Years after one of the most famous cases of a scientist working with the Chinese for the purpose of espionage took place, we have a sobering report from the U.S. Senate (see U.S. Fails to Counter Chinese Efforts to Recruit Scientists, Acquire Research, Senate Report Says) that says Chinese recruitment has not stopped and is still successful. That includes both the collection of unclassified and classified information. In my first book, The Chinese Information War (McFarland Press) I referenced Congressional sources saying the Chinese had 80% of U.S. nuclear weapons designs which came from those same labs. When will they ever learn?
We have to ask ourselves who the Department of Energy works for. Is there anyone there who thinks the national labs are run by the academic community? Do they think the labs are immune from investigation or change? These are serious issues that continue to be a national disgrace.
