Super computers for Chinese Army nuclear/biowarfare labs

Chinese Germ Warfare Ignored By State Dept.
By Charles R.Smith
The Bush administration has refused to name China as a major
supplier of biological and chemical weapons despite overwhelming
evidence to the contrary.
"The U.S. said that there may be some 'friendly countries' with
biological weapons programs who would not be named," noted
Michael Waller of the Center for Security Policy.
"The State Department considers Communist China a 'friendly
country,' effectively providing diplomatic cover to continue to
conceal Beijing's biological weapons program from the world,"
said Waller.
The State Department did issue a recent report naming Sudan,
North Korea, Iraq and Iran as countries known to be developing
dangerous biological weapons.
The refusal to name China as a seller of biological weapons
reportedly drew intense criticism inside the Bush
administration.
RECENT CHINESE GERM WARFARE DEVELOPMENTS
The internal dissent came after intelligence information
confirmed that China was operating a major biowarfare
development center in Xian. Chinese military labs are reported
to be developing genetically altered Anthrax, Smallpox and Ebola
virus weapons.
"There is no indication whatsoever that China has halted or cut
back its weapons of mass destruction programs," stated Al
Santoli, national security advisor to Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R.
CA.
"Equally troubling, the Chinese government has recently made
military training mandatory for all high school and college
students, under the combined control of the Ministry of
Education and the Ministry of Defense. These types of national
policies should set off alarm bells in neighboring countries and
in the West, that despite efforts to integrate China into the
world economy, Beijing continues to pursue belligerent
military/political goals," said Santoli.
CHINA SOLD GERM WARFARE EQUIPMENT TO IRAN
Defense sources are also concerned because China has sold germ
warfare equipment to Iran. In Jan. 1997, Madeleine Albright
confirmed during a Senate hearing that China had shipped
biological warfare equipment to Iran.
The concern is that Iran may have passed germ warfare technology
to terrorist groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah that have
carried out recent suicide attacks in Israel. U.S. intelligence
sources refused to confirm or deny that China may be the
original source of recent Anthrax attacks in the United States.
In 1997, the Clinton administration refused to identify the
specific Chinese company that made the germ warfare shipments to
Iran. The Clinton administration also refused to impose
sanctions required by export laws against China.
CLINTON AIDED CHINESE GERM WARFARE
Instead, documentation obtained using the Freedom of Information
Act shows that in 1997 Clinton officials approved super-computer
exports to a known Chinese germ warfare lab without an end use
inspection.
In December 1997, U.S. Commerce officials sought permission to
inspect Xian Jiatong University prior to the export of a high
performance computer made by Digital Corp. American inspectors
wanted to verify that the Chinese university would not use the
computer for germ warfare research.
However, all efforts to inspect the site were denied by the
communist Chinese government. The Clinton administration
approved the super-computer sale despite Beijing's refusal to
allow inspections.
Xian Jiatong University is a known center for Chinese Army
biological and chemical warfare research. The Xian Jiatong sale
is the only reported U.S. super-computer export associated with
Chinese biological and chemical warfare.
Pentagon sources are convinced that the Chinese Army is now
using the U.S. made super-computer to develop a chemical cluster
"bomblet" munitions to arm missiles and bombers. A bomblet
warhead can disperse hundreds of miniature germ filled grenades
over a vast area instead of a single large warhead, which would
infect a smaller target zone.
CHARLIE TRIE HELPED CHINESE GERM WARFARE LAB
In addition, convicted China-Gate figure Charlie "Yah Lin" Trie
confirmed in a March 2000 Congressional hearing that he helped
China obtain germ warfare technology from the west.
"If they don't get it from me, they get it from someone else,"
testified Trie. "They gonna get it."
According to his testimony, Trie received thousands of dollars
in commissions from the Chinese by arranging a deal with a Swiss
biological equipment manufacturer.
The Trie led deal allowed China to obtain a 500-liter fermenting
machine used to cultivate microorganisms, viruses or biotoxins.
The institute in China that received the fermenting machine is
based in Xian, near the known Chinese germ warfare lab.
