Austin社区论坛：科学界亚裔躺枪间谍调查？

近年来，不少美国亚裔公民被错误的指控为间谍。今年8月份，CBS“60分钟”栏目播出了Collateral Damage (“垫背牺牲品”)专题片，讲述了陈霞芬、郗小星两位美籍华裔科学家的的不幸遭遇。最近，美国的国内、国际政策的发生了一系列的变化，加上中美贸易战正酣，政府部门对科学界的亚裔、尤其是华裔的间谍指控有愈演愈烈之势。

如何避免在日常工作中不小心触犯相关法律？美国的政策变化将会对华裔社区带来怎样的影响？

鉴于这个局面，以APAPA和百人会为首的十个团体将在奥斯汀组织社区论坛，请百人会成员、国家安全法方面的大律师Nelson Dong，和奥斯汀市长Steve Adler等权威人士，还有移民律师，辩护律师和现任法官，就相关问题进行深入探讨，为亚裔社区提供破局思路。

Workshop: Impact of Espionage Investigations on the Scientific Community

In recent years, a number of innocent American citizens of Asian descent have been falsely accused of espionage. On August 26, 2018, CBS 60 Minutes broadcasted “Collateral Damage,” about two American scientists, Sherry Chen and Xiaoxing Xi, whose lives were turned upside down by such accusations. As a consequence of more recent changes in US domestic and foreign policies, the suspicion and accusations of espionage directed to the Asian American research community, and in particular, to the Chinese American research community, have the potential to become even more pervasive.

In light of this serious threat, a group of national and local Asian American organizations will hold an educational forum on Sunday,September 23, 2018 from 1:45 pm to 4pm at the Laura Bush Community Library, 9411 Bee Caves Rd, Austin, TX 78733. It is free and open to the public, but space is limited, and reservations are required at  https://bit.ly/2QdYmKE.

This educational forum, sponsored by APAPA Austin Chapter, Committee 100 and 8 other Asian American organizations, will provide an opportunity for the scientific research community, in particular, the Asian American research community, to have a direct dialogue with subject matter experts and community leaders. The important and potentially dangerous impacts of the economic espionage act and other related policies and how AsianAmericans can protect themselves and their institutions will be discussed with the following program:

Event sponsored by:

• Asian Pacific Islander American Public Affairs Association - Austin Chapter

• Committee of 100

• Asian/Asian American Faculty and Staff Association at UT Austin

• Cooperative League of the USA

• UCA

• Austin Chinese American Network

• Network of Asian American Organizations

• Indian American Coalition of Texas

• Korean American

• Texas Association of Chinese Entrepreneurs
