| China breaks vow on halting arms transfers |
| 2004-08-23 |
| via Wash Times - EFL By Bill Gertz - August 23, 2004 A Chinese company recently supplied missile-related technology to Iran in violation of Beijing's promises to curb arms-proliferation activities, U.S. intelligence officials say. The transfers took place within the past six months and represent a continuation of past Chinese covert arms transfers to countries such as Iran and Pakistan. No details of the missile technology or the companies involved were disclosed by the officials. However, the activities were confirmed by U.S. intelligence agencies, said officials familiar with intelligence reports.

| #5 Anybody care to rethink the idea that we won the Cold War? Russia and China, our two Cold War enemies, are still supporting proxies against us. The Chinese are as mad as any mullah, with their irrational obsession with a tiny island off their coast called Taiwan. Absolutely worth repeating, virginian. A valid comparison and an altogether outstanding observation. This is not, as some have speculated, World War IV, but merely the end game of World War III, the Cold War. Like a chameleon, communism has adopted various protective colorations, but its intent remains unaltered. Domination at any cost, even if all that's to be gained is smoking ruins. I say, let them see ruination first. My only dispute with your analogy is that China's kleptocracy has every reason to lust after Taiwan. Raping that peaceful economic powerhouse fits perfectly with all other aspects of their corrupt dictatorship. |

| #2 An elderly Chinese lady who was my neighbor in Berkeley in the 60s who escaped from the Chicoms told me to remember that the Chinese Communists never keep their promises, despite what all the LLL and radicals will say. She was 100% right. |
