| Chicoms still providing missile, WMD tech to NORKS |

| From East Asia Intel, subscription. China is continuing to offer weapons of mass destruction and missile-related technology to North Korea, raising military tensions in Northeast Asia, a U.S. congressional commission said in a recent report. U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency Director Lowell Jacoby was quoted as saying that Chinese companies continued to supply key technologies to countries with strategic weapons and missile programs, especially North Korea, Pakistan and Iran. The Chicoms want to help these govts protect themselves against the Great Satan™. Although Chinese companies have been sanctioned for their role in the diffusion on WMD technology, the sanctions have had little or no effect because they are not extended to parent companies as well, he said in the 2005 report by the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission. Two card monte. Rearrange the front companies. No-brainer. "In fact, Beijing may be benefiting diplomatically from such transfers to Iran, North Korea and Pakistan," the report said, blasting Chinese leadership's lack of commitment to non-proliferation. The commission has been urging the Bush administration to take a harder line on China. It would be nice if we held the Chicoms accountable for their actions. The commission also said North Korea's economy would collapse without Chinese assistance and called on the White House to pressure China to exert its crucial influence in resolving the North Korean nuclear standoff. It seems to me that the bottom line is that the continued existance of the NORK regime is in the Chicom's hands. The Chicoms keep their little mad NORK dog on a leash, but the fact is that they will keep their little mad NORK dog around to bug the neighbors. For the past few years, China has been allocating 25 to 33 percent of its foreign assistance budget to North Korea, the report said. "Moreover, Chinese petroleum and coal are thought to be significant factors in bolstering the fragile North Korean economy," it said. The US and other nations ended the oil charity to Kimmie after his kicking out of the Nuke inspectors and took the seals off the installations. The Chicoms are filling the gap. "The Commission recommends that Congress call on the administration to press China to use its substantial leverage with North Korea to secure its adherence to the agreed principles," the report said. "Yet, China has failed to use its leverage effectively to obtain denuclearization by North Korea. The extent of Chinese cooperation in the six-party talks...is a critical test of the U.S.-China relationship." The Chicoms like prodding the US, Japan, SKOR, and others with their NORK stick. No consequences so far. The commission proposes asking the UN Security Council to impose sanctions against the North if it failed to dismantle its nuclear programs. "China's response to, and vote on, such a resolution will reveal its sincerity in pressuring North Korea to resolve this matter," the report said. UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU, Sanctions. That will get the Chicoms quaking in their boots, just like the threat of sanctions is affecting Iran and the MMs. |
