Global tensions grow as Chinese rocket scientist defects to the West

His escape from Beijing has allowed Britain and the US to accelerate defensive programmes against the use of hypersonic missiles. It could also take China two years to tweak its systems and "render this intelligence ineffective", sources said.

Described as a rocket technician, the Chinese national was attached to the stateowned Aviation Industry Corp of China, where he helped develop a mid-range hypersonic boost-glide vehicle capable of carrying DF-17 missiles to a range of up to 2,000 miles.

Sources say the scientist, in his 30s, is connected with a more recent hypersonic missile delivery system that can circle the globe before descending from space and use heat-seeking technology to strike any target on Earth. Despite his apparent success, however, it was resentment at having been passed over for promotion - rather than political dissent towards his masters in Beijing - which persuaded him to make contact with a British intelligence asset in Hong Kong at the end of September last year. During that first, tentative approach, he told the middleman he possessed detailed information about the hypersonic glide vehicle.

Knowing he faced a firing squad if discovered, he demanded asylum for himself and his wife and child.

Kudos to MI6 for successfully extracting this defector and his family.

The info this scientist has will no doubt prove useful to the west as it continues to develop hypersonic missile systems.

No doubt the US Navy and Royal Navy will be interested in this, and Taiwan as well.

 

Well it's going to 'suck' being a current engineer or scientist working on China's rocketry programs from right about .......... now!

 

I predict more activity than usual by the firing squads.

 

Probably not the experts themselves, they're useful after all. Their 'minders' on the other hand?

She probably wants General Milley to personally return him to China.

 

~ Actually at this point I would not be surprised - sad as that is .

 

No doubt about that. Off to the re-education camps if your lucky.

Inside China's 're-education' camps. More than a million Muslims are jailed in China’s gulags. One refugee from Xinjiang province describes the torture, rape, and dehumanization she witnessed.

We should all read this article as it highlights the direction this country is headed for if the leftists are allowed to continue. One would think what's happening with China's re-education camps couldn't happen in this day and age.....but there it is.

 

It's sick.

 

~ It's already started in the USA. Parents are just realizing what had happened ...

 

The thing about Chinese defectors is and hour later you want more of them. Know what I mean?
