China's 'espionage plot' at a US weapons and nuclear lab: Damning report says Beijing infiltrated New Mexico facility for DECADES by recruiting top scientists to report back information - and now Republicans demand an investigation

[MAIL] Beijing recruited leading scientists from a top United States nuclear laboratory in a decades-long plot to advance its own military, a damning report has suggested.
"Shocked! Shocked, that there is espionage going on here."
Now Congressional Republicans have demanded an investigation into the claims at least 162 scientists who worked at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico returned to China to 'support a variety of domestic research and development programs' between 1987 and 2021.

The report suggests that the majority of the scientists were from China and the recipients of Beijing-backed professional development and scholarship programs.

It is the latest worrying development that has seen the Chinese Communist Party looking to increase its influence in the U.S. The GOP have also demanded oversight of China buying farmland near military bases in North Dakota.

Weapons research is among the projects that the former US-based scientists are said to have worked on since returning to China.

The recent findings by Strider Technologies were brought to new light in a letter to the Biden administration spearheaded by Rep. Michael Waltz of Florida.

Waltz's Wednesday letter said China's ruling Communist Party goes after 'seemingly innocuous key civilian technologies, acquires them illicitly, and exploits the “dual-use” potential of these technologies to build up their military capabilities.'

#2 They've got reporting from Los Alamos National Laboratory. We've got reporting from Wuhan.

#3 We have just as many national labs as when the military was at its max in 1960. Welfare for the gifted. I'd close the place but it remains a ~~dump~~ storage site for high level contaminated materials since they've dragged their feet on the mountain in NV. Not that its stop the National Forest Service from trying to burn it down.

#5 ...more like 'attempted' given how deep the Russians have penetrated various govt agencies. It was a rep based upon Hollyweird more than reality.

#7 ...you weren't around in the 50s, 60, 70s were you. The Chinese were still recovering from their 'Great Leap Forward' disaster.

#8 Los Alamos was penetrated from the very beginning by the Communist physicists who worked on the bombs. That tradition continued when Chinese Communists were brought in with studiously careless inattention the consequences.

#9 I wish I remembered calculus and rocket science like I do history and politics. IIRC I was playing Everquest and listening to Art Bell... had to been around Y2K and I remember Los Alamos had a Chinese Spy problem back then. I also remember that nothing came of it except investigations and reports.
