Bush could stop this if he wanted to. Remember that when thinking of China deals.

This is SOP for China. They will have JDAM technology with this deal.

They will have technology for sintering (i.e., hot-pressing metallic powders into a solid shape) magnets. Let's try to be a wee bit more precise than the technologically-illiterate press is.

As for JDAM technology as a whole--I would be extremely surprised if they didn't have the basic technologies already. JDAM uses GPS, which is a publicly-available service. The description of the JDAM concept goes back at least ten years. It's not a huge amount of work to make a bomb that steers itself to a prespecified target using GPS signals.

Peter Leitner's warnings are looming larger and larger...and the broken security-protections process of CFIUS has shown up again and again since this major debacle.

CNOOC, DPW, the list goes on and on. CFIUS is purely a rubber stamp.
