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
2022-10-19
[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

#6  No problem. You see they have a verbal agreement that they won’t give the tech to China. They crossed their heart and everything! So nothing to worry about!

#5  Ah, the goofballs are at work again.

Dron referred to “art at inflated prices” — which seems to refer to the corrupt Biden practice of laundering Chinese communist “donations” to the Biden through the practice of selling Hunter’s paintings (no, this isn’t made up) to anonymous buyers. I linked to a video about a NYC art dealer quizzed about Hunter’s paintings.

Hunter, is that you?

#1  U.S. firms supplying Chinese entities with their software or equipment - often with the use of middlemen.

Wait. Do the pay offs involve inflated value art pieces?
