A congressman says he's alarmed that President Obama's science "czar," John Holdren, apparently has been collaborating with the Chinese even though Congress specifically prohibited that activity in a bill signed into law by his boss, Obama.
"I take the GAO findings very seriously," he told the committee in his statement. "Following the law is not voluntary for administration officials. That is why Dr. Holdren should commit today to full compliance with Section 1340 and publicly acknowledge his error in participating in the bilateral conference with the Chinese government."
He said the U.S. has been a leader in space technology for decades, and it should be wary of any agreements through which others would have access to its technology.
"I want to be clear: The United States has no business cooperating with the People's Liberation Army (PLA) to help develop its space program," he said.
"China has a thriving business of harvesting and selling for transplant kidneys, corneas and other human organs from executed prisoners," he pointed out. Also, "The Chinese government maintains a brutal system of labor camps."Beijing also requires outside companies, such as Yahoo, to serve its communist government agenda, and the Chinese are exporting technology for spying on citizens to other nations.
And it oppresses religious rights, routinely putting in prison Protestant house church pastors, he said.
"Let's be perfectly clear about how China is advanced militarily: They are utilizing 'other than legal means,'" Wolf said.
China also is a major source of Internet attacks on U.S. technology, and it is a major arms supplier for various unwelcome regimes around the world.
