The American bombs that fell on the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade
were guided to the wrong target by U.S. satellites.  President
Clinton claims the bombing was an accident.  The Clinton excuse
for the Embassy bombing is an outdated satellite map of downtown
Belgrade.  The Chinese government is rightly skeptical of the
"accidental" bombing.

Ironically, the Chinese Army is all too familiar with U.S.
satellite technology.  According to a 1997 Commerce Dept.
report, the Clinton administration gave the Chinese "fine images
of rural China and Beijing as well as Siberian port cities,
Seoul and Kadena Air Force Base on Okinawa."

In 1997, U.S. Commerce Dept. officials at the American Embassy
in Beijing wrote that the Chinese obtained satellite images in
order to "help demonstrate that Tibet has enough arable land to
feed itself."

The heartfelt concern for Tibet by the communist government is a
touching piece of propaganda.  However, the Chinese were not the
only ones seeking high-resolution U.S. space photographs.

According to the same 1997 document, Commerce officials "were
told that two North Koreans visited the station some time ago
but did not buy any (satellite) imagery.  The North Koreans do
not have any significant earth resources satellite utilization
capability."

Dept. of Commerce documents shows the Chinese "remote Sensing
Center" was supplied with "world class remote sensing data
acquisition, processing, archive and distribution" equipment.
The state-of-the-art satellite equipment was provided by HUGHES
Corp.  In 1995, the Hughes Corp. CEO was million dollar DNC
donor Michael Armstrong.

The U.S. space images were obtained from the satellite "remote
sensing" station operated by a Chinese Army unit - the
Commission on Science, Technology and Industry for National
Defense (COSTIND).  In 1995, COSTIND was led by PLA General Ding
Henggao.  General Ding, a close friend of U.S. Defense Secretary
William Perry, led several so-called "commercial" ventures with
the Commerce Dept. to obtain advanced U.S. technology for the
Chinese Army, including the joint Hughes/PLA remote sensing
venture.

Clearly, the war to dominate Earth starts in space.  The modern
space war includes satellites for highly accurate navigation and
bombing.  For example, the bombs that struck the Chinese Embassy
in Belgrade were directed to the target using the GPS (Global
Positioning System) satellite navigation system.

In 1995, the Clinton administration approved the sale of the very
same bombing/navigation technology directly to a company owned
by the Chinese Air Force.  The sale included a complete
manufacturing facility and training for the Chinese workers.

According to a 1997 report forced from the U.S. Commerce Dept. by
a Federal lawsuit, "The most troubling potential transfer to
China is Rockwell's proposed joint venture deal with the
Shanghai Broadcast Equipment Factory and the Shanghai Avionics
Corporation, the latter of which is a key enterprise of the
Aviation Industries of China."

"Rockwell Collins Navigation and Communications Equipment
Company, Ltd.," states the 1997 report.  "Will design, develop,
and build Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation receivers
systems for the Chinese market."

"These components have serious dual-use applications, since the
acquisition of reliable GPS data can enhance, to varying degrees,
the capacity of militaries to field highly accurate cruise and
ballistic missiles, such as those used to intimidate Taiwan
during March 1996."

Clearly, Clinton officials were aware of the military affects of
the Rockwell/Shanghai venture.  Furthermore, the Clinton
administration also knew the geo-political impact of the GPS
military sale to the Chinese Air Force.  For example, the report
noted the diplomatic effects on Taiwan of the GPS sale.

"More accurate GPS systems would enhance the PLA's ability to
carry out attacks against Taiwan's military and industrial
facilities," states the report.  "Potentially reducing the
ability of the Taiwanese military to defend itself against PRC
coercive diplomacy."

However, the most chilling conclusion was reserved for the
effects on U.S. military forces, especially U.S. Naval Forces.

"The use of GPS to enhance the accuracy of long-range Chinese
cruise missiles, coupled with long-range sensors, would raise
serious concerns for the U.S. Seventh Fleet in the Pacific, and
possibly circumscribe their ability to provide an effective
deterrent in a crisis over Taiwan."

Furthermore, the Chinese may have obtained the "long-range
sensors" from the Clinton administration as well.  Another
Commerce Dept. document shows that in 1996, Loral Defense
Systems (then an arm of Loral Aerospace) actively solicited
Commerce Secretary Brown to intervene in getting approval from
the White House to sell advanced radar technology to China.

Loral wanted very badly to sell Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)
to China.  SAR is a sophisticated ground-looking radar essential
to the newly deployed Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar
System (JSTARS) used by the U.S. military to track ground-based
vehicular movement on the battlefield.  SAR radars also equip
the USAF F-15 Strike Eagle and the Predator unmanned aerial
reconnaissance vehicle.

A letter discovered in the previously unreleased files of Ron
Brown shows that Loral Defense Systems President, Jerald A.
Lindfelt, wrote Brown in March of 1996.  Lindfelt sought Brown's
help in the export of SAR technology to the Beijing Institute of
Remote Sensing.  According to the Defense Department, the
Chinese "Institute of Remote Sensing" is actually a front for
the Chinese Army missile guidance design laboratories.  The
Institute of Remote Sensing is "a developer of precision
guidance systems for surface-to-air missiles."

Loral's 1996 appeal also included a direct request for Ron Brown
to over rule the Department of Defense, the State Department and
even Brown's own Commerce Department, which had all previously
denied SAR radar exports to China.

"We've worked hard trying to resolve these problems with the
Department of State, the Department of Commerce and the Defense
Technology Security Administration (DTSA)," Loral's Lindfelt
wrote to Brown.

"But someone in these organizations always manages to block our
participation...  Over the years we have found that this type of
obstacle often comes from lower levels of management rather than
by people willing to look at the bigger picture.  Could you help
us by identifying someone in the Commerce Department high enough
in the organization to help us resolve these issues and open
this marketplace..."

Bill Clinton's help to our "strategic partner" includes the one
item that pro-Communist China pundits claim the Chinese military
needs the most - real training.  The Chinese are currently
participating in joint training exercises with the U.S.
military.

For example, in 1998, the USAF staged a series of air to air
exercises in Alaska called "COPE THUNDER".  The USAF air war
games included an entire class of officers from the Chinese
People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) Air War college and
several other high level PLAAF observers.

The Clinton training of the Chinese military continues as
planned despite diplomatic setbacks over the embassy bombing.
In the fall of 1999, another class of PLAAF air war cadets is
scheduled to be trained by the USAF in Alaska.  The military
training will help the Chinese Air Force officers understand and
effectively employ their newly acquired American bombing and
radar systems.

It is doubtful that Chinese military planners will miss the U.S.
embassy in downtown Seoul with their (made in the U.S.A.)
improved missile technology.  However, it is certain the Chinese
military did not buy high-resolution satellite photos of Okinawa
in order to help PLAAF cadets find the Kadena U.S. Air Force
Base Officers Club.
