U.S. authorities are reaching out to colleges and universities across the United States as part of a wide-reaching campaign to stem the wholesale theft of technology and trade secrets by researchers tapped by China, according to emails obtained by The Associated Press.

The emails, obtained through records requests to public universities in 50 states, highlight concerns of the vulnerabilities of universities that recruit foreign talent, who often are involved with cutting-edge research.
