Excerpt:
“We can’t continue to allow China to rape our country, and that’s what they’re doing.” That was candidate Donald Trump back in April of 2016. As he also said, in reference to China, “we’re like the piggy bank that’s being robbed.” If that seems a stretch, consider the case of Ruopeng Liu.
The Chinese student enrolled at Duke University in 2006 and in 2007 he became a protégé of Dr. David Smith, developer of “metamaterials.” These function as an “invisibility cloak” that can make objects invisible to microwave signals.
Liu brought in two researchers from China, and during their stay at Duke they took photographs of the lab and its contents, as NBC noted “focusing on the apparatus that allows scientists to measure the cloak.” They took everything back to China, where they built an exact replica in Liu’s previous lab.
Smith said it sounded like theft and the FBI agreed, though no charges were filed. Some observers wondered if the Chinese government had tasked Liu to grab Smith’s intellectual property but in an interview Liu laughed and called the charge “ridiculous.” Liu is now worth a reported $2.7 billion and touted as the Elon Musk of China.
