Report: China Paid U.S. Lab Scientists Up to $1 Million for Research, Including Military Tech

[Breitbart] A security firm called Strider Technologies published a report this week that said China paid leading scientists at America’s Los Alamos National Laboratory hefty sums of money to conduct research for the Chinese Communist government, including research with military applications that could threaten U.S. national security.

The report, titled The Los Alamos Club: How the People’s Republic of China Recruited Leading Scientists from Los Alamos National Laboratory to Advance its Military Programs, offered a rather straightforward answer to its titular question — China recruited those scientists by offering them up to a million dollars each, and at least 154 of them accepted.

The Strider report is an extraordinarily detailed look at a problem that has been discussed at length in recent years, China’s extremely aggressive “talent recruitment” programs. The People’s Republic of China puts a great deal of effort into recruiting talented foreigners to serve its purposes, often without emigrating to China or leaving the positions they hold in free nations. Often, but not always, these recruitment programs target foreign citizens of Chinese heritage.

The most notorious of these initiatives is called the Thousand Talents Program (TTP). Many of the scientists in the Strider report were involved in TTP or its youth wing.

China’s recruitment activities often look a lot like espionage or technology theft, and sometimes participants are prosecuted for such, including employees of the Los Alamos National Laboratory. Other scientists and academics have been disciplined or fired by U.S. institutions for failing to disclose the full extent of their work for China. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) in April 2021 told a Senate committee that over 500 federally funded scientists were under investigation for possible links to China and other foreign powers.

#1 You lose contract bid? Stuff we already knew. Sorry, no book sale from me. Too many 'Deep State' connections, Bill Priesap being one:

..."Many of the scientists were later lured back to China to help make advances in such technologies as deep-earth-penetrating warheads, hypersonic missiles, quiet submarines and drones, according to the report.”

We are literally financing our own destruction in every possible way. It’s not surprising that Communist China would want to plant its own people at Los Alamos. The mindboggling thing is that they were able to plant over 150 of them. No waiting."

"The Trump administration tried to put a halt to this in 2018 with its “China Initiative,” but Biden undid this plan, claiming racism was behind it, and suggesting such efforts were hate crimes."

#3 I know I have shared this previously, but I'm 1/3 of the way thru Kinzer's 'Poisoner in Chief.' Kinzer does a thorough and quite fascinating deep-dive into many of the origins of this very disturbing topic.

Forgive my repetitious repetitives.

#4 There's an unreported but well known scam going on in China where these tiger parents are drilling their boys to be selected for an all expenses paid education in America. Officials too are in on it, they recommend the young chinaman to be enrolled in institutes and the chinaman enjoys a full education, reporting this, espying that. The officials who are handlers even have a cut in salaries or enjoy favours sometimes. The chinaman's motive is not the espionage itself. No, it's being called back when he has proved himself worthy, and elevated to party approved posts in the scientific establishment. There is much prestige and privilege in it for the whole family and an a secure government career for the chinaman. Near unlimited grants and whole institutes and infra built around what the clever chinaman has claimed will take China where America won't be getting for another few years! Again, the officials who approved the chinaman get cuts. And business is good. There's no 'getting caught' unless the chinaman produces absolute zilch. As long as there's some output, the officials conclude the 'science is progressing'.

Now some, who are jumping through hoops in China only to get out of it, they renege later and the CCP even goes after them. Unless they can keep them fed with bullshit. Or data that needs to keep coming. In that case too, nothing conclusive or really productive is exchanged.

You can gauge for yourselves from this, what would be the level of exploitation of your research and the quality of their assimilation of it.

The ones who sell out entire schematics, software code, research on your armament and jets etc., I'll bet they all wear uniforms or suits.
