A Chinese woman living in the U.S. as a visiting researcher at Stanford University has been charged with lying about her ties to the Chinese military, federal prosecutors say.
The case was sealed in online records Monday. A phone message to an attorney who represented her in court Monday was not immediately returned Monday evening.An FBI agent who wrote an affidavit in the case wrote that in an interview this month, Song"repeatedly and adamantly denied" any current affiliation with the People's Liberation Army Air Force or the Chinese military or Fourth Military Medical University.
But prosecutors said that research articles showed her affiliation with institutions under the air force, and that investigators who searched her computer recovered a deleted document of a letter to the Chinese consulate in New York. The FBI agent who wrote the affidavit in the criminal complaint wrote that the recovered letter"provides further evidence that Song works for the PLA and was here on its behalf."that causes muscle weakness. A Stanford professor told an investigator that Song's research benefitted the work in his lab, according to the affidavit.
