Chinese scientist says move from Michigan was not prompted by campus death
Neurobiologist Ye Bing says his decision to leave the University of Michigan for Nanjing University was not driven by the death of fellow Chinese scholar Wang Danhao. He also rejected a link to United States policy under the Trump administration, according to the South China Morning Post.
Neurobiologist Ye Bing has said his decision to return to China was not prompted by the death of another Chinese scholar at the University of Michigan. The South China Morning Post reported that Ye is leaving the United States to join Nanjing University after a long period at the Michigan institution. The source said Wang Danhao died on the same campus six months earlier.
It added that Wang had been interviewed by officers from the US Department of Homeland Security one day before his death. Ye said his decision was not influenced by that death. He also said the move was unrelated to US policy under the administration of President Donald Trump.
The supplied material does not give further details about Ye’s new role, the circumstances of Wang’s death or the policies he referred to. It includes only the beginning of a quotation from Ye.
