If the Chinese get their hands on advanced rebar technology, this would enable them to build concrete platforms robust enough to reach low earth orbit. The danger seems rather self-evident, so I expect that Geithner will recommend a CFIUS review of this transaction, which will result in Anshan being booted out of Mississippi, where they clearly don’t belong.

This is the future of war. Sending armies to "invade" a country is too risky and fraught with diplomatic minefields. But covert strikes on sensitive and vulnerable technological targets? That is relatively easy, hard to trace, and capable of reaping significant rewards or causing large amounts of confusion and damage. A Like Reply
