    And here is the excerpt! The full book features an Illinois farmer turned reluctant FBI informant, an airport bust involving microwave popcorn bags, and a lot more context. Pre-order here:

  3. A good idea. Ultimately, misguided investigations waste resources that could toward addressing real threats.

  8. Harry Sheng spent years searching for answers about why he never found a job in his field again. He wrote his congressman and even tried to FOIA his own file. Now, after his death, it seems clear that he was caught up in a global rivalry. (11/12)

  9. I also talked to former FBI agents and employees who detailed disturbing practices within the bureau. One told me that he was advised not to date Asian-American women because doing so might put the United States at risk. He is Asian-American himself. (10/12)

  10. Look, for example, at the case of Charles Lieber, the chair of Harvard's chemistry department. His offenses would have been missed using this traditional framework. (He was charged with grant fraud, not economic espionage.) (9/12)

  11. The program was driven by the assumption that advances in China were the result of subterfuge by immigrant scientists in the U.S., ignoring the possibility that China had made gains on its own and that (perhaps more important) non-ethnic Chinese might spy for China. (8/12)

  12. The Chinese scientist program continued into the late 1970s and likely affected hundreds of researchers. Chang-Lin Tien, the former chancellor of , was among the people surveilled under it. (7/12)

  13. One FBI field office floated the idea of recruiting ethnic Chinese researchers as double agents, planting them in labs, and waiting until Chinese intelligence operatives approached them. (6/12)

  14. The effort covered ethnic Chinese students as well, though field offices may have struggled to come up with meaningful lists here. This was the late 1960s, and the FBI wasn't exactly welcome on campus. So the bureau used membership records of old scientific organizations. (5/12)

  15. The documents make clear that the targets included U.S. citizens. Harry Sheng, for example, left China before 1949 and became a US citizen in 1961. (4/12)

  16. The bureau likely didn't reach that goal, but it certainly tried. The idea of the Chinese scientist program, as it was called, was to assemble the various lists into an index of 3x5 cards listing researchers' names, clearance levels, and "degree of cooperation." (3/12)

  17. In 1967, following China's detonation of a hydrogen bomb, J. Edgar Hoover's office ordered agents around the country to compile lists of ethnic Chinese scientists. The goal was to identify all 4,000 such researchers (FBI's estimate) then in the U.S. (2/12)

  18. NEW: A few years, a woman came to me with the story of a family friend, Chinese-American engineer Harry Sheng, who lost his job after a 1970s run-in with the FBI. He never found work in his field again. We FOIAed documents that might explain why. (1/12)
