US drops cases against five researchers accused of hiding ties to Chinese military by   The Justice Department announced last July charges against Juan Tang and three other scientists living in the U.S., saying they lied about their status as members of China’s People’s Liberation Army. (Department of Justice) WASHINGTON The Justice Department this week dropped prosecutions of five foreign researchers accused of concealing ties to China’s military and who were arrested last year in a highly publicized sweep against alleged Chinese spying in the United States. The moves came as one defendant, cancer researcher Tang Juan, was scheduled to stand trial on Monday in the Eastern District of California on charges of visa fraud. A court on Friday granted the department’s motion to dismiss her case. Motions to dismiss are pending in the other four.
