Red Handed: Bill Gates Developed Nuclear Reactors that Helped China Overtake U.S. Military
Peter Schweizer’s new bestseller Red-Handed: How American Elites Get Rich Helping China Win devotes considerable attention to the troubling relationship between Microsoft founder Bill Gates and the Chinese Communist regime. One of the most disturbing episodes in that relationship occurred when Gates stepped outside the realm of personal computers to help the Chinese improve their nuclear reactors.
In 2011 — after a decade of alternately predicting China would never be able to police the Internet and helping Communist officials do exactly that — a company called TerraPower that was cofounded by Gates began working with the Chinese National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) on a "next-generation†reactor.
The project was ostensibly civilian in nature, although Schweizer notes CNNC also works for the Chinese military — and the molten salt reactors TerraPower developed just happen to be "incredibly effective at propelling ships at sea, including military vessels.â€

Red-Handed notes the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) was already working on techniques for installing this type of reactor on its aircraft carriers when Gates’ TerraPower teamed up with CNNC.
I am mindful of the words of Joseph Stalin "the capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them." In the case of China it's more the Fascist corporatists. But in the end we made it attractive to do business with China and have made them into a dangerous rival.

Gates is one of those goons (Zuckerberg is another) whose riches somehow made them feel like they were... well, experts on everything. Unfortunate!

It's hubris. Both believe (as do many others) they are godlike as opposed to those mortals who don't have their money. It's a violation of the First Commandment.
