Top nuclear weapons, radar and missile experts vanish from Chinese Academy of Engineering site

Profiles of three prominent Chinese scientists specializing in nuclear weapons, radar, and missile technology have been removed from the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE) website. The scientists are Zhao Xiangeng, a nuclear weapons expert, Wu Manqing, a radar specialist, and Wei Yiyin, a missile designer. All three were members of the CAE, China's top engineering academic body. The removal of Zhao Xiangeng's profile was noted by Chinese media on Saturday, though the exact date of removal for all three is unknown. No explanation has been provided by the CAE or Chinese authorities for the disappearance of these profiles.
