After reading the below article I have to wonder how well security background checks are done on defense workers with a Chinese background?

In September 2012, the United States convicted Sixing Liu, a Chinese citizen working for a U.S. defense contractor, of bringing electronic files containing “details on the performance and design of” guidance systems for missiles, rocket target-designators, and even UAVS, the Pentagon’s latest report points out. The document also recounts that two Taiwanese nationals were charged in March 2012 with planning to get their hands on “sensitive U.S. defense technology” and passing it to China. The pair, Hui Sheng Shen and Huan Ling Chang, were allegedly going to take pictures of the technology, delete the images from their cameras, and then bring the memory cards back to China where the images would be recovered.

You can read more at the link but the Chinese spies seem like less than a problem than these American companies giving the technology themselves to the Chinese.
