Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) on Thursday wrote to the presidents of 26 research colleges and universities in his state, warning them to guard against espionage efforts by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
“I write to bring your attention to a thorny issue that threatens to compromise our nation’s security as well as the integrity of the research and development enterprise in Florida,” Rubio said in the letter, noting that the Chinese regime is taking advantage of research collaboration and educational exchange to “covertly advance a malign agenda.”
