House GOP demands investigation into Chinese ties to top US nuclear and weapons site

House Republicans are calling on the Biden administration to investigate the Chinese government’s economic espionage efforts at U.S. research labs following a damning report about Beijing’s apparent extensive efforts at the Los Alamos National Laboratory.

The Republicans wrote to “express our serious concerns” about a new report seeming to show decadeslong Chinese government-linked infiltration into New Mexico’s Los Alamos National Laboratory, a U.S. weapons and nuclear research site, “and to learn what steps your offices are taking to protect our critical research from malign talent recruitment programs.”

The Tuesday letter, led by Rep. Michael Waltz (R-FL) and 10 other House Republicans, was addressed to Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm and White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Director Arati Prabhakar.

Waltz told the Washington Examiner, “The Chinese Communist Party, particularly under Xi Jinping, explicitly aims to become the dominant world superpower in the next decade, and they aim to do it through technology.” He said the Chinese government is “rapidly passing us in those areas because they are stealing their way to the top — and a key avenue for which they are stealing their way to the top is through our research labs.”

Hazel O’Leary.

Obliged nuclear facilities to change the color on their IDs which represented clearance levels to a single color regardless of clearance.

Said it was racist, iirc.

So much of our government both right and left has been compromised (bought) by the ChiComs that it is impossible to even imagine a solution.

***I give us 10 years before we are under the domain of China!***

We need to consider the possibility that the Chinese already exercise some control over our national policies. Note how tyranny is creeping up on us daily just as it did in 'independent' Hong Kong.

On Congressional vulnerabilities, note Senate biggie Mitch McConnell whose wife - a Chinese - operates a multi million dollar global shipping company with ships supplied by China and likely plenty of shipping contracts. Like Joe B, he is vulnerable to manipulation and addicted to wealth.

No, it really isn't. I've got an active imagination. I'll say no more.
