Suspected for Receiving $3M from CCP, University of Pennsylvania Failed to Explain the Donor's background

The University of Pennsylvania, a member of the Ivy League, was accused that a donation from an unknown party of US$3M, may include the Chinese Communist Government. Washington Free Beacon, a political news website by the conservatives, reported on 3rd August "The amount of donation was from a mysterious shell corporation in Hong Kong which its boss was involved in a government official corruption case in Shanghai, resulting in resignation. Besides, he has a close relationship with the Chinese Communist Party. The donation implies that China is paying an effort in interfering with the Academies in the US."

In the past few years, the University of Pennsylvania received a large number of foreign funds, which the majority was from China. From March 2017 to the end of last year (2019), the University received presents and contracts of US$61M involved. Among the large amount, cash donation owned a significant portion of US$19M.
