Mysterious deaths and disappearances in the US and China raise questions about a possible broader pattern
The case of the deaths and disappearances of American scientists has taken on a new dimension, as a similar pattern is also being observed in China, adding to the complexity of the issue and raising suspicions about a broader phenomenon.
In the United States, these cases have stirred up the authorities, with the House Oversight Committee launching a formal investigation. Recent developments have made the issue even more complicated, giving it a broader international dimension.
In addition to the 12 American scientists, questions have also been raised about the fate of several Chinese scientists. At least 10 of them have lost their lives under suspicious circumstances. They worked in fields ranging from drones to military artificial intelligence and potential conflict scenarios in Taiwan. The causes of death include suicide, sudden illness and road accidents.
These incidents have sparked a wide debate over whether we are dealing with isolated tragedies or a coordinated pattern.
In Washington, at least 11 cases involving scientists involved in sensitive sectors such as nuclear technology, advanced weapons and space research are currently under review. US President Donald Trump has described the developments as “quite serious”, expressing hope that they may be coincidences. Meanwhile, the FBI has launched investigations into these cases.
In China, domestic and international media reports indicate that at least nine scientists working in similar fields have died in recent years. While many cases have been attributed to accidents or sudden illnesses, some remain unexplained. Their ages ranged from 26 to 68.
One of the most widely analyzed cases is that of Feng Yanghe, a 38-year-old professor at the National University of Defense Technology, who died in a car accident in Beijing in July 2023. He was working on advanced simulation models related to possible scenarios involving Taiwan. According to official reports, he was returning from a meeting at around 2:35 a.m. when the accident occurred.
A Chinese government-affiliated scholarly platform described his death as a “sacrifice in the line of duty,” a phrase commonly used for military personnel. He was later buried in the Babaoshan Cemetery, a site usually reserved for important state figures.
According to a researcher who follows military developments in China, several elements of this case seem unusual, particularly the timing of the accident and the manner of official reporting. He noted that Feng was a key figure in developing artificial intelligence simulations for possible scenarios in Taiwan.
His case is considered part of a wider pattern. Other Chinese scientists who have lost their lives in various circumstances include specialists in microelectronics, chemistry, data and space technology.
Many of them worked in areas considered strategically important, such as hypersonic technology, military artificial intelligence, and advanced weapons systems.
However, there is no confirmed evidence to date that countries such as the US, China, Russia or Iran are conducting coordinated operations to target scientists. At the same time, historical precedents – such as allegations of Israeli operations against Iranian nuclear experts – indicate that such actions have occurred in other contexts.
Investigations are ongoing and authorities are trying to determine whether these cases are linked or represent independent events.
