I can understand Temple's decision to put him on leave, but stripping away his chairman title seems like too far. Either Xi resigns or appoint an interim chairman until the end of the trial would be a better option IMO. So far, I haven't seen statement from Temple. By the way, there is another charge against another Chinese-born U.S. professor (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3227518/Renowned-U-S-scientist-worked-NASA-Mars-missions-resigns-disappears-FBI-investigates-suspicions-shared-defence-secrets-China.html http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3227518/Renowned-U-S...). In this case the "evidences" so far seems very strong against the professor from the public opinion, at least raising suspicious. Of course, his fate remains unknown until the court decides.
