The role of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in helping People's Liberation Army(PLA) of CCP

on
bioRxiv claimed that it is operated by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSH).


Cold Spring Harbor Asia

As indicated on the official webpage of Cold Spring Harbor Asia(CSHA), as its world wide strategy, CSH developed Cold Spring Harbor Conferences Asia (a/k/a Cold Spring Harbor Asia, CSHCA,or CSHA) centered in Suzhou, People's Republic of China (PRC). It is claimed that CSHA’s principal aim is to develop and operate an annul program of scientific conferences in Asia modeled on the CSH meeting format and style. This program includes large conferences, training workshops and Banbury-style meetings. CSHA program covers a broad spectrum of biomedical research topics, including molecular biology, molecular genetics, neuroscience, cancer, developmental and cell biology, and plant biology. It is claimed that CSHA promotes collaborations both formal and informal, both national and international, between scientists, fostering friendships that extend well beyond the traditional laboratory bench. The official name of CSHA is likely to be or be operated by COLD SPRING HARBOR ASIA (SIP) LTD(official Chinese name "冷泉港亚洲会务（苏州工业园区）有限公司") established on 13th August 2008 with a single investor COLD SPRING HARBOR LABORATORY.





Due to promotion of Bruce Stillman reportedly, CSH started CSHA program in 2007. Mayor Li Yaping of Suzhou Municipal Government presented the "Suzhou Science and Technology Cooperation Contribution Award" to Bruce Stillman on 26th Feb 2018. Li Yaping became the deputy secretary of the CCP Suzhou Municipal Committee and acting mayor in March 2017. In January 2018, he became the mayor of Suzhou Municipal Government at the second session of the 16th Suzhou Municipal  Congress.
 It was claimed that since the official launch of Cold Spring Harbor Asia in April 2010, it had held more than 100 high-end academic conferences and 6 summer training courses. The invited speakers are all well-known scholars and academic leaders active in the forefront of international science, including 12 Nobel Prize winners, 7 of whom won this highest honor only after publicly publishing their award-winning research at the Cold Spring Harbor in Suzhou. In addition, Cold Spring Harbor Asia has also invited more than 300 academicians of the Academy of Sciences of various countries, 1,500 professors from elite universities in the top 100 in the world, and 6,500 of the most promising young scientists to Suzhou. Through Cold Spring Harbor Asia, Chinese scientists active in the forefront of the biopharmaceutical industry have focused their attention on Suzhou, such as Shi Yigong(施一公), Wang Xiaodong(王晓东), Xie Xiaoliang(谢晓亮) and other scientists with international influence. In February 2015, the Cold Spring Harbor Asia DNA Learning Center was established in the park and classes officially commenced in April 2016.
Though it was claimed that the work of establishing CSHA started in 2007, there was surely a lot of paper work to do to establish a company completely owned by foreigners in PRC,very difficult work, such as approval of the project by government, an accountant's report over its paid-in capital, etc., in PRC. An accountancy firm in Suzhou listed what need to be provided for reporting on paid-in capital of a foreignly-owned company like COLD SPRING HARBOR ASIA (SIP) LTD on its website, such as  Copy of the approval certificate of the Foreign Trade and Economic Commission(外经委) or the reply of the Bureau of Commerce, Original approval document of the foreign exchange business of the capital project(资本金项目外汇业务核准件) of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange, Foreign investment confirmation letter(外方出资情况询证函) from State Administration of Foreign Exchange of PRC (国家外汇管理局).
