This was not a handful of isolated papers. I found dozens connecting VA awards, facilities, researchers or data to Chinese institutions.
The largest example begins with $676,570,952—the “Total Award Amount” VA lists for the Million Veteran Program.

The taxpayer-funded system is built from the DNA and linked medical information of more than one million American veterans.
Two 2023 studies using Million Veteran Program data included Minxian Wang of the Beijing Institute of Genomics and China National Center for Bioinformation.
One analyzed 173,996 veterans. The other analyzed 461,669 veterans and approximately 25 million genetic variants.
