Qian Xuesen, a "human scientist" is thought to be the father of China's missile and space programs. The country's first heroic effort has led to the invention of the first artificial satellite into space, a rocket and a missile capable of carrying nuclear weapons.

Born in 1911, Qian Xuesen grew up in the fragile state of China's last monarchy. After his father worked in Japan for a long time and returned to the country to play a key role in shaping the national curriculum, Mao was highly educated. Chen received a scholarship to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT in the United States, for the first time in his graduation from the Zhao Tong University in Shanghai.

Moved from China to Boston, USA in 1935, graduated from MIT and joined the California Institute of Technology, Caltech as a researcher. There he met the famous scientist Frank Malina as a colleague under the famous aeronautical engineer Theodore von Carmen.

Malina was one of the members of the Suicide Squad of talented inventors, trying to build a rocket on Caltech's campus. Chen talks to some members of this group about a complex math problem. He then became a member of their group and began playing a role in rocket research.

Rocket science was then seen as the subject of 'crazy and fantasy lovers'. At that time, famous engineers did not want to get involved for fear of losing their reputation. With the outbreak of World War II, the situation quickly changed. The U.S. military has funded a suicide squad to study the use of jet engines on the wings of warplanes.

The Jet Propulsion Lab, JPL, was established in 1943 under the leadership of Theodore von Carmen, a rocket scientist at Caltech with military funding. Qian Xuesen and Frank Malina were at the heart of the project. Since China was an ally at the time, there was no doubt about Chen in the US space science project.

Qian even got permission to work on secret weapons research and became a member of the US Science Advisory Board. By the end of World War II, he had become the world's leading expert in rapid projection of jet technology. He was also sent to Germany on a mission with Theodore von Carmen.

They sought German knowledge of the technology from Warner von Braun, a Nazi engineer and rocket scientist. When Mao Zedong declared communist rule in China in 1949, Qian began to suffer in the United States. Doubts about the new China led to rumors of a JPL spy ring.

The FBI has named a number of suspects, all Qian Xuesen and Jewish. When the Cold War broke out, the organization identified Chen and Frank Malina as "communists" and a threat to the country's security.

Qian was placed under house arrest in the United States without any evidence of spying for China, and the JPL's permission was revoked. Theodore von Carmen wrote a letter to the government denouncing Chen as innocent, but that did not work. After five years of house arrest, he was deported to China in 1955.

Before boarding the ship with his wife and two children born in the United States, Qian said he would never set foot in the United States. Qian returned to his motherland China with the status of a hero. He became a member of the Chinese Communist Party in 1956 and began working on the development of space technology.

In addition to building China's missile program, Qian has been training new scientists for decades. Even the Silk-Worm missile he discovered was used against the United States in the 1991 Gulf War. In 2016, Yemen's Houthis fired a Chinese missile at a US warship, the USS Mason.

The United States has denied the allegations in a statement issued Friday stating "Similar, baseless allegations concerning Russia's intelligence have been made more than once. But in the end, Washington has to regret handing over the weapon to the enemy.
