Isn't this the strategy that helped China develop nuclear weapons?
- eesmith 9y agoThe Soviets explicitly helped the early Chinese nuclear weapons program. There are reports, like the Cox Report, that China used espionage to help improve their weapon and ballistic missile designs. Other discredit at least some of the veracity of that report. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cox_Report https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cox_Report . If there has been leak of nuclear secrets to China then Chinese espionage is much better than Soviet espionage, where we were able to find several spies. Wen Ho Lee received $1.6M because of misconduct and misrepresentations of the US government when they accused him of nuclear espionage. So it isn't like the US isn't trying.
