In this episode of Common Ground, we’re diving into a serious national security concern: the theft of American intellectual property and research by foreign adversaries. From advanced technology to cutting-edge academic discoveries, the Chinese Communist Party has been actively targeting U.S. universities and research labs to steal valuable intellectual property.
Shane, Amandalynne, and Logan break down the Thousand Talents Program, a Chinese initiative that recruits top U.S. researchers and professors to funnel sensitive information to China, often without them even realizing it. We explore real-world examples of intellectual property theft and discuss how foreign espionage is not just an issue for the government, but a threat to the entire American innovation ecosystem.
In a world where universities and businesses share ideas openly, this episode highlights the growing vulnerability of the U.S. to foreign exploitation and why securing our research and technology is more important than ever.
