China adding to weapon proliferation: US report.

'PRC proliferation activities have continued to raise questions about China's commitment to non-proliferation.'

By providing nuclear and missile technology to countries like Iran and Pakistan, China is adding to the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, a Congressional report has said.

The report further said that such activities have continued to raise questions about China's commitment to non-proliferation and the need for US sanctions.

"China has taken some steps to mollify US and other foreign concerns about its role in weapons proliferation. Nonetheless, supplies from China have aggravated trends that result in ambiguous technical aid, more indigenous capabilities, longer-range missiles, and secondary (re-transferred) proliferation," the Congressional Research Service (CRS), said in a report to the lawmakers.

According to unclassified intelligence reports submitted to Congress, China has been a "key supplier of technology, particularly PRC (People's Republic of China) entities providing nuclear and missile-related technology to Pakistan and missile-related technology to Iran," said CRS report.


CRS is an independent research wing of the US Congress and prepares internal reports for US lawmakers on issues of their interest.

"PRC proliferation activities have continued to raise questions about China's commitment to non-proliferation and the need for US sanctions," said the report.

The previous Bush Administration imposed sanctions on 20 occasions on various PRC "entities" (including state-owned entities) for troublesome transfers related to missiles and chemical weapons to Pakistan, Iran, or perhaps another country, including repeated sanctions on some "serial proliferators."

"Skeptics question whether China's cooperation in weapons non-proliferation warrants the US pursuit of closer ties, even as sanctions were required against PRC technology transfers. Some criticize the imposition of US sanctions targeting PRC "entities" but not the government. Others doubt the effectiveness of any stress on sanctions over diplomacy," the report said.
Among those sanctions, in September 2001, the Administration imposed missile proliferation sanctions that effectively denied satellite exports, after a PRC company transferred technology to Pakistan, despite the promise of 2000.

In September 2003, the State Department imposed additional sanctions on NORINCO, a defence industrial entity, effectively denying satellite exports to China. However, for six times, the State Department waived this sanction for the ban on imports of other PRC government products related to missiles, space systems, electronics, and military aircraft, and issued a permanent waiver in 2007.

Since 2009, the Obama Administration has imposed sanctions on six occasions on multiple PRC entities for missile or other weapon proliferation, the report said.

The No 1 weapon seller in the World is the US war criminal. The No 1 weapon buyer and importer is the streetdefaecaters and Bollywooddaydreamers who are stockpilling all weapons it could buy all around the world while its own citizens are living in abject proverty with no basic sanitation, hygiene, heath care and of course no toilets. China, the only emerging country under strict weapon and technological embargoes.
All US reports target China as this country is the easy scapegoat, China bullying and bashing by the US politicians are so common that it is not surprising to accuse China of anything.

Agree with the report, China is making the world a more dangerous place selling weapons to likes of North Korea and Pakistan.

More dangerous for India, hence your annoyance at the matter. The world doesn't come into it.

1) The PRC hasn't sold weapons to North Korea ever since it succeeded ROC as a permanent member of the UNSC in 1971. It was part of the deal cut with the US for their supporting bid.

2) They export more arms to gruesome African regimes like Sudan to prop up certain dictators.

3) Some are sold to Middle East states particularily during the Iran-Iraq war to offset their dependence on US arms.

4) At least African and South Asian countries are buying what China sells. Not tacitly implying that India has no sphere of influence and its arms has 0 demand.

Funny, because the US remains absolutely as the world's largest arms exporter, exporting weapons like stealth fighters, weapons, missiles, and guns to countries and rebel militant groups worldwide.

Talking about hypocrisy.
