Naturalised US citizen Shu Quan Sheng, admitted handing over to Beijing information on the design and development of a fuelling system for space launch vehicles between 2003 and 2007, the Justice Department said.
Shu, 68, pleaded guilty to violating the Arms Export Control Act by helping Chinese officials based at the space facility on southern Hainan island to develop manned space flight and future missions to the Moon.

This technology is invaluable for the development of new generation missile systems.
Is this a return to the Cold War years? Does China have military and expansionist designs?

I'm not surprised to find this out at all. I think a lot of countries have bad intentions for the USA. I think we, the US, want to pretend it's not true. However, we to accept this and learn.
