Judge says case against former University of Kansas professor Feng ‘Franklin’ Tao had nothing to do with espionage. A former University of Kansas professor who was accused of hiding work he did in China has avoided prison in the latest setback to a controversial Trump-era crackdown on Chinese influence in academia.

Robinson said Tao’s single remaining conviction for making a false statement did not warrant a prison sentence and there was no evidence he shared proprietary information with anyone in China. “This is not an espionage case,” Robinson said. “Maybe that’s what the…
