Boeing Needs FOCI Lessons

The story in the Wall Street Journal today describes how the Chinese are buying into space technology in ways that are supposed to be prohibited.  They are using financing of space programs like satellites to get into these most sensitive of activities going on in our national security. 

The whole area is called Foreign Ownership Control and Influence (FOCI) and Boeing knows what that is and how it applies to this kind of situation.  The Industrial Security people in government should be all over this and should have known about it before it got this far.  They are relying on self-reporting and they need to do research instead.
