China Recruited Scientists Who Worked At Top US National Security Lab, Report Says

According to an intelligence report published Wednesday, China paid scientists up to $1 million to leave their work on sensitive weapons technologies at the U.S.’ top nuclear lab and develop weapons for China.

At least 13 of the scientists later returned to China through the subversive “talent programs” to advance Chinese research in the deep-earth-penetrating warhead, hypersonic missile, quiet submarine, and drone technologies, according to the report.
