  • Description: According to a database compiled by the publication MIT Technology Review, the DoJ had brought charges against 162 defendants under the initiative by the end of 2021 (including institutions and companies; see go.nature.com/48ptwuj). Adding to the unease, in November 2023, the US House of Representatives appropriations committee, which oversees government expenditures, called on the DoJ to reinstate the initiative. Since 2018, China has been the top global producer of articles in leading scientific publications. On both occasions, his laptop and phone were confiscated but eventually returned. Since 2021, th ree of hi s postdoctora I resea rchers a n d one visiting PhD student - all from China - have been interrogated at US airports when they returned from trips home. According to the MIT Technology Review database, at least 26 of the 162 DoJ cases, including Chen's, were predicated on researchers making false statements on grant applications.
