It’s interesting how the US guards developments anything like this yet China just releases them to the public. I get they’re trying to deter the US by showing they have technology knowledge to deter and intimidate defense/military people to prevent/delay war but I have to wonder if part of the reasoning they do this is because their spies have revealed the US already has everything they reveal like this and so it’s not any advantage to the US to have a paper on how to do this new thing, more just a show “hey we have this too now”.
My guess is that this is also done to attract scientists, since they’ll then get to publish, which is super valuable to their careers.
Perhaps this also inspires new generations of kids to become scientists.

Imo they will also try to sell the tech to other countries, especially in north africa and asia.
