A Southern Illinois University–Carbondale mathematics professor and researcher has been indicted by a federal grand jury on two counts of wire fraud and one count of making a false statement for failing to disclose support he was receiving from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and a Chinese state-run university.
Professor Mingqing Xiao defrauded the National Science Foundation (NSF) of $151,099 in grants by concealing aid that he was receiving from the Chinese regime, according to the indictment filed April 21 with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois.
