NBC News acquired a report from the software company Strider detailing the Chinese scientists who have used taxpayer funds to conduct research at the Los Alamos National Laboratory and now work on military technology in China. The Laboratory is operated by the Department of Energy (DOE) and is linked with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), as numerous researchers are affiliated with Chinese institutions. When NBC questioned the DOE about the report, DOE responded that “international collaboration is critical to its efforts.”
From The National Pulse:
Despite being a key institution for America’s national security, the laboratory appears to have deep ties to the Chinese Communist Party and its military. The relationship is “supercharging China’s threat to American national security,” argues the report. ... The significant majority, 80 percent, of Chinese-born researchers were recruited [by the CCP] via talent programs, which are efforts led by Beijing to lure Chinese-born scientists residing in the West to come home. Oftentimes, the Chinese Communist Party pays researchers nearly $1 million to return to China, using the knowledge and experience they gained at taxpayer expense in the U.S. to boost the regime’s military capabilities.
