    SHEN Changxiang, who once supervised the cybersecurity of China's strategic missile arsenal and spearheaded computer-security research for the navy, has warned of the perils of his country's reliance on American technology.

    Yet in December, the 74-year-old former military engineer, one of China's top-ranking cyberofficials, quietly started working with a company synonymous with US technological prowess: IBM. His task is to help a little-known Chinese company absorb and build upon key technologies licensed by IBM, according to a statement posted on a Beijing government website.
