Massachusetts is home to top-ranked universities including Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It also hosts military contractors such as weapon maker Raytheon and defense system provider Mercury Systems.As part of the China Initiative, officials said they had met with local companies and colleges last week to encourage them to bring suspected instances of espionage to the attention of federal investigators.
Lelling said the large number of Chinese nationals living in Boston also made the city a potential espionage target, but officials added that most were in the US for legitimate reasons, such as study.

OK soylentnews, now you're really creeping me out: "military contractors such as weapon maker Raytheon and defense system provider Mercury Systems"
I worked for both. I've only had 3 post-degree professional jobs! Are you going to post the rest of my resume?

Baby killer! Monster! I bet you jack off to a photo of Dick Cheney!
Okay, maybe not. You're probably just an engineer trying to make a living.
But that's not as much fun as calling you a baby killer. I considered "literally Hitler" but I thought it a little too over the top.
If you dislike me using you as a foil for my jocularity, by all means tell me off. Have a great day!
