Sky News host Sharri Markson revealed on her Sunday night program that the Chinese government is recruiting Australian scientists and academics to a secretive research program called the Thousand Talents Plan by offering lucrative incentives. The program obliges its recruits to abide by Chinese law and religious practice and requires their inventions be patented in China, but offered recruits profitable salaries and additional perks.
Mr Hastie said the Australian government provides the National Research Council close to $780 million per annum. He said these recent revelations add to concerns around whether the money is used by universities and scientists to advance Australia’s national interests or not. “Their intellectual property, their research is harvested – it appears – by the Chinese state,” Mr Hastie said.

eyes_wisdom 🇸🇪 and 🇪🇺 have become soo bad in recent years Perhaps the pending 🇨🇳 world wide takeover will save us all ? Becoming a Chinese obedient servant 🤪
Not only in Australia, they are also carrying out this kind of plans all over the world. We can see that they have huge ambitions🤷
Australia has no obligation to foster the research of Chinese military and AI, as China uses these technologies to spy on people. Everyone is a victim.
China has seen through some of scientists and researchers have funding needs, so 🇨🇳 use money as a lure. Those willing to participate need to know, China's ambitions is obvious, that may have betrayed your country by doing so. ThousandTalentsPlan
Terrible to see that CCP has largely infiltrated into Australia
Please realise that CCPChina takes advantage of your country, steals your technology, sends spies, distorts your political environment, threatens your security and freedom, while blocking its brutal regime from democratic appeals. Decoupling is the answer!
China is a Devil to the world
Threats of CCP infiltrates different aspects, industries, religions, constituencies of many countries' enterprises and academics. Esp. high tech, vaccine & military secret. Stop them and protect your ppl. Cut all CCP related programmes now for safe.
oz_jacko Gees Andrew, you are a bit slow.. Has been happening since the seventies & Gough Whitlam. A lot of politicians & bureaucrats bought ‘Lock stock & barrel’..
Lol, Andrew (anti-China) Hastie having a go at China, quelle surprise.🙃 He purports to represent the people of WA, but is obsessed w China, to our detriment. Perhaps an investigation is needed see to where his loyalties lie, to the US, or to Australia?
To delete a culture, institutes are the first place to get into. CCP has been infiltrating into institutes round the world.
Australia and other countries should investigate the manipulation by CCP China to the universities and institutions in your countries and cut all the direct or indirect funding by China, as it only causes the limit of academic freedom and free speech. Chinazi CCP_is_terrorist
This show it is necessary to cut connection with China
Evil CCP_is_terrorist and disguises as the weaker and humble to learn. They infiltrated the research institution and corrupt the free world. Australia must investigate who's been corrupted already. CCPJudgementDay is coming

China's Thousand Talents Plan 'stealing' leading Aussie scientists | Sky News AustraliaThe Australian Strategic Policy Institute's Michael Shoebridge spoke with Sky News about China’s so called ‘Thousand Talents Plan’ which he claimed targeted universities in a bid to increase the influence wielded by the communist party over research hubs.\n\nThe Australian investigated China’s Thousand Talents Plan and described it as an initiative which seeks to recruit “leading Australian scientists for a secretive research program that offers lucrative salaries and perks but requires their inventions to be patented in China and obliges them to abide by Chinese law”.\n\nMr Shoebridge said similar situations were playing out in Australia and the United State where there was “one case where someone was receiving $50,000 dollars a month to work with the Chinese and not disclose it”.\n\n“The pattern of behaviour around this talent recruitment, and participants … not coming clean with their home universities is pretty clear”. \n\nThose who refuse to be transparent about their connections to the scheme should be penalised, he said.\n\nMr Shoebridge suggested a motivation for the Chinese government could be to siphon information concerning coronavirus vaccine research in order to develop a cure.\n\n“Having inflicted the pandemic upon the world, the Chinese government needs to rehabilitate its reputation and there’s no better way to do that than show they’ve succeeded with the vaccine”.\n\n“Stealing the best research from the University of Queensland or small start-ups in South Australia is exactly what they would want to do”.\n michael_ASPI Isn’t it called the free market when people accept the highest paid employment opportunity? michael_ASPI The aust govt refused to pay them but the chinese do well f$%k the aust govt. michael_ASPI UQ encouraged their researchers to apply for grants from China to collaborate on Covid 19 data. Anyone see a problem there? 👀Some researchers and UQ are complicit and happy to apply and let China infiltrate if they benefit financialy or other ways. reform ScottMorrisonMP
