From: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/bluesky_smith/20000614_xcsof_blue_sky_a.shtml The Chinese Army is open for investment, seeking western money to improve its military space complex. On May 29, the Chinese Army Second Artillery Corps moved into western economic markets when Hong Kong based Asian Star Development Corporation announced an exclusive deal to become the "agent" for the "Chinese Academy of Space Technology." "Asian Star Development, Inc. (NASD OTC BB: ASTV), is pleased to announce the appointment, dated May 29, 2000, by the Chinese Academy of Space Technology (China's equivalent to NASA in the United States), naming Asian Star Development, Inc. as the agent for the Academy," noted the official statement by Asia Star Corporation. Stephen Chow, President of Asian Star, stated, "We are extremely excited and most honoured to be appointed for this prestigious undertaking. Asian Star firmly believes that it is beneficial to China and the rest of the world to have The Academy actively participate in the explosive new technological era we are entering." To western investors, the term "Academy of Space Technology" brings dancing visions of young students, working on peaceful science. Thus, helping these young students make their way into the cosmos is a wonderful way of diverting swords into plowshares, and accordingly, the official statement from Asia Star Corporation purrs like an investment kitten. Asia Star "will represent the Academy in introducing and promoting, on an international basis, The Academy's various commercial products, such as satellite communication networks, global positioning systems and all other commercial products developed by the Academy. China continues to launch satellites for commercial purposes and last year successfully completed its first unmanned space shuttle mission." Yet, space is not all flowers and doves of peace. The Academy also recently launched a navigation and communications satellite for the People's Army Second Artillery Corps. The Asia Star assessment of the Chinese Academy of Space Technology as the "equivalent to NASA in the United States" is somewhat colored by deception but the "explosive" part is closer to being correct. According to the Defense Intelligence Agency, the Chinese Academy of Space Technology helps to maintain and operate the Chinese Army nuclear ballistic missile force pointed at America. Those missiles are built by Great Wall Industries and maintained by engineers from the "Academy." Recent moves within the Second Artillery include tests of the new Dong Feng 31 and the Dong Feng 41 missiles. Both weapons can deliver nuclear warheads on American soil with pinpoint accuracy. According to a report by Lt. Col. Dennis Blasko, U.S. military attach� to Beijing, the Academy of Space Technology is actually part of the China Aerospace Corporation, and directly under the control of the Chinese Ministry of Aerospace. The Academy of Space Technology is part of China Aerospace's empire of over 75 commercial enterprises plus research institutes and factories, including Great Wall Industries and the Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology. Nor is the China "Academy" alone among the China Aerospace gems of military-academic manufacturing excellence. Its sister - the "Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology" is also major player in Chinese Army manned flight program. However, the Shanghai Academy has another product a bit more challenging for the average space student. In December 1996, Shanghai Academy of Spaceflight Technology senior engineer Liu Xinamin revealed a project that he and his students had been laboring on for over five years. His announcement came during a Beijing Arms show. Liu introduced Shanghai Academy's best-known young communist student achievement to date - the LY-60 air defense missile, designed to "process up to 40 targets, track 12 and distinguish the three that present the highest threat". The LY-60 is a "hit-to-kill" interceptor missile, with a maximum speed of 1,165 miles-per-hour, designed to destroy aircraft, cruise missiles and helicopters. It is 15 feet long, 10 inches in diameter with a single solid propellant motor and can maneuver up to 7 gs. Shanghai Academy engineer Liu said the LY-60 had been under development for five to six years and completed testing in 1996. The Academy designed anti-air missile is currently being deployed by the People's Liberation Army and has been exported to the Middle East. The LY-60 is not the only curious product from China Aerospace. China Aerospace is currently under U.S. Government investigation, along with American defense contractor Boeing/Douglas, for the illegal export of missile manufacturing equipment. The equipment was sold to China Aerospace for a "civil" airliner project and shipped from Long Beach in late 1994. In 1994, Commerce Secretary Ronald H. Brown visited China Aerospace to promote the sale of U.S. products, and helped persuade top officials finally to move forward on a renegotiated airliner production deal with Boeing/Douglas. Two weeks later, the Commerce Department approved sale of the machines. In the end, despite opposition to the sale by some military officials, the Pentagon itself did not oppose it. In March 1995, Boeing/Douglas officials discovered that six of the machines had not been sent to the agreed-on commercial plant in Beijing, but 800 miles away to the Nanchang Aircraft Co., which makes cruise missiles and jet fighters. Investigators have evidence that they believe suggests the machines were intended for military use all along. In 1993, while Chinese officials swore the machines would be used only for civilian purposes, U.S. spy satellite photos showed construction of the huge building at the Nanchang military plant where the six machines were later installed. Despite this historic act of deception, China Aerospace is best known for adding a page to Bill Clinton's Presidential legacy. The crowning jewel of China Aerospace scandals was the donation of $300,000 to the 1996 Clinton/Gore campaign. Colonel Liu Chao Ying, a China Aerospace executive, arranged for convicted China-Gate figure Johnny Chung to meet General Ji of the People's Liberation Army. General Ji, head of Chinese Army Intelligence, had a few things to pass on to Mr. Chung, including a check for Bill Clinton. "It was my 57 trips to the White House that attracted the Chinese Army attention," stated Johnny Chung during a recent WorldNetDaily interview. "Attracted Colonel Liu Chao Ying. At first, all I knew was she was the daughter of a famous Chinese General. I did not know she too was a Chinese officer. I thought she was no different that say the daughter of General Colin Powell. She said she would help my business." China Aerospace Col. Liu's first act was to arrange for Johnny Chung to meet General Ji in the basement of a Hong Kong restaurant. According the Chung, General Ji "told me three things: 'We really like your President. We would like to see him re-elected. I will give you $300,000 U.S. dollars and you give it to the President and the Democrat Party.'" "Let my banking records speak for themselves," concluded Chung. "My banking records are the proof the money came from the Chinese Army. I gave all my records to the Dept. of Justice but they have yet to give them to Congress." Janet Reno and the Dept. of Justice have done nothing to deter China Aerospace from conducting business as usual in the United States. Even so, the May 2000 Asia Star Corporation's statement did contain a curious legal caveat about the Chinese Army space business. "The above statements in regard to Asian Star Development, Inc. and the Chinese Academy of Space Technology which are not purely historical are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including Asian Star Development, Inc.'s beliefs, expectations, hopes or intentions regarding the future," noted the announcement. "It is important to note that actual outcome and the actual results could differ materially from those in such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include risks and uncertainties such as technological, legislative, corporate and marketplace changes." One other factor that could cause actual results to differ is deception. 3,000 years ago the Chinese warlord Sun Tzu wrote, "All war is based on deception." War in the 21st century may be fought in space but - when it comes to China Aerospace - Master Sun's first rule of combat still applies. source documents - CHINA'S DEFENSE INDUSTRIAL TRADING COMPANIES Defense Intelligence Reference Series VP-1920-271-90 http://www.softwar.net/pladef.html ================================================================= Kadosh, Kadosh, Kadosh, YHVH, TZEVAOT FROM THE DESK OF: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> *Mike Spitzer* <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ~~~~~~~~ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The Best Way To Destroy Enemies Is To Change Them To Friends Shalom, A Salaam Aleikum, and to all, A Good Day. ================================================================= <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/">www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
