A Chinese researcher at the University of Michigan in the United States died in March after falling from a campus building, and the case is still under investigation.
University police said there is currently no evidence that there is any danger on campus, and they are temporarily treating it as a possible self-harm incident.
China said the researcher may have been under great pressure after being questioned by U.S. law enforcement officers, but the FBI did not say whether it had contacted him.
The incident has also drawn more attention to concerns in the United States about China’s influence and security issues at universities.
In recent years, a small number of Chinese students and researchers at the University of Michigan have been arrested for illegal acts, including smuggling biological materials, secretly filming military sites, and illegal voting.
The U.S. Congress and government have also recently strengthened checks on foreign funding and research security at universities, hoping to reduce the influence of foreign forces on campus and on research work.
