Dragon's bet: China calls on its scientists from the US to design advanced drones

China has begun recalling scientists of Chinese origin working in US secret defense projects, prestigious universities and colleges. In 2021, 1415 Chinese scientists returned home from America. However, 1162 scientists returned in 2020. The Chinese Communist government called it a talent program to recruit scientists.

According to a secret report, 154 scientists who returned to China worked at the Los Alamos Institute, which managed a secret weapons program in the United States. America's nuclear program runs at Los Alamos. Now these scientists have tasked China to develop advanced drones and missiles for it. China has increased its arms exports to several countries in Africa, including Middle East Asia, by 25 percent in the past two years.

Chinese government's secret campaign for talent transfer

According to a secret US report, China has conducted a secret campaign for talent transfer. Under it, the Chinese communist government secretly sends money to some scientists working in America. At the same time, China keeps scientists working in America on high salaries after they come back. This scientist resides under the Ministry of Defence.

US spends, China benefits: FBI

FBI Director Christopher Wray says the US government pays for the salaries of Chinese scientists doing research at institutions here. Many Chinese scientists secretly send the information here to China or even return to China. The FBI arrested 5 Chinese scientists in Los Alamos in the past few days.

Chinese drones are in high demand in the arm market

Drones have the highest demand in arms markets worldwide. Other countries also supply the market for fighter jets, missiles, tanks and assault rifles. China has the most upgraded WJ-700 drone.
