A McGill University professor accused of involvement in a years-long scheme to steal U.S. technology for China’s military received hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal funding from Ottawa during the same period, a report by La Presse says.
Last year, the FBI arrested American citizens Yi-Chi Shih and Kiet Ahn Mai on charges of scheming to steal military technology from an American company to export to China. Yi-Chi Shih’s brother, Ishiang Shih, a Canadian professor teaching electrical engineering at McGill University, is also suspected of helping in the scheme.
