When people are following the high-profile trial of Charles Lieber, former Chair of the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology at Harvard University, Anming Hu will share his personal experience as the first academic tried under the “China Initiative” starting at 11 am ET/8 am PT on Sat. December 18, https://aasforum.org/.
The panel discussion on “The China Initiative and Professor Anming Hu’s Case” will be moderated by Criminal Law Professor Margaret Lewis (陸梅吉), the author of “Criminalizing China” and “Time to End the U.S. Justice Department’s China Initiative.” The other panelists include the two award winning investigative reporters Jamie Satterfield and Mara Hvistendahl (馬語琴), who covered the historical trial under the China Initiative. The judge acquitted all charges against him after a hung jury.
Professor Hu will also join by his defense attorney, one of the juror, the presidents of the Faculty Senate and Association of American University Professor (AAUP) chapter at the University of Tennessee and leaders of local support groups.
