The FBI has been harassing collegiant faculty of Chinese heritage for like a decade now, accusing them of secretly working for the evil cee cee pee.

Especially the female researcher of Chinese descent who killed herself the better part of a year ago, because she was slandered, psychologically abused, discredited and had her lab and research stolen by the U.S.

Ironic, because she was supportive of the Hong Kong coup in 1989

what happened in HK in 1989?

I'm worried that they arrested this guy and his wife and disappeared them to a torture facility under the notion that they're spies because they chatted with colleagues about work topics while in China thus giving away valuable 'murican knowledge and advantage to the dastardly Chinese. Either that or they got lucky and skipped the country first, hope it's that one but I'd expect they'd be saying something.

I think the more chilling part of this is the implication that a university is working with the FBI to erase this person at the drop of a hat, with no due process. Not that it's surprising, considering universities that take the side of the genocidal settler state israel over student protesters, for example. But it doesn't make it any less fucked up.

The FBI started as an extrajudicial hit squad to murder folk-hero bank robbers and the creator/first director was a deeply fucked-up man who used the Bureau to hunt down homosexuals because he was one and hated himself so much. It has never been a morally upright organization.

Thanks for the context. I've figured they're an extension of the white supremacist, colonial fucked system (which implies a lot of shittiness all on its own), but am not very clear on the details. Do you have any sources you could recommend on the history?
