Chinese developer pumps $115 million into local coronavirus research

Science reports that a Chinese development company is giving a consortium of Boston-area researchers $115 million to investigate Covid-19 and figure out how to fight it.
Some 80 scientists from Harvard Medical School, the Broad Institute, Massachusetts General and Moderna - which was already working on a possible vaccine - met at Harvard Medical School today and will collaborate on the research.
The company, the Evergrande Group, has previously funded local research; in fact, one of the leaders of the new effort is Arlene Sharpe, co-director of the Evergrande Center for Immunologic Diseases at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital.

Strange
Not big on conspiracy theories but did they ever tell us what the Chinese students were trying to smuggle out of the country a few months before this whole coronavirus thing
It was one student
And he was a cancer researcher who allegedly wanted to be lead author on a scientific paper, so I'd go with cell samples related to cancer research.
There were two other arrests, but neither had direct connection to biology - one was an alleged cyber security spy, the other was a Harvard nanotechnology professor charged with hiding his connections to a Chinese university.
Ok one student 18
Ok one student 18 interceptions at Logan alone

Making kind of a big leap there
Do we know all 18 of those cases were Chinese students? No.
