Former Chinese Nuclear Engineer : ‘We’ve been transferring Nuclear Technology to Pakistan’



After two nuclear tests last year and a new ballistic missile launch on Feb. 12, North Korea has invited fresh denunciation and economic sanctions from the international community.

Even China has been concerned as Pyongyang’s development of nuclear weapons threatens Beijing’s ability to rein in its capricious ally.In past years, the assistance North Korea received from Pakistan in developing its nuclear weapons has been well-publicized. In the 2005 article “New Players on the Scene: A.Q. Khan and the Nuclear Black Market,” U.S. Air Force Col. Charles D. Lutes revealed the role Islamabad played in spreading nuclear technology to North Korea and Iran.

Now, insider sources in China have indicated it was Beijing that indirectly supplied North Korea by aiding Pakistan’s development of nuclear technology and gifting it critical raw materials.

According to Huang Huiping, a former researcher at the China Institute of Atomic Energy, “In the 1980s, one of the CIAE’s tasks was to transfer our nuclear technologies to other countries, including Pakistan. They sent people to China to study nuclear engineering, and China (including our Institute) also sent specialists to Pakistan to assist in their nuclear technology.”

In 2009, the Washington Post cited Abdul Qadeer Khan, the Pakistani nuclear scientist, as saying that in 1982, China “had gifted us 50 kg [kilograms] of weapon-grade enriched uranium, enough for two weapons.”

China joined the Treaty on the Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons in 1992. Pakistan conducted its first successful nuclear weapons test in 1998, becoming the seventh country to explode a nuclear bomb. But it still lacked the rocket technology needed to deliver its nuclear weapons. And in 2000, China pledged that it would not assist any country in developing ballistic missiles.

But Chinese aid to Pakistan continued, and Huang Huiping entertained private doubts.

“Because China and India don’t get along, China assists Pakistan [in its nuclear weapons program] to oppose India,” she told NTD Television in a phone interview. “Having witnessed such irresponsible acts, I began to seriously question whether these advanced technologies would bring benefit or catastrophe to humanity.”


From Islamabad to the Kim dynasty ::

Pakistani nuclear arms and technology, aided by China, has ended up in North Korean hands via the black market and through Chinese corporations associated with the Communist Party.

Last year, the U.S. Department of Justice announced charges against a northeastern Chinese company called Dandong Hongxiang Industrial Development for supplying North Korea with alloys necessary for uranium enrichment. The company’s head, a female government official and Party member, was arrested and placed under investigation in the fallout of this incident.

Another example: in September 2001, the United States imposed sanctions on the state-owned China Metallurgical Equipment Corporation (MECC) for selling missile parts to Pakistan. This caused a political scandal that Beijing moved to correct.

According to economics expert Yang Jianli, a pro-democracy dissident who founded Initiatives for China, the Chinese regime sentenced five people involved in the sale of key metallurgical technologies to Pakistan. In 2002, Yang himself had been detained by the Ministry of State Security while investigating a surge in unemployment in Northeast China.

Yang’s cellmate happened to be one of the five MECC officials convicted in the face of U.S. pressure.

“He told me he felt wronged,” Yang Jianli told NTD Television. “He was following orders by the Chinese government to sell those technologies. They said the State Council and the Central government had official approved the documents.”

But when the MECC official became a scapegoat, he was coerced to plead guilty to the charges under threat that he would be investigated for corruption instead. “In the end, the five of them were convicted on multiple charges and given eight-to-ten-year sentences,” Yang said.

True, but will NSG/IAEA or any other group take any action/investigation? If not India should sign NPT, get into NSG and go arm every country which has enmity with China and wont hurt Indian interests like Vietnam or SoKo.

Well, you get the sequence wrong.
Chinese transferred the tech/material before signing NPT, then get into NSG. So, Chinese didn't violate any treaty since they weren't part of it.
Certainly, India can go and arm any country who is enemy of China NOW since you haven't sign the NPT yet. But there 2 problems:
1. Can India bear the consequence of doing so? India already halt her own nuclear weapon program due to the international pressure, I doubt if your gov is stupid enough to do something even worse.
2. There is no country wants India nuclear weapon or related technology, the death of Saddam tells us small countries can't afford the price of owing nuclear bomb if she doesn't have a big country standing behind her economically and militarily. So far, India hasn't shown such level of commitment to anyone yet.

Ballistic Missile technology is old school stuff. If a famine stricken NK can master it why cant Pakiland with some help from China. US has ballisitc missiles which are 40 years old which tells you their tech evolution.We have our own ICBMs although I am disappointed with quality control standards in Indian PSUs that deployed missiles fail once in a while (they should not) and we still have not conducted missile showers and night tests.If we are unable to maintain such quality control standards for a simple thing like ballistic missiles, how will be graduate to next level like precision weapons, ABMs, jet engines, radars, sensors etc where quality control standards are faaar more exacting. We need more work from our PSUs and Pvt sector.

Hence Proved.

Chinese are themselves "chors". They sold chori ka maal to a few other bhikari countries. Its high time these activities are recognized on International platforms and sanctions are placed on these countries.

This is very true, even international community of strategic affairs during there debate mentioned this.
N.Korea have few cargo ships that unusually take paths that are way off to the international waters. The cargo is thought to contained with Nuclear Fissile material being transferred by Pakistan and Chinese port authorities are allowing this to happen ... Oh well who want's NATO in there own backyard, so why not arm N.Korea as a watch dog.

Not going to happen because
1. it is not 1980s, the cold war is over. The international community won't tolerate this anymore;
2. Today's India is not 1980s China, India can't afford an international isolation;
3. Nobody wants India's nuclear bomb as India can't provide the economic and political support.

So, no matter how much you want Chinese to taste their own medicine, the fact is you don't have that medicine at all.

Hardly any secret here.

Pakistan is extension of Chinese nuclear pockets like North Korea. The nexus tried to extend these pockets further but failed.

Chinese strategic thinking goes into investing in China's rise without hindrances by creating problems for western nations elsewhere.

Guess what, their con has been called out. USA is now directly blaming China for North Korea and tilting towards India to check Pakistan and China.

This confidence comes from your trust in India upholding values and not losing its stakes to out flank rogue China who is proliferating nuclear bomb technology.

Great, that's what we want you think.

In the long run, proliferating nukes to unstable and irrational countries such as Pakis and N Korea will come back to bite Chini choemin in the ass.

Chini like to pretend they are visionaries who plan long term strategies, when in fact, they repeatedly commit stupid policy mistake for short term benefits, such as the moronic one child policy.

There is no need to proliferate and spoil our record. One doesn't make the same mistakes that the enemy has made. One learns from them and waits for an opportunity to make the enemy pay.

Exactly my point. My government do not listen to me and is more smarter than any blogger bloggers. But If I am reading them correct they will surprise you, like they did Pakistan in 1971.

They did, you gotta dig this out. The information was available online for many years. It is quite unfortunate that India and others did not formally called out China's rogue practices and spread it to make people aware.
