The Chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, Mike Lee, sent messages to three American national laboratory managers asking about the reason for financing their research facilities using supercomputers from the Chinese government that was approved by the United States
A daily investigation of the news of the published callers, March 20, found that the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Energy funded 102 projects – mainly through three American national laboratories – which used at least one of five Chinese -Chinese computers centers. On Wednesday, send me Inquiries messages To Oak Ridge (Ornl) managers, Los Alamos (LANL) and Argonne National Laboratories (anL), citing DCNF results.
“I am writing to express serious concerns about a recent report that explains in detail how researchers participated in the LANL National Laboratory (LANL) in a research cooperation that benefits from the super computing resources based on PRC. These activities are particularly related to the list in the list in the American air list, climbing, climbing, climbing them,”. He wrote to me in his letter to the director of Lanal, Dr. Tom Mason.
Li added: “The report analysis of research funded by the Ministry of Energy in 2016 to 2024 highlights multiple cases in which LANL researchers conducted studies using PRC high computing resources, including those in NSCCS in Guangzhou and Tianjin.”

In June 2020, the US Department of Commerce punished the Chinese super computing centers in Beijing, Changsha, Guangzhou, Churchon and Tianjin, participating in activities threatening US national security, including China’s weapons of mass destruction programs.

With the highlight of specific concerns in each speech, Lee wrote to AnL Director Dr. Paul Kerns, referring to a 2022 research project entitled “Kohn Anomaly and Flexible Slin in the Cube Moldinum that focuses on the body high pressure.”
The study included cooperation with the Center for High Sciences for Advanced Science and Technology and the Institute of Atomic and Molecular Physics at Sichuan University – in the list of American entities. According to the message, the study used the “high pressure simulation” conducted on the Chinese super computer in Guangzhou.
“By working with these organizations listed in these entities and using the HPC resource, the project raises concerns about whether the research of decisive materials in space and defense can unintentionally support the restricted PRC entities,” the letter said.
Before a probe, AnL, LANL and Ornl Dcnf spokesperson that they had not used the approved CCP giants.
