- The Washington Post has uncovered evidence of more than 300 sales of U.S.-origin technology to dozens of entities involved in China’s hypersonic missiles
- Investigators analyzed records dating back to 2019, and found out the sales – often through intermediaries – were carried out by almost 50 firms
- Under U.S. law, companies cannot sell technology to China for the use in their missile programs, and saying they were unaware is no shield
- Analysts say that the controls need to be tightened up, noting that the U.S. and China are involved in a hypersonic arms race
American firms funded by the Pentagon are selling their technology to Chinese companies involved in hypersonic missiles, according to a new analysis.
Under U.S. law, the sale of American products to China is banned if there is knowledge or even reasonable suspicion that they will be used for developing a missile.
Yet an investigation by The Washington Post, published on Monday, found numerous examples of U.S. firms supplying Chinese entities with their software or equipment – often with the use of middlemen.
