How China Turns Stanford Students Into Spies

For years, concerns about Chinese espionage have quietly persisted at Stanford. Yet until now, no attempt has ever been made to gauge how pervasive it is. The answer, we discovered after a yearlong investigation, is: very pervasive. After interviewing multiple Stanford professors, students, and China experts virtually all of whom requested anonymity, fearing retaliation we found overwhelming evidence that the CCP is orchestrating a widespread spying operation at Stanford.

According to Stanford experts on Chinese intelligence-gathering efforts, the CCP has employed a crowdsourced approach to gathering information at Stanford. Dubbed nontraditional collection, the MSS uses civilians unaffiliated with the intelligence community to acquire and report sensitive information. The aim of nontraditional collectors isn t necessarily to steal classified documents but rather to quietly extract the know-how behind American innovation.
