China is using the computers in violation of export agreements in the development of nuclear weapons, missiles, satellites, spacecraft, submarines, aircraft, military systems, command and control systems, communications, and microwave and laser sensors. The Department of Justice is investigating Silicon Graphics and another unnamed company for improper exports of supercomputers. Hughes Electronics and Loral Space illegally transferred technology that helped China improve its military rockets and operations, including the design and reliability of its ballistic missiles and nose cones. The Dept. of Justice is investigating both companies, as well as Motorola. The technology allows multiple warheads to be mounted on one missile and fired at several cities in one launch.
China knows how to miniaturize warheads and deploy several at a time from a single missile.
That begins this fall.
