MORE THAN THAT

China paid scientists up to $1 million to leave their work on sensitive weapons technologies at the U.S.’ top nuclear lab and develop weapons for China, according to an intelligence report published Wednesday.
The report from Strider Technologies details Beijing’s campaign to embed 162 Chinese scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratories, where the U.S. first developed nuclear weapons, in sensitive U.S.-funded research over the last three decades. At least 13 of the scientists later returned to China through the subversive “talent programs” to advance Chinese research in deep-earth-penetrating warhead, hypersonic missile, quiet submarine and drone technologies, according to the report.
The talent programs present a “direct threat to U.S. national security,” Greg Levesque, a co-founder of Strider and the lead author of the report, told CBS News. “China is playing a game that we are not prepared for, and we need to really begin to mobilize.”
At least one of the Chinese scientists held a “Q Clearance,” providing access to top-secret information related to U.S. national security, according to the report.
“Our national security and defense require fierce protection of critical technology development,” a spokesperson from the Department of Energy told the Daily Caller News Foundation, adding that the agency is committed to safeguarding the private research that “underwrites the United States’ technology leadership.”
The report did not identify or make allegations of illegal activity by Los Alamos or any individuals named. However, a former Los Alamos employee pleaded guilty in 2020 to misrepresenting his involvement in China’s Thousand Talents Program.
The Justice Department described the program as “an initiative by the Chinese government to recruit people with access to and knowledge of foreign technology and intellectual property.” Often, China takes advantage of privileged access to U.S. research through the talent programs, stealing formulas, processes and other innovations for Chinese labs, according to a 2019 bipartisan Senate report.
The number of Chinese students, researchers and scientists who return to China has increased dramatically over the past decade, the Senate report stated.
Anyone who’s worked at the Labs knows this!
It’s like working in Beijing
They ALL have Q clearances
Cuz itz WACIST if they dont, got it?
So Sayeth the US Federal Judgeocracy
You can repeat this same thing 1000 times in every major American industry.
Lots of Chinese names on the directories of LANL. https://phonebook.lanl.gov. 22 Wangs listed, 19 Lius. Have to search by name, can’t do a free-for-all. Didn’t find any Fang Fangs.
Anything can be bought, its only about how much $$$$. Even Loyalty is always negotiable. Want a mansion on Martha’s Vineyard? What secrets do you have to sell?
This was news when FReeper quidam was posting. The penetration was total.
What China is doing in South America will blow your mind. Its never spoken of but may turn out to be even bigger than their exploitation of Africa. From this administration, crickets of course. Good old Hunter and Daddy.
The USA is for sale and as long as the traitor citizens of the USA and their companies get their cut they’re happy to see the greatest nation in the world destroyed.
of course
also they work to place their agents in our labs
(and vice-versa)
Brazil
Their lives are forfeit.
All the news ... SMH. It’s as if US has a death wish.
Not just LANL or goverment lab(s), but also ones who reach high levels of technical position in industry. A Chinese national I worked with at Dow Chemical was arrested and jailed for passing Dow technology to actors in China. I am sure it is the same in any other large company who hire foreign nationals.
