The Washington Post reported on Thursday that recently translated Chinese
intelligence documents show that communist China accessed sensitive U.S.
strategic secrets during the Reagan-Bush administration.
"During the 1980s, Beijing had gathered a large amount of classified
information about U.S. ballistic missiles and reentry vehicles," the
article said, citing the documents.
One month ago, Consortiumnews.com reported on the background behind this
hemorrhaging of U.S. nuclear secrets from the Reagan-Bush administration
to communist China.
Investigative reporter Robert Parry detailed how little-noticed records
from the Iran-contra files exposed the origins of this collaboration, as
the Reagan-Bush White House shared secrets with China that were so
sensitive that they were kept even from the U.S. Congress.

Although any serious examination of the evidence always pointed to the
Reagan-Bush administration, the Republicans and the major media have
teamed up over the past several years to blame the loss of these secrets
on the Clinton-Gore administration.
Conservatives have gone so far as accusing President Clinton and Vice
President Gore of treason. But the new evidence indicates that if any
treason occurred, it happened in the 1980s, when President Reagan and the
father of the current Republican presidential nominee were in charge.
