Half the patents nowdays are actually improvements on another patent, it's just the way it is. It happens all the time. These things take time, the creator will most likely have already benefited from it's creation.
The current copyright laws in the U.S are not the ones that Benjamin Franklin envisioned, he imagined them just to be a quick way to get paid for inventing something, not to be milked relentlessly for 50 years. That actually stops creativity and invention.

Now they are getting to the point where they can almost ditch the SRB and continue on their own, which explains why originality is beginning to show in some of their latest military equipment.

I think the major irritant to the US was the stealing of SLBM technology from the Los Alamos labs and the acquisition of neutron bomb data as well..
This was carried out by US scientists (of chinese origin) working in those labs..

Wasn't this thread closed? It should be, all this stupid arguing is getting annoying. You guys should have a debate in the debate forum, or something.
The report's case rests primarily on a reference in a classified Chinese document to certain aspects of the design of the Trident D-5 missile's W-88 thermonuclear warhead, which indicates Chinese access to classified information from an unidentified source. However, Cox Committee member Representative John Spratt (D-SC), in an act of considerable political courage, has revealed the paucity of evidence supporting the report's stark conclusions and pointed out that the Cox Committee had no evidence that the Chinese had actually obtained any blueprints or detailed engineering specifications on the W-88 or any other U.S. thermonuclear weapon

yeah but you're quoting an article you twit...
That's just a point of view..
Not the accepted truth you know..
I can find ten articles pointing out flaws in the COx report if I wanted..
Since your articles' case rests primarily on th eW-88 D-5 subject it is obvious that
is will state likewise for the cox report.. why don't you read it and find out for your self.. the cox report that is..
Just a glance at the "detailed contents pdf will show that it is not limited to just one type of warhead

Read the COX REPORT itself man!!!
I gave the link to that as well!!!
REad the detailed contents table..
Your article didn't disprove the COx report..
IT is a view that does so...
Only official reports can do so..
Articles are just points of view..Reports are MANy points of view BAcked with evidence..
REports take months,even years to compile.. and article can be written in under and hour..
There's a big difference!!
Don't argue stupidly..disprove ALL the claims made by the report and other articles SUPPORTING the cox report and then we have a valid counter arguement
