Nuctech Company, Ltd is a Chinese partially state-owned security inspection products company, headquartered in Beijing, created in 1997 as an offshoot of Tsinghua University.[1][2] Nuctech Company's parent company, Tsinghua Tongfang, is controlled by the China National Nuclear Corporation,[1][3] a state-owned company that manages China's civilian and military nuclear fuel development program.[4][5][6] Several countries have raised concerns about contracts for security scanning equipment due to the company's partial state ownership and ties to the Chinese Communist Party and Chinese military.[1][7][8][9][10]
