Does Lincoln Lab count as MIT? Is it really a "school" per se?

It'd be pretty surprising if no one was attempting to spy on such organizations

I don't know what Tsinghua does but I can imagine a top school doing similar government-funded work anywhere

> It'd be pretty surprising if no one was attempting to spy on such organizations

Just last year a professor and two Chinese nationals at Harvard were indicted for something similar: https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/harvard-university-professor-...

A country’s premier research university seems like a pretty normal espionage target.
