BUSH WILL SEND MORE DUAL-USE HIGH TECH TO RED CHINA’S PEOPLE’S LIBERATION ARMY

On April 28, "Following a meeting in Washington with Chinese Vice Premier Wu Yi, U.S. Commerce Secretary Donald Evans promised to ease curbs on exports of computers and other technologies that could be used in Chinese weapons systems, reports Charles Smith in NewsMax.com. Smith warns that the curbs could jeopardize U.S. and East Asian security because, as stated in a February 2004 U.S. General Accounting Office [GAO] report, China does not adhere to treaties it has signed on ‘dual use’ equipment. According to the GAO, Beijing continues to violate provisions, such as permitting inspections to verify that exported equipment is not being used for military purposes."
