The United States is angry: China actually sell missiles to Saudi Arabia’s most advanced
current relationship between China and Saudi Arabia, mainly in Beijing need to import energy, and the demand growing rapidly, but China’s long-term goal may be to replace the United States, which it has to protect the security of the Persian Gulf.
Beijing is rapidly becoming a major world oil market, role, it is increasingly clear to energy to national security and the importance of long-term military strategy. The mid-1980s, Beijing’s nuclear warheads to be loaded medium-range CSS-2 ballistic missile to sell Saudi Arabia, and since then, Beijing will spare no effort to develop relations with Riyadh. Some reported that Saudi Arabia funded Pakistan to China to buy missiles and nuclear weapons technology, which Pakistan has become the production and proliferation of nuclear weapons.
China an important part of the strategy is to ensure that can encroach on the Persian Gulf’s oil resources, so it has been maintaining close relations with Saudi Arabia. Until 1995, China was a net oil exporter. However, it was imported in 2001, more than 6000 tons of oil. The next decade, in order to maintain GDP growth, China needs to import at least double the amount of oil. Soon, the Chinese impact on world oil markets will become the major countries, this change will be competition for resources and a great impact on international security relations.
China needs energy reserves in the world to enjoy a greater share, so it has adjusted its foreign policy and energy strategy. It is with Sudan, Venezuela, Iraq and Kazakhstan signed a large amount of oil contracts, and these contracts has brought important military and security protocols. Thousands of Chinese workers and soldiers disguised as oil workers in Sudan’s oil production facilities to maintain security. In spring 2001, Chinese leaders * visit to Venezuela, that the leaders of oil-producing countries, said Jiang Chavez and his socialist revolution is a revolution for the Chinese Maoist model of. Chavez came to power, the sudden the two countries to strengthen bilateral military relations. Agreement between China and Kazakhstan Kazakh oil fields from the construction of a huge oil pipeline across China. China hopes to become the future delivery of oil to Japan and South Korea land bridge, with a view to strengthen its influence in order to achieve the basin to replace the U.S. as the largest country in East Asia’s strategic objectives.
China and Saudi Arabia, the relationship between both arms, there are commercial contracts. In the late 1980s, China sold thirty-six CSS-2 missiles to Saudi Arabia. Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in the south of China who built two bases, the Chinese military responsible for the maintenance of these missiles. Chinese CSS-2 is a major regional nuclear-weapon systems, originally used to target the United States in Japan, Korea and the Philippines military bases. CSS-2′s range of 3,000 miles or so; in theory, be deployed in Saudi Arabia that the missile can hit almost all of the Middle East region and parts of India. CSS-2 system is very heavy, need to spend hundreds of people preparing to launch dozens of military vehicles. It is very corrosive liquid fuel, if inhaled, can cause death; Therefore, adding fuel to operate is extremely complex. Saudi Arabia is likely to rely on the Chinese military experts to do the launch preparations, therefore, under what circumstances the use of these belong to the Saudi missiles, Beijing has a great voice. CSS-2 nuclear weapons, but China sold Saudi Arabia voice call CSS-2 production of conventional warheads. Assumed that the Saudi CSS-2 with conventional warheads, but Beijing has not promised privately to provide nuclear warheads in a crisis, they hit a poor Saudi CSS-2 is basically a pile of waste. Chinese people actually let the Saudis have taken the bait, do not buy a useless old with nuclear warheads on missile systems.
news reports speculated that China has offered to sell Saudi Arabia advanced missile systems, of which 600 km range CSS-6 missiles and a range of 1800 km, using solid fuel CSS-5 missiles; also may be a range of 5500 km of intercontinental ballistic missiles, because it basically added a booster of CSS-2. It is said that the Saudi Defense Minister Prince Sultan and his two sons, Prince Multan Dasu classes (now Ambassador to the U.S.) and Prince Khalid bin Sultan (Saudi Arabia during the Gulf War commander) and China to negotiate a The first missile deal. Prince Sultan went to China for several years conducted several high-level visits. His ranch not far from Riyadh, said in 1988, CSS-2 missiles, transport aircraft landed at the ranch on the airport. That sum of CCS-2 transaction of $ 3 to 3.5 billion U.S. dollars, of course, willing to sell Beijing a complete missile systems to Riyadh, but Saudi people may realize on the transaction to give them trouble In such a large sum of money paid before then, they might consider repeatedly.
most likely in the future to sell missiles to Saudi Arabia, Pakistan. According to many media reports, Saudi Arabia has been funding Pakistan to China to buy missiles and nuclear technology; the 1994 defection of a Saudi diplomat’s report also mentioned this. Pakistan’s fiscal years of deficits, while China can not be in arrears, so the money must not have come at. In May 1999, Pakistan conducted nuclear tests, Prince Sultan visited the card Huta uranium enrichment plant and production of missile facilities. May 2002 Pakistan test-fired missiles can carry nuclear warheads Jiawu Li, the Sultan may also be present. If these reports are true, and that Saudi Arabia is paying to China, Pakistan to allow China to buy missiles and nuclear technology. If this is the case, Saudi Arabia may be purchased through an agent of nuclear technology to China, and Pakistan as is this role. If Riyadh on Pakistan’s nuclear program can also influence, transported to Saudi Arabia as long as the number of missiles and warheads, they can immediately become a true nuclear power.
recent argument is that since 1997, Pakistan has been working with North Korea during the barter transaction: the former to the latter in exchange for China’s nuclear missile technology. As a result, things even more complicated. According to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said that North Korea secretly developing nuclear weapons underground facilities, concentrated in the vicinity of Jinchang in which to do so is a violation of Pyongyang in 1994 to make a commitment. In Pakistan’s nuclear facilities and missile facilities and technical personnel working in China is certainly aware of these transactions, while Beijing has deliberately concealed the message to Washington. These events illustrate, the United States has always been China’s proliferation of missiles and nuclear technology to conduct a blind eye attitude, now has its turn to suffer the.
China and Saudi Arabia have much in common, but not in the near future as China replaced the United States to protect the security of the Persian Gulf. There has been speculation in the Sultan branch of the Saudi royal family if the palm of the right will turn to seek refuge with Beijing. This speculation is illogical, because the United States in the Gulf region has a strong military and economic strength. Sultan family, the people engaged in missile deal with Beijing not to close relations between Saudi Arabia and China. They are for the money, it may be in order to get an atomic bomb. However, if the political situation has changed in Riyadh, may also lead to strategic realignment. Never happened before is not an unexpected event: Saudi Arabia’s neighbors, Iran’s pro-American King of a sudden it fell. In the case of the Saudi royal family suddenly appeared on the succession crisis, China may be waiting in the wings. It is certain: As China’s oil demand is growing, it will do everything possible to expand the existing small influence in the Persian Gulf region, and the relationship with Saudi Arabia is an important part of this strategy.

Former CIA analyst alleges China-Saudi nuclear deal
By Jeff Stein
A former CIA officer who managed intelligence reports on Saudi Arabia has sent an uncleared manuscript to congressional offices claiming that China supplied nuclear missiles to the kingdom early in the George W. Bush administration.
“I believe the People’s Republic of China delivered a turn-key nuclear ballistic missile system to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia over the course of several years beginning no later than December 2003,” writes Jonathan Scherck in a self-published book, “Patriot Lost,” which he provided to SpyTalk on Monday.
He also e-mailed copies to the offices of Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), who chairs the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, and Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-Mich.), ranking Republican on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
Scherck, who became convinced that the White House was covering up the China-Saudi nuclear connection so as not to damage relations with a major U.S. ally and oil supplier, said he formed his conclusions while reading intelligence reports from Riyadh during his 18 months on “the Saudi account” in the Near East Division between 2005 and 2007, as well as talking with other CIA personnel in contact with the Bush White House.
“Based on the author’s knowledge of U.S. satellite imagery spanning this time period, along with first-hand accounts of revealing interactions between Cheney’s office and CIA management,” a press release says, “Patriot Lost details how -- out of political expediency amidst the war in Iraq -- the Bush White House opted not to intervene in an oil-for-nuclear weapons pact between the Chinese government and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This heavily shrouded deal and Washington’s shocking complicity constituted a flagrant violation of the long-standing but crippled Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty ratified decades ago under the Richard Nixon administration.”
But his manuscript provides little in the way of detailed evidence for his conclusions.
Scherck joined the CIA in 2004 but quit before finishing the agency’s rigorous clandestine career training course, in November of that year. He then joined SpecTal, a Reston, Va.-based intelligence contractor, which assigned him to the CIA as a collection management officer on the Saudi desk. He supplied SpyTalk with corroboration of his agency employment and correspondence with the CIA’s Publications Review Board over his manuscript.
Scherck also said he was fired “because of my continued interaction with the NGA” – the National Geospatial Agency, which provides spy satellite pictures to the CIA and other U.S. intelligence components.
He said he tired of the board’s “foot dragging” on his manuscript, although he had submitted it only in April, the correspondence shows. Negotiations can drag on for several months.
Publishing the manuscript without the CIA’s approval opens him to criminal prosecution.
CIA spokesmen were not readily available for comment. Spokesman for Feinstein and Hoekstra could not be reached. (Update: A Feinstein spokesman later said the office was "still digesting" the manuscript and would have no comment.)
“I was a contractor supporting America’s intelligence community,” Scherck writes.
“As a contractor working at CIA … I served as a middleman between HUMINT [human intelligence] collectors in the field overseas and policymakers downtown at the White House and National Security Council. But in this role, I was one of only a few individuals in Washington with access to what was being said overseas at the time about Saudi Arabia’s procurement of a new ballistic missile system from China. “
“I read things, I heard things, I saw things,” he continued. “Admittedly, I did not see all—but I saw enough.”
Over the years there have been constant reports on secret collaboration among China, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan in nuclear and ballistic missile development.
