Steve Chen Making China's Supercomputer Grid

nanotrends writes "Steve Chen was the principal designer of the Cray X-MP supercomputer. He recently created multi-teraflop blade based supercomputers for a Chinese company. He is now creating a supercomputer grid across China and he is working on a bio-supercomputer extension to human brains called THIRD-BRAIN. The THIRD-BRAIN project has significant 3 year and 5 year targets."

Steven Chen is a slimebag. First, he is working to help the Chinese government develop
technology with skills he learned at Cray. This is a transfer of US technical skills to the Chinese militaty and mirrors Chinese industrial espionage. Chen is helping support a communist state that is killing people in Tibet and has the humanitarian aims of a dictator like Sadam Husein and supports torture. Steven Chen just took his skills to China to help the Chinese government which kills and interns millions in Stallinist style concentration camps and helped Pakistan and North Korea get an Atomic bomb. Those high tech computers he's building are being used to make better nuclear weapons. Steven Chen's ethics are on the level of a street urchin. Notice how the article mentions supercomputer applications except nuclear weapons which is one application that really uses supercomputers. Steven Chen was probably a Chinese plant though to take his knowledge back to China after he worked at Cray.

There is also evidence the Chinese reverse engineered a Cray. Chen is no different from Chinese technicians trying to steal chip designs and fly back to China after working at an American company and the blueprints.

China also supports widespread censorship of the internet and press. Freedom of speech does not exist in China. Steven Chen is promoting and supporting a China where freedom of speech
doesn't exist and an e-mail can get you 10 years. http://takeaction.amnestyusa.org/siteapps/advocacy /index.aspx?c=goJTI0OvElH&b=953489&template=x.ascx &action=5385

China is also militaristic and destabilizes Asia with ambitions of power. China wants to takeover Taiwan either by military force or politically. Any attempts to declare Taiwan a separate and autonomous country are met by Chinese government attacks and threats of reprisal against the US no less. In fact Chinese influence reaches to even the hidden corridors of the White House. China wants to add Taiwan to it's territories militarily or by any other means.

Way to go Steve. Help out a corrupt Chinese government. Maybe the Dalai Lama can congratulate you.
At least Steven Chen could be working in the west and supporting economic and political reforms in China but he's doing the opposite. Steven Chen should be proud that he's helping support democracy in China by working in a corrupt and unreformed system where economic reforms do not encourage government reforms.
