The U.S. government for decades has expressed concerns about China’s proliferation of nuclear- and missile-related technologies to other countries, with recent focus on the threat of Chinese acquisition of U.S.-origin nuclear technology. (See CRS In Focus IF11050, New U.S. Policy Regarding Nuclear Exports to China.) Official U.S. government sources indicate that the Chinese government has ended its direct involvement in the transfer of nuclear- and missile-related items, but China-based companies and individuals continue to export goods relevant to those items, particularly to Iran and North Korea. U.S. officials also have raised concerns about entities operating in China that provide other forms of support for proliferation-sensitive activities, such as illicit finance and money laundering.
In the past several years, the United States has sanctioned China-based entities and individuals for proliferation-related activities:
On June 6, 2023, Treasury imposed sanctions on several Chinese entities for procuring items for use in Iran’s ballistic missile program.
On February 26, 2025, the State Department announced sanctions on six China-based entities for involvement in“the procurement of key components by entities connected to Iran’s ... ballistic missile programs.
On May 14, 2025, the Department of the Treasury (Treasury) announced sanctions on four Chinese individuals and six China-based entities for their “involvement in efforts to help the Iranian regime domestically source the manufacturing of critical materials needed for Tehran’s ballistic missile program.”

BTY, Congress receives reports of this type of report continually from USNI and others. I'll speculate that they are deleted without reading by offices of leftists.
We should all keep this in mind when we go shopping. I personally would rather be a minimalist, have less stuff, but buy things from the US and from nations who don't want to supplant and destroy us.
So what were the free traitors thinking when they sent our manufacturing, technology, money, and tax base over there.
Oh, I almost forgot.
Does Wal Mart Mislead On What It Imports From China?
Post 2, "And the reason that I should lay awake nights worrying about what Wal-Mart imports is???"
Post 5, "Maybe. Why do I care? Is it illegal? Immoral? Unconstitutional? Would I get a better deal otherwise?"
Post 9, "yeah whatever....just go ahead and bash WalMart. This is how the world works and I kind of like the low prices myself...."
Post 30, "but the pseudo communists always come out of the woodwork in a WalMart thread...." (you have to follow the thread to get this one).
Post 33, this person turned out to be a prophet, "It is gonna be interesting when we need to make tanks to fight the Chinese? We have exported our manufacturing base."
Post 56, "Why is this even important? Why should we care what % of their inventory they import whether it be from China or any other country?"
Post 79, "Translation: I won't answer this because my answer would call for protectionism and this would lead to another debacle along the lines of that which occurred when Smoot-Hawley was enacted to "fix" the economy in the 1930's."
Post 94, in reply to post 79 above, "That sums up the mindset of the Wal-Mart bashing brigade here."
China June trade surplus swells five-fold
Post 255, "Why should I pay higher prices for any item, just to satisfy someone else's concept of fair trade."
Post 287, "This applies to the anti-free traders also. USA - we've got ours, screw you. No you can't have access to our markets, we want to keep you poor."
Post 301, "So far I have been accused of being a communist chinese plant to influence Free Republic for taking the free trade position. (So far) Now Free Trade advocates are being lumped with the Islamofacists? I'm building quite the resume!"
“Just in case you were wondering where they got all those missiles.”
And it’s easy to think that Iran could buy a nuclear bomb rather than having to make one from raw materials.
China, “Hey, we will ship you a few components and fly in a couple engineers. Then all you need a lathe and a 3D printer.”
