This either happens a lot or it happened a few weeks ago? I guess the official US statement is the news? Is it that the US is doing the same and so can't react too strongly or can they not prove it was the Chinese government? Seems kind of like it should be a bigger deal.

Yet they've managed to fit speaker openings at each end. They could do it, just would cost a little bit more.

These guys were all so amazing. I recommend the book The Making of the Atomic Bomb by Richard Rhodes.
