is the first time MA has publicly spoken as the FBI discovered in late March. She appeared in a webinar hosted by the Asian American scholar forum (AASF), a non -profit group formed to advocate for the rights and recognition of Asian American scholars in early 2021. Ma worked as a library analyst at the university, before he too was suddenly removed from the IU, before the FBI discovered two houses of the doubles, Indiana daily student Informed,

“I can’t just understand that the university, on which we dedicated two decades of our life, we can behave in this way, without explaining why or going through a proper process, especially for my husband,” Maa said. “I have lost my weight and have difficulty sleeping. I think it is stuck in a constant state of anxiety and sadness.”

Wang’s case has expressed concern among academics that a closed justice program called China Pahal is being revived under the new Trump administration. The campaign, which was launched with the declared target to combat economic espionage during President Trump’s first term, was accused by critics of wrongly targeted by Chinese-born researchers and other Asian-migrants and Asian-American educational communities. DOJ later released the program under the Biden administration, as it lost or withdrew several related matters.

One of them was the case of MIT Professor Gang Chen, one of the most high-profile MIT Professor, under the initiative of China, which failed to disclose the links of several Chinese institutions in grant applications. Chen also spoke at Monday’s webinar. The allegations against him were dropped next year when it was not found necessary by the federal government after the revelations.

Chen said, “Niyanali’s story is going to break the heart. The FBI raid images of Niyanali and Professor Joffeng Wang colds in our spine,” said Chen. He said, “This brings fear to my family and many others went under the initiative of China. While reading the news report about you, no one can stop asking if China’s initiative is actually back,” he said while talking to MA directly.

Brian Sun, a member of the AASF Legal Advisory Council, said in a webinar that there is currently “no evidence that Ziafeng’s case includes any illegal transfer of technology or anything that will contain that kind of concerns for the establishment of China’s initiative.”

New York American representative Grace Meng, who gave a key speech at the event, said that he is concerned about the efforts by the current US President’s administration to restore China’s initiative, which “did nothing to address national security concerns meaningfully and instead created a deep chilling effect on research and scientific innovation, as well as to ruin the life and livelihoods of those.”
