1985 Taiwanese-born physicist, Peter H. Lee, 58, who formerly worked at the premier U.S. nuclear laboratory at Los Alamos, New Mexico, pleaded guilty in Los Angeles to passing national defense secrets to Chinese scientists in 1985. More recently, during April and May of this year, as an employee of TRW, Inc., where he worked on satellite radar imaging for locating submarines and tracking their movements, Lee had contact with Chinese agents during a lecture tour in mainland China.

1992 A high level Russian military intelligence official and U.S. government investigators told Insight that Chinese agents have formed a secret military partnership with Russian military intelligence. The joint agreement, secretly signed in 1992, calls for intercepting signals from satellites and breaking into private and government computer systems. "They share sensitive information with the goal of destroying the United States," states a former high level Russian intelligence agent.

1993 In response to an inquiry from Chairman Gerald Solomon, R-NY, the Clinton administration has admitted that the China Ocean Shipping Co., COSCO, was caught shipping 87 pounds of heroin in 1993. The Clinton Administration says, however, that it has "no information indicating that Cosco officials were involved in or had knowledge of this heroin shipment."

April 1993 Jerry Parks, Clinton security man who worked closely with Vince Foster, found dead.
July 1993 Vince Foster killed in Ft. Marcy Park in Washington DC. Clinton begins gutting military forces. See Ruddy.
1994 Biospheres in the US and minerals in China. (Ray Briem radio show aired 3/27/97.) Clinton locks up minerals in US so businesses must buy from China.
K: I hope they are able to do something. When we had the DESERT PROTECTION ACT going through California in 1994 folks tried to come together and stop it, but we ended up with the DEATH VALLEY INTERNATIONAL BIOSPHERE and 8 MILLION ACRES of desert taken. By the way, I'm doing a story on a CHINA CONNECTION with all this. When we had the Desert Wilderness Act passed and the 8 million acres put into the biosphere -- that shut down the small Mom-&-Pop mines that produced the MINERAL called YTTRIUM. YTTRIUM is used in our STEALTH FIGHTERS, all our MILITARY ELECTRONICS....
R: LET ME GUESS! So the only other WORLD supplier is in CHINA!?
K: You got it! Not only that, but SENATOR DIANE FEINSTEIN's HUSBAND, DICK BLUM cut a deal with the CHINESE to IMPORT Yttrium into this country and Feinstein was one of the Senator's who received money into her campaign from the Chinese. I'm now getting info that there are TWO (2) areas in the San Francisco Bay area -- HUNTER's POINT & I believe it's TREASURE ISLAND -- where the Chinese are going to come in, do the same thing there. That is CATELLUS property which is AGAIN connected to Sen. Diane Feinstein. So I think we have another big story coming up, Ray.

1994 In 1994, sophisticated telecommunications technology was transferred to a U.S.-Chinese joint venture called HUA MEI, in which the Chinese partner (Galaxy New Technology) is an entity controlled by the Chinese Army. The US partner was SCM Brooks Telecommunications. This particular transfer included fiber-optic communications equipment which is used for high-speed, secure communications over long distances. Also included in the package was advanced encryption software.

1995 John Fialka of the Wall Street Journal reports today that Silicon Graphics, Inc., currently under investigation by the Commerce Department and the U.S. Attorney for selling four supercomputers to Russia's key nuclear weapons design lab at Chelyabinsk-70 (See Foreign Policy Alert No. 33, February 19), "has sold two similar computers to China's Academy of Sciences, which also conducts research into nuclear weapons and missiles." CEO Edward McCracken is a Republican who gave money to the Clinton-Gore campaigns in 1992 and 1996.
Feb 1996 Chinese Long March rocket explodes with a Loral communications satellite on it. The top secret encryption board is missing from the satellite.
Apr 3, 1996 Ron Brown and occupants die in plane crash near Dubrovnik, Croatia. Whitehouse wanted to hire John Huang (president of Lippo Group USA), but Brown didn't want him there. Huang's immediate supervisor was also killed in this plane crash. Brown had a suspicious gunshot wound in the head. When Navy pathologists tried to make this public, superiors suppressed the issue. Air Force orders no safety investigation for the first time in history. Brown was put on the plane at the last minute, for a trade mission to Croatia, and just before he was to give a deposition for an investigation into Huang. Gormley, appearing on BET Tonight, a national black cable network show hosted by Tavis Smiley, Gormley admitted that a photograph and lateral X-ray of Brown's head both of which have been published in the Tribune- Review indeed prove the skull had been penetrated and that Brown's brain was visible. Later, Gormley changes his story to: he described the hole as having "no open communication with the inside of the head," with no brain visible. He said the "punched out" defect had simply been "depressed" but was still visible, covering the brain.
The body was immediately cremated, against the wishes of the family. Wecht and Cogswell agree an autopsy should have been done on Brown. A total of 4 other pathologists say it looked like a gunshot wound and an autopsy should have been performed.
John Huang used his top secret clearance to gain access to classified U.S. military and industrial secrets on encryption technology and its relationship to intelligence gathering and software marketing across the world. He then took the documents across the street, to an office run by Riady partner Stephens' of Little Rock, where he dropped the documents so they could be collected by Chinese intelligence.
July 1996 Clinton signed a waiver for Loral to export a fully operational, encrypted, satellite control station to Beijing. According to the GAO, Clinton authorized the direct export of an encrypted air-defense communications system directly to the Chinese Air Force.

Sept 1996 Utah ranchland owners and other participants in the Western States Coalition we attended in Salt Lake City told us they’ve been suspicious about the Clinton Administration’s real motive for locking up 7 billion tons of clean-burning coal worth $1 trillion. Investigations of this action could reveal financial motives for other federal resource lockups such as timber, gold mines and oil fields: Protection, all right - from new competition!
President Clinton, using questionable authority of the Antiquities Act, in September declared almost 2 million acres of southwestern Utah as the Escalante National Monument. That precludes mining of a 3,400-acre mineral lease held by the Dutch-owned firm, Andalex Resources, Inc., which has U.S. offices in Madisonville, Kentucky.
Now, as Clinton’s connections with Indonesia’s $6-billion Lippo Group conglomerate come out, coal begins to figure in. The massive reserve of $1 trillion clean-burning Utah coal could have fueled power plants across the Midwest and Southwest, including a huge coal-fired electrical plant planned for Ensenada, Mexico.
The world’s only known other huge deposit of such high-quality coal now under development is in South Kalimantan, Indonesia. A report in the Energy Economist, Sept. 1994, described a memorandum of understanding between a 1,200-megawatt Chinese coal firm and a consortium of a Lippo Group entity in Hong Kong linked with the Entergy Group of - Little Rock, Arkansas. One of Kalimantan island's big customers will likely be a coal-fired power plant in China's Fujian province. The New York Times has reported that the $2 billion Chinese project is being organized by a bank holding company controlled by Lippo. Entergy also gives a lot of money to Democrats. Since '94, the firm has given $224,000 in soft money alone. And officials went on Commerce Department trade junkets that critics charge were used to raise political cash. Entergy is also helping to build power plants in Indonesia.
National Empowerment TV’s "American Investigator" show will air a report on this at 8 p.m. EST Dec. 19. The special is called "Quid Pro Coal." An environmental author, Sarah Foster of Sacramento, Calif., tells us President Clinton, "with a stroke of his pen, wiped out the only significant competition to Indonesian coal interests..."

May 27, 1997 A TWENTY-strong flotilla of fishing and pleasure craft organised by Chinese nationalists was intercepted by scores of Japanese patrol boats yesterday near the disputed Diaoyutai Islands in the East China Sea. One Chinese vessel deliberately crashed into a Japanese patrol boat.
The rival vessels played cat and mouse on the high seas in a repeat of the events last year that led to the drowning of a Chinese activist who tried to plant his country's flag on one of the barren islands. No one was hurt during yesterday's engagement. But it was a reminder of the tension arising from conflicting claims to the island chain by China, Taiwan and Japan.
Japan's coastal patrol vessels had ample time to head off the latest attempt by Hong Kong and Taiwanese activists to land on what Tokyo calls its Senkaku Islands. They homed in at a point about 12 miles from the island chain. Two Japanese boats were assigned to each of the vessels, making further progress by the activists difficult and a landing impossible.

Sep 27, 1997 China's People's Liberation Army has landed on American shores and soon may be partners with the Russian military-intelligence service in a venture to build a rocket-launching pad in the Long Beach harbor. Why Long Beach? Twenty-nine other military bases have closed in California. But the China Ocean Shipping Co., or Cosco, wants the historic U.S. naval base in Long Beach, which scores of America's great warships have called home. The Clinton administration insists this will produce an economic boom, creating 600 jobs and dumping millions into the local economy. Critics claim the deal jeopardizes national security by allowing Beijing to create an espionage operation in the heart of a military high-tech industrial zone. . . . .
The sudden interest in this base by Cosco may have to do more with its next-door neighbor -- Sea Launch, an international venture led by the Russian rocket firm RSC-Energia, which plans to use it to launch rockets carrying satellites into orbit. Insight reported earlier this year that Cosco plans to use the old Long Beach Naval Base for a joint Chinese-Russian intelligence operation as part of a spy partnership formed when the two countries signed a secret agreement in 1992 (see "Why Red China Targets the Clinton White House," May 26). All of this, Insight revealed, has been confirmed by U.S. intelligence sources working closely with the FBI. [Cosco also happens to make inexpensive cribs and toys, which are frequently recalled by the CPSC (http://www.cpsc.gov/).]
The facility is adjacent to the U.S. military base where Cosco plans to build a 145-acre, $200 million terminal and on-dock rail yard. The space company's plan includes converting a 31,000-ton oil rig into a launch pad and a 650-foot ship into a rocket-assembly factory and mission-control center. Sources close to the investigation tell Insight that Cosco is known to work closely with the Chinese navy. Cosco plans to expand its Long Beach base to 275 acres, which would make it the largest proprietary container terminal in the United States. The Chinese goal is to move into the naval base by the summer of 1998 with six large, new container ships, each with a capacity of 5,250 20-foot container units -- making it nearly impossible for U.S. Customs agents to inspect the fleet cargoes.
The White House even granted Cosco adviser Hongye Zheng permission to attend one of the president's intimate Saturday-morning radio broadcasts last year. That decision came after Los Angeles businessman Johnny Chung dumped $391,000 into Democratic Party coffers. Shortly after those donations, Dorothy Robyn of the president's National Economic Council called Long Beach officials to push the deal through.

Oct 22, 1997 A 1996 CIA analysis concluded that Beijing has engaged in "a program to 'deceive' the U.S. about 'future' illicit sales of nuclear weapons-related hardware and technology," noting that the action "is called 'Denial and Deception.'" Echoing a September Congressional Research Service report, Triplett concludes by observing that "there is no known case of the Chinese government ever fully complying with any of its major arms control agreements, whether multilateral or bilateral with the United States."

Nov 7, 1997 Clinton oks sale of nuclear technology to China. Clinton says the sale of U.S. reactor technology to China would cut down on "greenhouse gas" emissions by reducing Beijing's dependence on coal. Yet according to the Associated Press, the administration has made no such argument for nuclear power "as it maps out strategies to curtail carbon monoxide emissions to meet climate treaty obligations and to reduce smog-causing chemicals coming from the smokestacks of [American] power plants."

Nov 24, 1997 If Democratic Senators did the bidding of China on the Senate Governmental Affairs Committee, are they doing the bidding of China in thwarting the investigation by the Independent Counsels as well? Consider the following:
Senator Carl Levin (D-MI) has, for over a year, demanded immense quantities of paperwork from independent counsels who pose threats to President Clinton. The independent counsels have no doubts about what Levin is up to. "This information would go right into the skunk works at the White House to use against us," a senior lawyer in one of the independent counsel offices told columnist Bob Novak last week. "But we are not intimidated."

Dec 11, 1997 Information and counter-information technology as primary weapons systems of 21st century warfare has become a principal doctrinal theme promoted by senior commanders of the Chinese military. The Far Eastern Economic Review cites an article by three members of the People's Liberation Army's Academy of Electronic Technology, who write that China has abandoned "traditional concepts of war making...which emphasized the destruction of hardware, attacking cities, seizing territory and inflicting casualties. Now, the struggle to control information is the focus of weapons systems and the countermeasures taken against these systems."
The article, which appeared in China Computer World, adds that new military heroes will "combine the expertise of electronics experts, computer experts and information engineers." International defense experts state that among the principal weapons of information technology warfare used to paralyze national defense systems will be computer viruses and so-called 'logic bombs.'

Jan 1998 The State Department's annual human rights report depicted China as "somewhat more tolerant" toward dissent and that Chinese authorities have taken other "positive steps on human rights,"even though serious problems remain. According to the New York Times and Washington Post, the report's conclusion is in sharp contrast to last year's findings that, "All public dissent against the communist party and government was effectively silenced by intimidation, exile, the imposition of prison terms, administrative detention or house arrest. No dissidents were known to be active..." [Remember, Sec. of State Madeline Albright was also very soft on Saddam Hussein (Iraq) weapon inspections.

May 17, 1998 The New York Times reports that U.S. defense and intelligence agencies sharply advocated against permitting American-made satellites to be launched aboard Chinese rockets because of technological secrets embedded in commercial satellites. The restrictions were lifted in March 1996, when President Clinton took commercial satellites off the "munitions" list and transferred the control of licensing communications satellites for export from the State Department to the Commerce Department, headed by Ron Brown. During this same period, an executive of a major Chinese beneficiary of Clinton's decision, state-owned China Aerospace, transferred tens of thousands of dollars from Chinese intelligence to Clinton's Democratic Party in the summer of 1996.
The Times adds that the transfer of U.S. satellite technology to China began when President George Bush waived some Tiananmen Square-related sanctions in 1990, including launches on China's then-unreliable Long March missiles. After Clinton took office, business leaders began a campaign to remove restrictions. In 1995, the debate came to a head when C. Michael Armstrong, CEO of Hughes Electronics and the new head of Clinton's export council, urged the administration to permit satellites, which Hughes produces, to no longer be treated as military goods. A primary objection from U.S. defense officials was based on the encryption equipment built into satellites that interprets instructions from the ground. Similar devices are used to communicate with U.S. spy satellites. The Pentagon worried that anyone who cracked the code could take control of the satellites.

May 29, 1998 After Pakistan conducted five nuclear test blasts, U.S. intelligence officials and defense experts claim that China provided Pakistan with key expertise and equipment to develop its nuclear weapons and missile programs, reports the Washington Times. "China has had a major hand in what happened today," said former CIA director James Woolsey. U.S. government policy of relaxing [dual-use] exports to China also had "some hand in giving the Indians an excuse to test," he said. U.S. analyst William Triplett, added, "The entire Pakistani weapons program should be stamped 'Made in China.'"
Announcing the successful tests, Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif stated that China was a loyal ally despite past U.S. sanctions on both Pakistan and China aimed at curbing missile and strategic material transfers. "Pakistan-China friendship has made it through all tests," he said. "We are very proud of our neighbor China for all its help."
Writing in the New York Times, Indian columnist Pem Shankar Jha states that India conducted its nuclear tests after Pakistan changed the strategic equation on the subcontinent by launching the intermediate-range Ghauri ballistic missile on April 6. The missile, which the Indian government believes is a product of Chinese technology, is named after a 12th Century Muslim conqueror of northern India. Subsequent statements by Pakistani leaders stated that they could now hit 26 Indian cities with strategic weapons. In addition, Indian intelligence believes that Chinese scientists were helping Pakistan to make nuclear weapons small enough to mount on a warhead. "What tipped India over the brink," Jha states, "was ... intent on constructive engagement with China and Pakistan, the U.S. has simply disregarded India's fears."

Jun 4, 1998 Chairman Gilman, of the House International Relations committee, comments on China selling body parts.
In 1996, Amnesty International reported what it described as a close liaison between Chinese courts, health departments and hospitals over the distribution of transplant organs. The report stated that "the secrecy surrounding the process, the fact that organ transplantation represents a source of income for hospitals, and the reported practice of giving gifts to officials involved in the execution of prisoners, all suggests that, in some cases, the imposition and timing of the death penalty may be influenced by the need for organs for transplantation." Amnesty International went on to state that the Chinese legal system provides no protection against such abuse, while noting that 90 percent of all organs transplanted in China are from executed prisoners. On October 15th, 1997, ABC News aired an investigative report titled "Blood Money." A hidden camera showed a Chinese doctor and his wife accepting a down payment of $30,000 for a kidney from a Chinese prisoner who had been executed. On February 20, 1998, the FBI arrested two other Chinese citizens in New York on charges of conspiracy to sell organs, including kidneys, corneas, livers, skin, pancreases and lungs for transplant.
According to the report, the involvement of Chinese doctors and other medical personnel in the process of removing executed prisoners' organs is extensive. Before the executions, medical workers perform blood tests to determine the prisoner's health and suitability as an organ donor. Medical personnel are at the place of execution, so that, at the moment of death, they can immediately remove the organs and rush them to the hospital for transplantation.

"If you really want to make China an enemy, you will find that China is not only an unbeatable enemy, it is also an unreasonable enemy," he warned. "As the Cold War victor, the United States is seeking to promote American-style democracy, using ideology as a basic diplomatic lever, and could follow the same path to ruin as the former Soviet Union... Because of sensitivity to some international anti-China and anti-communist adverse currents and hegemonistic politics, (China) can easily be aroused to parochial nationalism and make irrational mistakes."

"Their record to date is clear: Beijing continues to bar access to its markets; violates trade agreements; proliferates weapons of mass destruction, ballistic missiles and enabling technologies; and represses fundamental human rights all while enjoying unimpeded access to the markets of our great nation. Beijing imposes a 23 percent tariff on American goods shipped to China, while Chinese products entering our market enjoy a preferential four percent tariff under MFN. Thanks to the trade advantage conferred by MFN, China sends 33 percent of its exports to our Nation, but only two percent of ours go to China. Continual renewal of MFN status, which, by the way, was never given to the Soviet Union, gives China no incentive to open its markets to American goods or to make its economy more competitive.

Jul 28, 1998 BEIJING: In its first public defense policy review in three years, China renewed a threat on Monday to retake Taiwan by force, criticized nuclear tests by India and Pakistan and hinted that the United States is a potential menace to security. The state council, or cabinet, in issuing the review on Monday reiterated that China wants a stable world order to pursue its primary goal of economic development. It vowed never to attack or invade unless first attacked. A report published by China noted that last year's defense budget (1997) of 81.3 billion ($ 9.8 billion) amounted to less than 4 percent of what the U.S. spends. Foreign military analysts have for years disputed the published figure as ridiculously low given the PLA's sustained foreign buying spree and missile-development program. Taiwan's defense ministry noted in March that China was spending at least three times the acknowledged amount on defense.

5-6-99 The Justice Department is setting up a special task force to investigate the FBI's probe of a Los Alamos computer scientist suspected of passing nuclear weapons secrets to China. A senior Justice Department official told The Washington Times that Attorney General Janet Reno and Deputy Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. will soon appoint a panel headed by a federal prosecutor and supported by FBI agents. An announcement could come as early as the end of this week, the official said. "This will be a top-to-bottom review," the official said. "As bad as this reflects on the department and the bureau, the task force is just trying to get the facts of 'who shot John.' " The creation of the task force is another sign the Clinton administration did not act promptly in the Chinese spying affair. Energy Secretary Bill Richardson said last week that his agency also mishandled the compromise of nuclear warhead secrets. Senate Judicary Comm'tee Chairman Mr. Orrin Hatch said at the time the department turned down the FBI request, Mr. Lee was under investigation because of a phone call he made to another Taiwanese-born scientist, Peter Lee, who was fired from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California after an investigation of China's theft of neutron bomb secrets. Failures in the spy case include: - Mr. Lee had continued access to classified information at Los Alamos after he came under suspicion of spying from October 1997 until late 1998. - A later polygraph test of Mr. Lee, administered by the FBI, showed that the scientist gave misleading and deceptive answers to questions about passing information to China. Neither polygraph test was coordinated with espionage prosecutors in government. - The Justice Department Office of Intelligence Policy and Review rejected an FBI request to wiretap Mr. Lee's telephone. The request was turned down by a political appointee, Frances Fragos Townsend, who is the department's counsel for intelligence policy. The task force will try to find out why the request was denied. The secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court has never turned down a request for electronic surveillance in a spy case. - In separate hearings before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, Los Alamos Director John Browne testified that as early as 1996, he wanted to examine Mr. Lee's computers but was warned off by Justice Department lawyers who feared the search would taint information for use in court. http://www.washtimes.com/news/news1.html 5-7-99 It now turns out that in November 1998, a secret report distributed to senior Clinton administration officials --including National Security Adviser Sandy Berger, Attorney General Janet Reno and Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary Bill Richardson -- informed them that between October 1997 and June 1998 there were more than 300 foreign attacks on DOE's unclassified computer systems. Noting that "China represents an acute intelligence threat to DOE," the secret report stated that instances in which foreign countries successfully penetrated DOE's unclassified computer system resulted in "complete access and total control to create, view, modify or execute any and all information stored on the system," the New York Times reported last Sunday. It was not until April 1999, nearly a half year after the secret report was issued in November, that Mr. Richardson shut down the DOE's classified computer system in order to improve its security. Unfortunately, this is only the latest in a string of intelligence disasters. The administration first learned in early 1995 that China may have stolen the United States' most sensitive nuclear secrets. U.S. nuclear-weapons experts at DOE detected that China was testing a smaller, more powerful nuclear warhead that was very similar to the W-88, the state-of-the-art warhead now deployed on U.S. submarine-launched ballistic missiles. In late 1995, DOE investigators informed the FBI. By February 1996, DOE counterintelligence officers and the FBI identified Mr. Lee, a computer scientist in DOE's Los Alamos nuclear-weapons laboratory, as a primary suspect who "stuck out like a sore thumb." DOE briefed the CIA in early 1996. Stunned by the revelations flowing from DOE briefers' charts and drawings, Paul Redmond, the CIA's chief spy hunter, concluded that China's nuclear espionage would prove to be "just as bad as the Rosenbergs" and "far more damaging to the national security than Aldrich Ames" -- an assessment the White House strenuously rejected. Miss Reno's Justice Department did its part. From October 1996, when the campaign-finance scandal erupted, to the present, Miss Reno has repeatedly refused to seek the appointment of an independent counsel to investigate the Chinese-Democratic Party money connection. Meanwhile, other senior Justice officials repeatedly refused in 1997 to seek a court-approved wiretap that would have allowed the FBI to examine Mr. Lee's office computer. DOE did its part as well. Without the wiretap, the FBI was unable to pursue aggressively its investigation of Mr. Lee. In April 1997, with its investigation stalled, the FBI advised DOE to remove Mr. Lee from his sensitive position. Instead, DOE inexplicably placed Mr. Lee in charge of updating the computerized archive of nuclear secrets. As the New York Times recently reported, Mr. Lee had previously downloaded more than a thousand computer files from Los Alamos' classified computer system into its unclassified computer system. Most of this downloading, which includes virtually all the nuclear secrets of the U.S. arsenal, occurred in 1994 and 1995. Had Miss Reno's Justice Department obtained the court-approved wiretap in early 1997, the FBI would have learned about Mr. Lee's unauthorized downloading two years earlier. Meanwhile, DOE refused for several years to reinstate the FBI-recommended background checks for visitors to its weapons labs, and the counterintelligence officer who uncovered the espionage has testified before Congress that an acting DOE secretary prevented him from briefing Congress about the Chinese spying.

The US partner was SCM Brooks Telecommunications. This particular transfer included fiber-optic communications equipment which is used for high-speed, secure communications over long distances. Also included in the package was advanced encryption software.

Apr 3, 1996 Ron Brown and occupants die in plane crash near Dubrovnik, Croatia. Whitehouse wanted to hire John Huang (president of Lippo Group USA), but Brown didn't want him there. Huang's immediate supervisor was also killed in this plane crash. Brown had a suspicious gunshot wound in the head. When Navy pathologists tried to make this public, superiors suppressed the issue. Air Force orders no safety investigation for the first time in history. Brown was put on the plane at the last minute, for a trade mission to Croatia, and just before he was to give a deposition for an investigation into Huang. Gormley, appearing on BET Tonight, a national black cable network show hosted by Tavis Smiley, Gormley admitted that a photograph and lateral X-ray of Brown's head both of which have been published in the Tribune- Review indeed prove the skull had been penetrated and that Brown's brain was visible. Later, Gormley changes his story to: he described the hole as having "no open communication with the inside of the head," with no brain visible. He said the "punched out" defect had simply been "depressed" but was still visible, covering the brain.
The body was immediately cremated, against the wishes of the family. Wecht and Cogswell agree an autopsy should have been done on Brown. A total of 4 other pathologists say it looked like a gunshot wound and an autopsy should have been performed.
John Huang used his top secret clearance to gain access to classified U.S. military and industrial secrets on encryption technology and its relationship to intelligence gathering and software marketing across the world. He then took the documents across the street, to an office run by Riady partner Stephens' of Little Rock, where he dropped the documents so they could be collected by Chinese intelligence.
July 1996 Clinton signed a waiver for Loral to export a fully operational, encrypted, satellite control station to Beijing. According to the GAO, Clinton authorized the direct export of an encrypted air-defense communications system directly to the Chinese Air Force.

Sept 1996 Utah ranchland owners and other participants in the Western States Coalition we attended in Salt Lake City told us they’ve been suspicious about the Clinton Administration’s real motive for locking up 7 billion tons of clean-burning coal worth $1 trillion. Investigations of this action could reveal financial motives for other federal resource lockups such as timber, gold mines and oil fields: Protection, all right - from new competition!
President Clinton, using questionable authority of the Antiquities Act, in September declared almost 2 million acres of southwestern Utah as the Escalante National Monument. That precludes mining of a 3,400-acre mineral lease held by the Dutch-owned firm, Andalex Resources, Inc., which has U.S. offices in Madisonville, Kentucky.
Now, as Clinton’s connections with Indonesia’s $6-billion Lippo Group conglomerate come out, coal begins to figure in. The massive reserve of $1 trillion clean-burning Utah coal could have fueled power plants across the Midwest and Southwest, including a huge coal-fired electrical plant planned for Ensenada, Mexico.
The world’s only known other huge deposit of such high-quality coal now under development is in South Kalimantan, Indonesia. A report in the Energy Economist, Sept. 1994, described a memorandum of understanding between a 1,200-megawatt Chinese coal firm and a consortium of a Lippo Group entity in Hong Kong linked with the Entergy Group of - Little Rock, Arkansas. One of Kalimantan island's big customers will likely be a coal-fired power plant in China's Fujian province. The New York Times has reported that the $2 billion Chinese project is being organized by a bank holding company controlled by Lippo. Entergy also gives a lot of money to Democrats. Since '94, the firm has given $224,000 in soft money alone. And officials went on Commerce Department trade junkets that critics charge were used to raise political cash. Entergy is also helping to build power plants in Indonesia.
National Empowerment TV’s "American Investigator" show will air a report on this at 8 p.m. EST Dec. 19. The special is called "Quid Pro Coal." An environmental author, Sarah Foster of Sacramento, Calif., tells us President Clinton, "with a stroke of his pen, wiped out the only significant competition to Indonesian coal interests..."

May 27, 1997 A TWENTY-strong flotilla of fishing and pleasure craft organised by Chinese nationalists was intercepted by scores of Japanese patrol boats yesterday near the disputed Diaoyutai Islands in the East China Sea. One Chinese vessel deliberately crashed into a Japanese patrol boat.
The rival vessels played cat and mouse on the high seas in a repeat of the events last year that led to the drowning of a Chinese activist who tried to plant his country's flag on one of the barren islands. No one was hurt during yesterday's engagement. But it was a reminder of the tension arising from conflicting claims to the island chain by China, Taiwan and Japan.
Japan's coastal patrol vessels had ample time to head off the latest attempt by Hong Kong and Taiwanese activists to land on what Tokyo calls its Senkaku Islands. They homed in at a point about 12 miles from the island chain. Two Japanese boats were assigned to each of the vessels, making further progress by the activists difficult and a landing impossible.

Sep 27, 1997 China's People's Liberation Army has landed on American shores and soon may be partners with the Russian military-intelligence service in a venture to build a rocket-launching pad in the Long Beach harbor. Why Long Beach? Twenty-nine other military bases have closed in California. But the China Ocean Shipping Co., or Cosco, wants the historic U.S. naval base in Long Beach, which scores of America's great warships have called home. The Clinton administration insists this will produce an economic boom, creating 600 jobs and dumping millions into the local economy. Critics claim the deal jeopardizes national security by allowing Beijing to create an espionage operation in the heart of a military high-tech industrial zone. . . . .
The sudden interest in this base by Cosco may have to do more with its next-door neighbor -- Sea Launch, an international venture led by the Russian rocket firm RSC-Energia, which plans to use it to launch rockets carrying satellites into orbit. Insight reported earlier this year that Cosco plans to use the old Long Beach Naval Base for a joint Chinese-Russian intelligence operation as part of a spy partnership formed when the two countries signed a secret agreement in 1992 (see "Why Red China Targets the Clinton White House," May 26). All of this, Insight revealed, has been confirmed by U.S. intelligence sources working closely with the FBI. [Cosco also happens to make inexpensive cribs and toys, which are frequently recalled by the CPSC (http://www.cpsc.gov/).]
The facility is adjacent to the U.S. military base where Cosco plans to build a 145-acre, $200 million terminal and on-dock rail yard. The space company's plan includes converting a 31,000-ton oil rig into a launch pad and a 650-foot ship into a rocket-assembly factory and mission-control center. Sources close to the investigation tell Insight that Cosco is known to work closely with the Chinese navy. Cosco plans to expand its Long Beach base to 275 acres, which would make it the largest proprietary container terminal in the United States. The Chinese goal is to move into the naval base by the summer of 1998 with six large, new container ships, each with a capacity of 5,250 20-foot container units -- making it nearly impossible for U.S. Customs agents to inspect the fleet cargoes.
The White House even granted Cosco adviser Hongye Zheng permission to attend one of the president's intimate Saturday-morning radio broadcasts last year. That decision came after Los Angeles businessman Johnny Chung dumped $391,000 into Democratic Party coffers. Shortly after those donations, Dorothy Robyn of the president's National Economic Council called Long Beach officials to push the deal through.

Dec 11, 1997 Information and counter-information technology as primary weapons systems of 21st century warfare has become a principal doctrinal theme promoted by senior commanders of the Chinese military. The Far Eastern Economic Review cites an article by three members of the People's Liberation Army's Academy of Electronic Technology, who write that China has abandoned "traditional concepts of war making...which emphasized the destruction of hardware, attacking cities, seizing territory and inflicting casualties. Now, the struggle to control information is the focus of weapons systems and the countermeasures taken against these systems."
The article, which appeared in China Computer World, adds that new military heroes will "combine the expertise of electronics experts, computer experts and information engineers."

May 17, 1998 The New York Times reports that U.S. defense and intelligence agencies sharply advocated against permitting American-made satellites to be launched aboard Chinese rockets because of technological secrets embedded in commercial satellites. The restrictions were lifted in March 1996, when President Clinton took commercial satellites off the "munitions" list and transferred the control of licensing communications satellites for export from the State Department to the Commerce Department, headed by Ron Brown. During this same period, an executive of a major Chinese beneficiary of Clinton's decision, state-owned China Aerospace, transferred tens of thousands of dollars from Chinese intelligence to Clinton's Democratic Party in the summer of 1996.
The Times adds that the transfer of U.S. satellite technology to China began when President George Bush waived some Tiananmen Square-related sanctions in 1990, including launches on China's then-unreliable Long March missiles. After Clinton took office, business leaders began a campaign to remove restrictions. In 1995, the debate came to a head when C. Michael Armstrong, CEO of Hughes Electronics and the new head of Clinton's export council, urged the administration to permit satellites, which Hughes produces, to no longer be treated as military goods. A primary objection from U.S. defense officials was based on the encryption equipment built into satellites that interprets instructions from the ground. Similar devices are used to communicate with U.S. spy satellites. The Pentagon worried that anyone who cracked the code could take control of the satellites.

"China has had a major hand in what happened today," said former CIA director James Woolsey. U.S. government policy of relaxing [dual-use] exports to China also had "some hand in giving the Indians an excuse to test," he said.

Jun 4, 1998 Chairman Gilman, of the House International Relations committee, comments on China selling body parts.
In 1996, Amnesty International reported what it described as a close liaison between Chinese courts, health departments and hospitals over the distribution of transplant organs. The report stated that "the secrecy surrounding the process, the fact that organ transplantation represents a source of income for hospitals, and the reported practice of giving gifts to officials involved in the execution of prisoners, all suggests that, in some cases, the imposition and timing of the death penalty may be influenced by the need for organs for transplantation." Amnesty International went on to state that the Chinese legal system provides no protection against such abuse, while noting that 90 percent of all organs transplanted in China are from executed prisoners. On October 15th, 1997, ABC News aired an investigative report titled "Blood Money." A hidden camera showed a Chinese doctor and his wife accepting a down payment of $30,000 for a kidney from a Chinese prisoner who had been executed. On February 20, 1998, the FBI arrested two other Chinese citizens in New York on charges of conspiracy to sell organs, including kidneys, corneas, livers, skin, pancreases and lungs for transplant.
According to the report, the involvement of Chinese doctors and other medical personnel in the process of removing executed prisoners' organs is extensive. Before the executions, medical workers perform blood tests to determine the prisoner's health and suitability as an organ donor. Medical personnel are at the place of execution, so that, at the moment of death, they can immediately remove the organs and rush them to the hospital for transplantation.

Jun 13, 1998 Chinese government publicly scorned a US Congress resolution urging China to renounce the use of force against Taiwan, stating that Beijing has the right to attack the island, one of Asia's most successful democracies, the Hong Kong Standard reports.
China's ambassador to the United States, Li Zhaoxing, stated that congressional criticism of China is jeopardizing $750 billion in contracts that American businesses could bid on to build highways and other infrastructure projects, the Scripps Howard News Service reports. Charles Lewis, vice-president of the National [US] Association of Manufacturers accused the Congress of "China bashing", saying, "They could not have picked a worse time to overturn the apple cart." Lewis, while not commenting on the Chinese missile and election finance scandal, added that US business is "redoubling" its effort to assure Congress extends Most Favored Nation Trade status for imports from China. [US business seems to want to transfer technology to give the Chi-coms more of an edge in favor of the all-powerful dollar, and in the process make the US relatively weaker vs. China.]

Jun 17, 1998 In a speech at Harvard University, Liu Ji, a top advisor to Chinese leader Jiang Jemin, stated to the US that to protect Communist Party rule, China could easily turn hostile, Reuters reports. "China, out of ideological and moral obligations, can easily become an anti-American force," said Liu, vice-president of the Chinese Academy of Social Scientists, the government's premier think-thank. "If you really want to make China an enemy, you will find that China is not only an unbeatable enemy, it is also an unreasonable enemy," he warned. "As the Cold War victor, the United States is seeking to promote American-style democracy, using ideology as a basic diplomatic lever, and could follow the same path to ruin as the former Soviet Union... Because of sensitivity to some international anti-China and anti-communist adverse currents and hegemonistic politics, (China) can easily be aroused to parochial nationalism and make irrational mistakes."

Jun 21, 1998. Preparing to depart for China, President Clinton stated that he supports giving China permanent Most Favored Nation trade status rather than Congress annually reviewing Beijing's trade privileges, the Washington Post reports. "I don't think this debate every year serves a particularly useful purpose," Clinton said, fully reversing the vows he made while running for president in 1992, when he linked China's trade status to human rights. [Clinton gets closer with the Chinese for personal gain and sells out US security in the process.]

Jun 24, 1998. Diplomatic sources in Beijing say that China has fixed on a strategy of "Pakistan and Iran for Taiwan," for the Clinton-Jiang summit in Beijing, the South China Morning Post reports. Beijing is hoping that Bill Clinton will make a concession on US policy on (defensive) arms sales to Taiwan in exchange for China promising to scale-down proliferation and export of military know-how to Iran and Pakistan. [Please! China would never keep a promise that is not in its best interest.]

One summit agreement will formalize Chinese military observers at US-allied "Rimpac 98" naval exercises near Hawaii and the "Co-operative Coop Thunder" air force exercise in Alaska this July. "The invitation is a gesture designed to increase the transparency of our militaries," the Pentagon says. [Chi-coms gather more intel on US troops and technology.]

Jul 18, 1998 The Pentagon's elite Special Forces soldiers will train PLA troops under a plan being considered by Washington. The possibility was confirmed by Pentagon spokesman Kenneth Bacon after US Special Operations chief General Peter Schoomaker said he hoped to see such links. At the same time, Mr Bacon endorsed a Congress-mandated panel's conclusion that China was a major exporter of ballistic missile technology to Iran, branded by Washington as the world's biggest state sponsor of "terrorism", and other states. "It's true, and it's unfortunate," he said. The panel, chaired by former defence secretary Donald Rumsfeld, reported that China posed a threat to US national security "as a significant proliferator of ballistic missiles, weapons of mass destruction and enabling technologies".

Jul 22, 1998 House International Committee news, Chairmain Gilman comments on MFN status for China.
"Their record to date is clear: Beijing continues to bar access to its markets; violates trade agreements; proliferates weapons of mass destruction, ballistic missiles and enabling technologies; and represses fundamental human rights all while enjoying unimpeded access to the markets of our great nation. Beijing imposes a 23 percent tariff on American goods shipped to China, while Chinese products entering our market enjoy a preferential four percent tariff under MFN. Thanks to the trade advantage conferred by MFN, China sends 33 percent of its exports to our Nation, but only two percent of ours go to China. Continual renewal of MFN status, which, by the way, was never given to the Soviet Union, gives China no incentive to open its markets to American goods or to make its economy more competitive.

Jul 28, 1998 BEIJING: In its first public defense policy review in three years, China renewed a threat on Monday to retake Taiwan by force, criticized nuclear tests by India and Pakistan and hinted that the United States is a potential menace to security. The state council, or cabinet, in issuing the review on Monday reiterated that China wants a stable world order to pursue its primary goal of economic development. It vowed never to attack or invade unless first attacked. A report published by China noted that last year's defense budget (1997) of 81.3 billion ($ 9.8 billion) amounted to less than 4 percent of what the U.S. spends. Foreign military analysts have for years disputed the published figure as ridiculously low given the PLA's sustained foreign buying spree and missile-development program. Taiwan's defense ministry noted in March that China was spending at least three times the acknowledged amount on defense.

Sep 21, 1998 An entire class of Chinese officers from the Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force (PLAAF) Air War College observed a series of U.S. Air Force air warfare exercises in Alaska, called "Cooperative Cape Thunder," reports Aviation Week. The exercises exposed U.S. air war vulnerabilities to enemy radar planes and computer warfare attacks. The U.S. planes suffered "huge casualties,"and in some instances were completely blind in simulated combat to aggressor forces using Electronic Support Measures (ESM).

Oct 12, 1998 The Far Eastern Economic Review reports that a report to be released by the U.S. House Committee investigating illegal donations to the Democratic Party during the 1995-1996 election campaign identifies Ted Sioeng, a key figure in the scandal, as a Chinese agent in a bid to influence the American elections. Sioeng, who donated $400,000 through his family and business partners to the Democratic National Committee, held several private meetings with Chinese President Jiang Zemin between 1993 and 1995.
In addition, Timmerman found that U.S. specialty steel parts and aerospace alloys sold to CATIC have been sent directly to a military aircraft plant in Xian, China. In addition, sensitive U.S. Global Positioning Satellite [GPS] navigation systems purchased in California are shipped by CATIC to their aerospace plant in Beijing. American defense intelligence analysts have concluded that the Chinese are successfully integrating U.S. GPS systems into cruise missiles, ballistic missiles and a new generation of military jets - some of which are sent to Iran. Yet, the Clinton Administration has lifted all licensing requirements for the sale of GPS systems to China.

Oct 31, 1998 Expatriate Chinese missile scientist Huan Di, living in the United States and teaching at Stanford University since 1989, has been imprisoned in China for ten months on charges of espionage, the Associated Press reports. U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright called for his release, requesting the U.S. Embassy in Beijing to be "very involved" in the case. State Department spokesman James Foley stated, "We do not know the exact basis of the Chinese Government's charges against him, and we are seeking further information." Stanford officials said the Hua, 62, has been unable to get treatment for cancer since he was arrested on January 5 for allegedly "leaking state secrets." He had returned to China for the first time since 1989 because he was assured by authorities that he could do so safely. [China lied, and said he could return safely, then he returned to China, and they arrested him.]

5-6-99 The Justice Department is setting up a special task force to investigate the FBI's probe of a Los Alamos computer scientist suspected of passing nuclear weapons secrets to China. A senior Justice Department official told The Washington Times that Attorney General Janet Reno and Deputy Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. will soon appoint a panel headed by a federal prosecutor and supported by FBI agents. An announcement could come as early as the end of this week, the official said. "This will be a top-to-bottom review," the official said. "As bad as this reflects on the department and the bureau, the task force is just trying to get the facts of 'who shot John.' " The creation of the task force is another sign the Clinton administration did not act promptly in the Chinese spying affair. Energy Secretary Bill Richardson said last week that his agency also mishandled the compromise of nuclear warhead secrets. Senate Judicary Comm'tee Chairman Mr. Orrin Hatch said at the time the department turned down the FBI request, Mr. Lee was under investigation because of a phone call he made to another Taiwanese-born scientist, Peter Lee, who was fired from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California after an investigation of China's theft of neutron bomb secrets. Failures in the spy case include: - Mr. Lee had continued access to classified information at Los Alamos after he came under suspicion of spying from October 1997 until late 1998. - A later polygraph test of Mr. Lee, administered by the FBI, showed that the scientist gave misleading and deceptive answers to questions about passing information to China. Neither polygraph test was coordinated with espionage prosecutors in government. - The Justice Department Office of Intelligence Policy and Review rejected an FBI request to wiretap Mr. Lee's telephone. The request was turned down by a political appointee, Frances Fragos Townsend, who is the department's counsel for intelligence policy. The task force will try to find out why the request was denied. The secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court has never turned down a request for electronic surveillance in a spy case. - In separate hearings before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, Los Alamos Director John Browne testified that as early as 1996, he wanted to examine Mr. Lee's computers but was warned off by Justice Department lawyers who feared the search would taint information for use in court. http://www.washtimes.com/news/news1.html 5-7-99 It now turns out that in November 1998, a secret report distributed to senior Clinton administration officials --including National Security Adviser Sandy Berger, Attorney General Janet Reno and Department of Energy (DOE) Secretary Bill Richardson -- informed them that between October 1997 and June 1998 there were more than 300 foreign attacks on DOE's unclassified computer systems. Noting that "China represents an acute intelligence threat to DOE," the secret report stated that instances in which foreign countries successfully penetrated DOE's unclassified computer system resulted in "complete access and total control to create, view, modify or execute any and all information stored on the system," the New York Times reported last Sunday. It was not until April 1999, nearly a half year after the secret report was issued in November, that Mr. Richardson shut down the DOE's classified computer system in order to improve its security. Unfortunately, this is only the latest in a string of intelligence disasters. The administration first learned in early 1995 that China may have stolen the United States' most sensitive nuclear secrets. U.S. nuclear-weapons experts at DOE detected that China was testing a smaller, more powerful nuclear warhead that was very similar to the W-88, the state-of-the-art warhead now deployed on U.S. submarine-launched ballistic missiles. In late 1995, DOE investigators informed the FBI. By February 1996, DOE counterintelligence officers and the FBI identified Mr. Lee, a computer scientist in DOE's Los Alamos nuclear-weapons laboratory, as a primary suspect who "stuck out like a sore thumb." DOE briefed the CIA in early 1996. Stunned by the revelations flowing from DOE briefers' charts and drawings, Paul Redmond, the CIA's chief spy hunter, concluded that China's nuclear espionage would prove to be "just as bad as the Rosenbergs" and "far more damaging to the national security than Aldrich Ames" -- an assessment the White House strenuously rejected. Miss Reno's Justice Department did its part. From October 1996, when the campaign-finance scandal erupted, to the present, Miss Reno has repeatedly refused to seek the appointment of an independent counsel to investigate the Chinese-Democratic Party money connection. Meanwhile, other senior Justice officials repeatedly refused in 1997 to seek a court-approved wiretap that would have allowed the FBI to examine Mr. Lee's office computer. DOE did its part as well. Without the wiretap, the FBI was unable to pursue aggressively its investigation of Mr. Lee. In April 1997, with its investigation stalled, the FBI advised DOE to remove Mr. Lee from his sensitive position. Instead, DOE inexplicably placed Mr. Lee in charge of updating the computerized archive of nuclear secrets. As the New York Times recently reported, Mr. Lee had previously downloaded more than a thousand computer files from Los Alamos' classified computer system into its unclassified computer system. Most of this downloading, which includes virtually all the nuclear secrets of the U.S. arsenal, occurred in 1994 and 1995. Had Miss Reno's Justice Department obtained the court-approved wiretap in early 1997, the FBI would have learned about Mr. Lee's unauthorized downloading two years earlier. Meanwhile, DOE refused for several years to reinstate the FBI-recommended background checks for visitors to its weapons labs, and the counterintelligence officer who uncovered the espionage has testified before Congress that an acting DOE secretary prevented him from briefing Congress about the Chinese spying.
