The committee's finding that China stole sensitive technology from U.S. weapons research labs is alarming.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
In its report, the Cox Committee concludes that China is using stolen U.S. design information to speed up its deployment of a new nuclear missile force.
The U.S. government knew that China wanted to acquire sensitive U.S. technology, and instead of implementing a policy to prevent them from acquiring the information, the government all but gave them an invitation to take our equipment and designs.

Why did the Clinton Administration continue to liberalize export controls on sensitive technologies even after it learned that China had stolen designs?
No more turning a blind eye to Chinese spies in our nuclear labs. No more keeping silent about Chinese slave labor camps.
