Funding our own demise? China’s hypersonic missile program being funded by U.S. taxpayers as Beijing uses specialized tech made by firms Pentagon payrolls

 As the Pentagon struggles to develop its own hypersonic missile capability, China's program is far more advanced - by years - and that is thanks in large part to the use of specialized technology obtained from firms funded by the Department of Defense, an explosive new report claims.

The Washington Post has uncovered several examples of American firms supplying Chinese companies and operations with equipment and/or software

• despite U.S. export controls that prevent sales or resales to foreign entities deemed a threat to national security
• Scientists who work in China's military say American technology fills critical gaps in domestic technology and is key to advances in Chinese weaponry.

The Post went on to report that some U.S. companies whose products are being obtained by Chinese military researchers have also received taxpayer-funded grants from the Pentagon to design and produce cutting-edge tech

• In effect, the DoD is currently subsidizing China's military technology advances
• The technology China is obtaining related to hypersonics is also useful in other areas where the two countries compete
