Top-tier academic journals such as Nature, Science, the New England Journal of Medicine, and the Lancet have published reams of research funded by the Chinese Communist Party in recent years, a Washington Examiner review found. 

This Chinese-funded research has proven useful to critics of President Donald Trump, some of whom cited it extensively in a recent, well-publicized critique of his Department of Energy. The critique, alongside the favorable media coverage it attracted, failed to disclose its use of CCP-funded research or the fact that the Chinese government is known to fund research that aligns with its economic and security interests.
