How 162 Chinese Scientists at Los Alamos Brought Critical Tech Back to China: Nicholas Eftimiades
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
We have, out of Los Alamos, what they call the Los Alamos Club, we've had 116 ethnic Chinese who have worked with classified clearances on critical technologies who have gone back to China.
And we have been able to identify some of the areas, including nuclear submarines and weapons systems that they've worked on back in China, because they publish on it.
And so we've been able to track everything that they've worked on.
Is this illegal?
No.
They say, I want to go back to China.
China's recognizing their citizenship and go back to it.
Technically, should they be taking back the classified knowledge and using that in the development of China's, in this case, military weapon systems?
No.
They shouldn't be.
But we're paralyzed as a bureaucracy in doing anything about this.
We have a similar situation with Canada.
Two dozen Canadian...
Many military pilots have been in China training the Chinese PLA Air Force.
I mean training them in NATO combat tactics.
So we don't have case law that says, "Hey, that's against the law.
We know you're getting $300,000 a year, but you can't do that."
