Rongxing Li, 56, who taught at the university for 18 years, was internationally famous for his mapping skills, which enabled him to help guide NASA rovers on Mars in 2003 and 2009. Also known as Ron Li, the professor grew up in China. Last year, he quit his job at OSU and vanished.
Li obtained access to Department of Defense technical information by offering a $36.9 million proposal to NASA for imaging work for a 2020 Mars mission. Li said in his 2014 proposal that he knew no Chinese scientists. However, OSU researchers became alarmed because Li had taken a 2012 sabbatical at Tongji University in Shanghai.
Investigators found Li was lying; he had all sorts of contact with Tongji, even his listing as a professor and as the director of a center for spatial information. Worse yet, they discovered he had worked with Chinese government programs to develop advanced technologies.

Sounds like this was a deep plant spy.
Deep undercover.
Something like Illegals Program
Beijing fiercely denies it. Much of the world ignores it. But according to analysts and officials, the communist-controlled People’s Republic of China operates the single largest intelligence-gathering apparatus in the world—and its growing appetite for secrets has apparently become insatiable.

Probably a plant, and a spy all along.

If he was a spy, he wouldn't have the mapping skills that he gave NASA and teaching in Uni for that long.

He is Chinese, obviously going back to China to work/live. Just like someone who is born from Poland or UK. Polish goes back to Poland, British goes back to UK.

Sorry, you know this how? My very limited (and yet quite expansive) knowledge on the subject leads me to believe quite the opposite. Any "spy" who's been birthed within an opposing country will be educated, raise a family and work for many, many years in that country and specifically at times in places of importance, such as, yes you guessed it, the Education industry, Government, Military or somewhere else of great importance within the country's intelligence sector.

This is a wholly inaccurate and if I'm honest rather weird statement. Again I must ask where your proof of this is?
