The following documents were obtained from Smith v. Commerce and show that the Dept. of Commerce was fully aware of Li Ka-Shing's funding communications systems with the PLA. Li Ka-Shing currently has control of both ends of the Panama Canal through his Hutchison Whampoa Group. Li Ka-Shing is to the PLA what Howard Hughes was for the CIA. crs ================================================================ To: Alain DeSarran@USFCSHqOIOEAP@DoC Cc: Dolores F Harrod@USFCSHqOIODAS@DoC Mark Bayuk@USFCSBeijing@DoC Bcc: From: Robert Bannerman@USFCSBeijing@DoC Subject: Helms Tesitmony Date: Monday, December 22, 1997 9:15:37 CST Attach: Certify: Y Forwarded by: Dear Alain: Mark Bayuk obtained a chart from DAO entitled "China's Defense-Industrial Trading Organizations", which is a non-classified document. The reference number for this document is: Defense Intelligence Reference Document No. PC- 19212-57-95, October 1995. According to Mark, BXA has a copy of this chart (which is too big to fax to you), and he will ask someone at BXA to give it to Dolly. I think this chart is what you are looking for. It includes companies such as China North Industries Group (NORINCO), China Electronic Systems Engineering Company (CESEC), etc. I will also fax you a typical article I found yesterday which mentions CESEC and identifies it has a PLA-affilated company. This chart is the only list that we have here in China of PLA-affiliated companies. The Chinese government does not publish such a list, nor do we know of any other published source or data base of PLA-affiliated companies. If you have any trouble getting a copy of this chart from BXA, please let me know and I will have someone type up the list of companies from the chart and send it to you.

Lian, Tong Telecommunications Corp is aiming to launch services in an initial 20 cities next year as a precursor to a national service and was due last month to finalize an agreement with Hutchison for technical and financial support. The planned network will have capacity for 400,000 subscribers in the first phase and room for a further 600,000 users under phase two. Lian Tong officials said the CDMA network would supplement their GSM service in areas where customer demand exceeded be available radio frequencies. The carrier has recruited CDMA suppliers Lucent, Samsung and Motorola to build trial networks in Shanghai, Tianjin and Guangdong. The focus of the build-out will be in southern China and 13 of the initial 20 cities are in Guangdong province. Networks are also planned for Shanghai, Tianjin, Beijing, Suzhou and Hangzhou. This arrangement would enable Lian Tong to take advantage of roaming arrangements with Hutchison's CDMA subscribers in Hung Kong. Lian Tong has opened a new wireless department at its Beijing headquarters to oversee the CDMA project. Lian Tong has a national assignment of 4MHz of radio spectrum in the 800MHz band for the new network. Hutchison's parent company, Hutchison Whampoa is already investing in a separate CDMA venture in China through its Chung Kiu joint venture. Chung Kiu has agreements to develop CDMA networks in some 37 cities in association with Great Wall Mobile Communications, the joint venture between the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications (MPT) and China Electronics Systems Engineering Company (CESEC) a subsidiary of the People's Liberation Army. Lian Tong said it has 30 GSM networks connected with the national phone network, serving a total of 300,000 cellular subscribers. ================================================================ http://www.softwar.net/kashing.html ================================================================ Pcyphered SIGNATURE: 377D9B2BC98E68F49235F10F95C02045EAEA60069B918D8F1575AF349A36D8D6 662EE6E27956C7CD61A8F9FEBA15CF6EC4FFDE7E7DCD8DDB5061ED7C3C982B6D EC9570909FFF22D4 ================================================================ SOFTWAR EMAIL NEWSLETTER www.softwar.net 09/05/99 *** to unsubscribe reply with "unsubscribe" as subject *** ================================================================
