`No secrets' from China
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.CHINA HAS had almost complete access to US nuclear weapons secrets over the past two decades, Newsweek reported yesterday, saying: "The penetration is total."
The extent of the damage is such that it "leaves an unsettling possibility: That this was done by American citizens."
A Taiwan-born nuclear scientist was dismissed from his job at Los Alamos two weeks ago after failing a lie-detector test, but he has not been arrested, and FBI sources have indicated that they have no evidence to support charges.
