Gallagher Opens Investigation into University with DOD-Funded Weapons Research, Partnership with Chinese Military-linked University

Press Release

"To put it plainly, DOD is funding advanced, hypersonic weapons-related research at an American university that actively partners with a Chinese university that performs similar research for the PLA. We seek additional information regarding this alarming matter and the DOD's efforts to safeguard sensitive U.S. military research.

It is extremely concerning that $17 million in American taxpayer dollars has gone to fund advanced weapons-related research at a university that actively partners with a Chinese research institution working hand in hand with the Chinese military. It is not a secret that the CCP uses Confucius Institutes to project "soft power," but it's time to shed light on how the CCP also uses these institutes to build Chinese "hard power" weapons that could be used against Americans in a future conflict. I look forward to hearing promptly from DOD and Alfred University on what they are doing to ensure American research security remains intact and that American taxpayer dollars aren't used to fuel the CCP's military advancement."
