A Nothingburger at best!!!
Allow me to give you a small exert from Wiki (on a summary from
PERMANENT SUBCOMMITTEE ON INVESTIGATIONS UNITED STATES SENATE. ;

Thousand Talents Plan - Wikipedia
"In January 2020, the
Federal Bureau of Investigation arrested
Charles M. Lieber, the chair of Harvard University's Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology, for lying about his ties to the program.
[37][38] In May 2020, the FBI arrested
a former researcher at the Cleveland Clinic for failing to disclose ties to the Thousand Talents Program.
[39] In June 2020, it was reported that the
National Institutes of Health had investigations into the behavior of
189 scientists.
[40] In November 2020,
Song Guo Zheng, a TTP participant, pled guilty to making false claims to the FBI about his ties to the Chinese government during his employment at
Ohio State University.
[41]
In November 2019, the
US Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations and
Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs held an open hearing on the China's Talent Recruitment Plans, including the TTP, and called the programs a threat to national security.
[42][43] The report from the hearing cited TTP contracts as violating research values,
TTP members willfully failing to disclose their membership to their home institutions, and cited numerous cases against TTP members for
theft of intellectual property and fraud.
[42] One TTP member stole proprietary defense information on U.S. military jet engines.[42] The report indicated that "TTP targets U.S.-based researchers and scientists, regardless of ethnicity or citizenship, who focus on or have access to cutting-edge research and technology."
[42]
In August 2020,
Canadian Security Intelligence Service warned both
Canadian universities and Canadian research institutions of the TTP, saying that i
t recruited researchers and scientists around the world to persuade them to share their research and technology — either willingly or by coercion.[3]"
OK, so not only one scientist was found to work for China and selling US intellectual propperty.
But at least 190!!
China is buying your scientists all over the world to gain "Western discoveries" for their use against the West.
And it is not only infiltrating the USA. But Canada, Australia also.
