A researcher at Stanford University has been indicted on U.S. charges of lying and destroying evidence of her status as a member of the Chinese military.
Song Chen, a 39-year-old visiting medical researcher at the university, was charged last July with lying on a visa application about her membership in the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). On Feb. 18, a federal grand jury issued a superseding indictment charging her with visa fraud, obstruction of justice, destruction of documents, and lying to federal investigators.
