Researchers Trained in U.S., After Returning to China, Are Driving Military Breakthroughs for Beijing
A new report puts at 162 the number who did research at just one major American laboratory and returned to China to help its military modernize.
Some 162 researchers conducting sensitive military research for the U.S. at Los Alamos have returned to China, where they have contributed to major breakthroughs in the PLA’s military modernization, a new report discloses.
The report, issued last week by a data software company called Strider Technologies, shows that the breakthroughs include scientific advancements in “hypersonics, deep-earth penetrating warheads, unmanned autonomous vehicles, jet engines, and submarine noise reduction.” These advancements have important military value and in some instances, such as hypersonics, contributed to China developing more advanced weaponry than America.
