UC Berkeley repeatedly neglected to inform the U.S. government of its massive deal with China, which involves the communist country funding a highly sensitive $240 million joint tech venture that has been running for the last eight years.
The university failed to disclosed to the U.S. government a $220 million investment from the city of Shenzhen for a tech project inside China, and another $19 million from Tsinghua University in Beijing, according to documentsThe project, called the Tsinghua-Berkeley Shenzhen Institute , is a joint research initiative backed by Berkeley and Tsinghua University, a top science school widely known as “China’s MIT,” that is controlled by the Chinese government’s Ministry of Education.
While a Berkeley spokesperson admitted that it had failed to disclose to the U.S. government a $19 million deal in 2016 with Tsinghua University, he suggested that the rules at the time were not very clear. When it came to the school’s failure to declare the $220 million investment from Shenzhen to build a research campus in China, the spokesperson told the outlet that the university hadn’t yet disclosed the investment because the campus is still under construction.
