3 Dead in Suspected Hantavirus Outbreak on Cruise Ship in Atlantic Ocean: WHO

House lawmakers are demanding transparency from Harvard University over partnerships with sanctioned groups including those involved in the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) genocide against Xinjiang Uyghurs and forced organ harvesting. The lawmakers highlighted in particular the university's partnerships with blacklisted Chinese entities.

Reps. John Moolenaar (R-Mich.), Tim Walberg (R-Mich.), and Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), chairs of the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party, House Committee on Education and Workforce, and the House Republican Conference, respectively, sent the <a href="https://selectcommitteeontheccp.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/selectcommitteeontheccp.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/Harvard%20Letter%3AXPCC.pdf">letter</a> to Harvard University President Alan Garber on May 19, requesting documents and testimony by June 2.

Harvard did not respond to an inquiry from The Epoch Times by the time of publication.
<h2>Xinjiang Paramilitary Group</h2>
Lawmakers raised concerns over Harvard's participation in providing training to Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (XPCC), which the United States <a href="https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sm1073">sanctioned</a> in 2020 for "serious rights abuses against ethnic minorities" in Xinjiang.

"On multiple occasions, Harvard hosted and trained members of the sanctioned, paramilitary organization XPCC—one of the primary implementers of the CCP’s genocide against the Uyghur people," lawmakers said.

"Harvard stated that its training was designed to help 'participating policymakers … translate the lessons from the course into tangible, effective policies.' But to XPCC, 'effective policies' are those that succeed in repressing the Uyghur people," the letter reads.

Harvard's first association with the XPCC was in 2019, before the sanctions, and an <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20240209120305/https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/china-health-partnership/research/training-nhsa/">archived</a> statement from a Harvard China Health Partnership (HCHP) conference thanks the XPCC for its participation. The line has since been removed.

The lawmakers note that though Harvard did not mention XPCC in statements about subsequent HCHP conferences, Chinese agencies issued statements that name XPCC as a participant in both the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20231026053125/http:/www.nhsa.gov.cn/art/2023/10/24/art_14_11432.html">2023</a> and <a href="https://www.nhsa.gov.cn/art/2024/11/1/art_14_14487.html">2024</a> HCHP conferences, and HCHP published a photo that <a href="https://selectcommitteeontheccp.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/selectcommitteeontheccp.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/Harvard%20Letter%3AXPCC.pdf">blurs</a> out four panelists' names.

The lawmakers noted that XPCC has used "health care-related efforts" to further its persecution, for instance, questioning more than 1,000 Uyghurs and publishing results in a study that was later <a href="https://bmcpublichealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12889-023-16559-x">retracted</a> by the BMC Public Health journal for ethical violations.
<h2>Forced Organ Harvesting</h2>
U.S. and international bodies have recognized that the Chinese regime is perpetrating forced organ harvesting from live prisoners of conscience, urging caution in supporting China's transplant industry.

Given the longstanding concerns, lawmakers raised concerns over recent organ transplant research Harvard conducted in collaboration with Chinese partners, listing seven papers published between 2022 and 2024, including one titled  "Transplantation of a beating heart: A first in man."

In 2006, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/china/whistleblower-ex-husband-forcibly-removed-corneas-from-2000-living-prisoners-2826955">whistleblowers</a> stepped forward to The Epoch Times to reveal that the CCP directed surgeons to remove organs from followers of the peaceful spiritual practice Falun Gong, killing them in the process, to sell the organs for profit. One hospital worker said her surgeon ex-husband had participated in this beginning as early as 2001, and thousands were killed. The same year, Canadian lawyers David Matas and David Kilgour <a href="http://img.theepochtimes.com/assets/uploads/2023/12/04/id5540994-Kilgour-Matas-organ-harvesting-rpt-July6-eng.pdf?_gl=1*1t5jx4a*_gcl_au*MTUzODIwNTQ1OC4xNzAyNTY4NzM5*_ga*MTMyNDA3NjcwNS4xNjg2OTk3MjMz*_ga_RD0QM5H02Q*MTcwNjg3OTQ4NS41MjUuMS4xNzA2ODc5NjE4LjU5LjAuMA..">published</a> an independent report alleging this was happening on a large scale and detailing their investigation.

In <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/114th-congress/house-resolution/343/text">2016</a>, the House passed a resolution recognizing the CCP's forced organ harvesting, and in 2019, an independent <a href="https://chinatribunal.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/China-Tribunal-SUMMARY-JUDGMENT_FINAL.pdf">tribunal</a> in London <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/china/unmatched-wickedness-tribunal-confirms-longstanding-allegations-of-organ-harvesting-by-china-2970592">concluded</a> that forced organ harvesting has taken place in China for years “on a significant scale" and constitutes "crimes of humanity ... beyond a reasonable doubt."

The House recently passed two bills aimed at criminalizing participation in forced organ harvesting. The Falun Gong Protection Act (HR 1540) would <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/china/house-unanimously-passes-falun-gong-protection-act-to-counter-ccps-forced-organ-harvesting-5852764">sanction</a> those implicated in the forced harvesting of organs of Falun Gong practitioners. The Stop Forced Organ Harvesting Act (<a class="article-hover-class" href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/1503/text" target="_blank" rel="noopener">HR 1503</a>) would <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/china/house-overwhelmingly-passes-stop-forced-organ-harvesting-act-5854059">sanction</a> and fine or incarcerate anyone implicated in organ transplant abuse.
<h2>Research Collaborations</h2>
Lawmakers also demanded answers over research collaborations that concern military applications. They listed as examples DARPA-funded research concerning AI and optic-chip applications with researchers at Tsinghua University, U.S. Air Force-funded research on polymer science with a Zhejiang University professor, U.S. Air Force-funded alloy research with Huazhong University, and micro-robotics research with Tsinghua and Zhejiang universities.

<a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/china/chinas-tsinghua-university-found-to-have-cyber-spied-for-regimes-trade-interests-belt-and-road-2627779">Tsinghua</a> University, <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/china/chinese-doctor-discusses-a-possible-case-of-forced-organ-harvesting-3187905">Zhejiang</a> University, and <a href="https://www.theepochtimes.com/article/suicides-strike-chinese-university-1491777">Huazhong</a> University are not sanctioned entities, but are state-owned institutions with open ties to the Chinese military.

Another project on robots for deep-sea exploration "included scientists from the Beihang University, which is one of the PRC’s 'Seven Sons of National Defense," the letter read, referring to a group of seven Chinese universities with firm ties to the Chinese Ministry of National Defense and the defense industry.

The lawmakers are concerned this is a national security risk, as it "trains researchers at PRC [People's Republic of China] military-linked institutions in scientific areas that could be critical in a future conflict" and "provides the PRC with insight into U.S. military priorities."

Lawmakers also said that Harvard has worked on several projects funded by the Iranian National Sciences Foundation, an Iranian regime agency subject to sanctions beginning in 2024, including one in partnership with a professor at China's Zhejiang University.
