The University of Michigan’s $86M in untimely foreign gift disclosures—with Chinese-linked researchers smuggling biological pathogens—exposes a systemic failure to prioritize national security. Congressman Moolenaar is right: taxpayer-funded research can’t double as a backdoor for hostile regimes. UM’s Center for Chinese Studies director downplaying threats while DOJ prosecutes smuggling cases proves bureaucratic indifference.
