- A new private intelligence report by Strider Technologies uncovered that, in the last two decades, at least 154 Chinese scientists working on government-sponsored research at Los Alamos National Laboratory have been recruited to conduct scientific work in China.
- These scientists were recruited back to China to work on developing technologies including deep-earth-penetrating warheads, quiet submarines, drones, and hypersonic missiles.
- Greg Levesque, the lead author of the report and co-founder of Strider, emphasized the talent transfer’s “direct threat to U.S. national security.
- According to Levesque, “China is playing a game that we are not prepared for, and we need to really begin to mobilize.”
