China's Thousand Talents Plan targets research information from overseas universities

According to Australian Strategic Institute, the Chinese Talents Plan recruits leading Australian scientists for secret researches. Similar situations can be found in Australia and the US, with some receiving AUD$50000/month to work with the Chinese, without coming clean with their home universities.

One of the possible motivation for the Chinese government in doing this is to gather information regarding coronavirus vaccine researches for their own benefit, according to Michael Shoebridge from the Australian Strategic Policy Institution.
