How the Pentagon is FUNDING China's hypersonic missiles: US firms handed grants by the DoD are selling US tech to firms that pass it on to Beijing army
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] - The Washington Post has uncovered evidence of more than 300 sales of U.S.-origin technology to dozens of entities involved in China's hypersonic missiles
- Investigators analyzed records dating back to 2019, and found out the sales - often through intermediaries - were carried out by almost 50 firms
- Under U.S. law, companies cannot sell technology to China for the use in their missile programs, and saying they were unaware is no shield
- Analysts say that the controls need to be tightened up, noting that the U.S. and China are involved in a hypersonic arms race
