-Caveat Lector- China: $558m lure for expat scientists Source: Hong Kong Standard Published: 07/07/99 Author: Reuters $558m lure for expat scientists STORY: BEIJING: China will spend 600 million yuan (HK$558 million) over the next three years on grants to lure overseas Chinese scientists to help its modernisation drive. The program, which Xinhua News Agency said was China's largest ever government-funded recruitment scheme, aimed to draw 300 overseas Chinese scientists to conduct research at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The scientists would be given research grants of two million yuan to work on China's US$602 million (HK$4.70 billion) National Innovation System scheme to promote science and technology to support economic development, Xinhua said. Candidates would be required to have a doctorate and be less than 40 years old. China's efforts to acquire technology have come under close scrutiny in the United States amid allegations Beijing systematically pilfered US nuclear weapons and other military secrets for years. China has vehemently denied the allegations, arguing that it had developed and tested its first nuclear weapon and built a satellite launch program based solely on domestic technology. - Reuters ================================================================= Kaddish, Kaddish, Kaddish, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> *Mike Spitzer* <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ~~~~~~~~ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends Shalom, A Salaam Aleikum, and to all, A Good Day. ================================================================= DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list.
