If true this is very disturbing.

Afaik, this is not uncommon in any country where businessmen have information that proves valuable (and lucrative), to another country. I cannot see what is new about this to be honest. Especially as this involves China. I always thought, also, that it
was the UK and the US who were most involved in this type of espionage.
Btw, Australia has the world's second-biggest lithium reserves and is the biggest producer of lithium by weight, with most of its production coming from mines in Western Australia. Lithium-6 has a very high neutron cross-section (940 barns) and so
readily fissions to yield tritium and helium. It has been the main source of tritium for both thermonuclear weapons and future controlled fusion. I think I said earlier that the moon has heaps of tritium (or Helium3) in it's dust, and which is quite rare
on earth. Basically, He-3 is a fusion fuel aside from its thermonuclear use.
