Furthermore ..

"In 2009, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton wrote to U.S. embassy officials in Cairo describing the State Department's suspicions that Egypt had violated its "end-user agreements" with the U.S. 8 different times over the prior three years. In one instance, Egyptian defense officials allegedly let a Chinese military delegation examine U.S.-made F-16s and related technical facilities"

"PDAS [Tom] Countryman emphasized the importance of a clear and transparent picture of Egypts end-use performance, including the measures being taken to prevent further violations. He noted that Egypt had more potential Section 3 violations than any other country in the world over the last several years. Cases involving the Chinese, he continued, were of particular concern .... The case involving the visit of a Chinese military official to an F-16 base , however, did raise genuine concerns about the transfer of US technology. He noted that U.S. concerns over the visit had already delayed Egypts request to purchase F-16 aircraft"

A Chinese defense company in late 2007 drafted a proposal for submission to the Egyptian military for a test kit designed for use with the US produced AN/ALQ-131 jamming pod and radar warning receiver ......................... this would represent a continuation of a pattern of infractions by Egypt regarding its retransfer and end-use obligations to the United States. Between 2006 and 2007, we notified Congress of 4 possible violations, to include the notification in January 2007 that Egypt allowed testing of a Chinese-manufactured electro-optical countermeasure system ("Bodyguard") against the GOE's U.S.-provided precision guided munitions (PGMs). Most recently in June 2008, the Department notified Congress of an incident involving the possible transfer of a U.S.-origin radar warning receiver technical data to Chinese or French nationals.
