China relies heavily on American technology for its hypersonic missile programs

Let's stay away from each other. Stop robbing Chinese talents. Okay?

You can put restrictions on emigration. USA is built on immigration

I don't think Chinese talents in US feel being robbed.

Japanese-American Incarceration During World War II

In his speech to Congress, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt declared that the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, was "a date which will live in infamy." The attack launched the United States fully into the two theaters of World War II – Europe and the Pacific. Prior to Pearl...

The technology of America is so superior, but why did China develop hypersonic missile a few years ahead of America?
who is lying?

This is a stupid argument. The base technologies are already there. It was a matter of finance and priorities. And a few yrs earlier deployment does not mean China's hypersonic technologies are superior.

Interestingly the recent news of China recruiting UK retired pilots has the British up in arms.

Tell yourself whatever you want to help you sleep at night.

you need to fight a war or sell it to other countries before you decide your military superiority

Don't worry, we will give you a chance if not now but will not be too later if you dare to fight us when you unite Taiwan.

Research groups for China's hypersonics and missile program are buying specialized American technology produced by firms funded by the Pentagon, according to a Washington Post investigation released Monday.

The Post found over 300 sales since 2019 of advanced software products from nearly 50 U.S. firms to research groups involved in China's missile development program. Many of the firms that developed these products received millions of dollars in grants from the Department of Defense. The companies are finding their way around U.S. export bans by selling to private Chinese middleman distributors.

"It's very disturbing, because the bottom line is that technology that can be used for military hypersonics was funded by U.S. taxpayers, through the U.S. government, and ended up in China," University of Colorado Center for National Security Initiatives director Iain Boyd, who conducts experimental research on hypersonics, told the Post.

The report reveals the U.S. government's struggle to keep American military innovations out of the hands of the Chinese Communist Party. The acquired commercial software—the results of decades of research—will save the Chinese military time and resources as it strives to outpace the United States in a race to create the most effective hypersonic weapons.

"In this case the American technology is superior—we can't do certain things without foreign technology," a Chinese scientist whose lab conducts testing for hypersonic vehicles told the Post. "There isn't the same technical foundation."

The Defense Department has strict export controls designed to prevent products that threaten national security from reaching China.

"U.S. export controls require a license for the export of any type of software, hardware, or technology to China if there is knowledge that it would be used to develop a missile or other item used for weapons of mass destruction," Kevin Wolf, a former senior official at the Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security, told the Post. "And that license would generally be denied."

American firms are skirting these safeguards by blindly selling advanced software to private Chinese firms. Some of those firms openly advertise their relationships with Chinese weapon and military groups, the Post found.

"What we've always told companies is you cannot self-blind," Matthew Borman, the Commerce Department's deputy assistant secretary for export administration, told the Post. "You can't just say, ‘Oh, I'm selling it to a distributor, I don't know what they're going to do with it.' Especially if it's a party where it's readily ascertainable that they are a supplier to the Chinese military."

The Post found that two of the U.S. firms—Arizona-based Zona Technology and California-headquartered Metacomp Technologies—sold software to the Chinese Academy of Aerospace Aerodynamics, which played a key role in designing China's 2021 hypersonic missile test. Both companies are also beneficiaries of the Pentagon's Small Business Innovation Research grant program, which incentivizes development of American defense technology.

Yea my cat is also buying hypersonic US tech.

The software is Microsoft Windows.

To calculate many calculations of Hypersonic missiles, you need Microsoft Excel.

And both MS Excel and MS Windows are made in the USA.

I think the whole China will be screwed after this.

You are right, American technology was stolen by China, so not even a model was made

Not surprising. China also recruited US former aircraft carrier staffs to create its own aircraft carrier training program. It looks almost identical.
