Chinese deploy 'threatening' new missile
Beijing 'fooled Clinton & Gore,' says expert

In an apparent disinformation
campaign, China fooled the Clinton
administration into believing one of
its nuclear missiles was a "failure,"
when actually, in the words of one
congressional defense analyst, "it is
the most threatening missile
deployed since the Cold War."
In 1992, Hua Di, a former Chinese
missile scientist who defected to the
U.S, told the U.S. government the
new "DONG FENG" (East Wind)
DF-25 -- a mobile two-stage missile
capable of hurling a conventional
4,000-pound warhead over 1,000
miles -- was too expensive to be
deployed.
Yet in August 1999, Clinton officials
were shocked by Chinese Communist
press announcements declaring the
DF-25 to be fully operational and
tipped with multiple nuclear
warheads, states William Triplett,
co-author of "Red Dragon Rising."
Triplett's newly published book is
rocking Capitol Hill and has put the
White House on the defensive, trying
to explain its acceptance of the
Chinese defector and his
disinformation.
Communist "defector" Hua Di
studied missiles in Russia and
worked in China's missile program
for 24 years. In 1989, Hua left China
after the Tiananmen Square
crackdown on student democracy
demonstrators, and went to work as a
researcher at Stanford University's
Center for International Security and
Arms Control with Dr. John Lewis
and Dr. William Perry.
In 1992, Hua and Lewis published
"China's Ballistic Missile Program," in
which Hua claimed a newly
developed missile, the DF-25, was not
a success.
"The Chinese fooled Clinton into
believing it would not be deployed,"
said Triplett in an exclusive
WorldNetDaily interview. "The
DF-25 is called the 'Japan' missile. It
can cover all of the Japanese islands,
the Spratleys and the sea entry
routes."
According to Triplett, the DF-25
"improved" version can drop its
two-ton warhead within feet of its
intended target.
Defense sources inside and outside of
Capitol Hill confirmed Triplett's
stunning news. One source went
further, and directly accused a major
U.S. defense contractor of
deliberately passing to China
sensitive missile technology that is
now incorporated in the DF-25.
"This missile is purely offensive,"
stated Robert Fisher, a defense
analyst for Rep. Chris Cox, R-Ca. "It is
the most threatening missile
deployed since the Cold War. It is
intended to start a war."
According to Fisher, U.S. guidance
technology acquired by China is so
accurate that the DF-25 can select a
"window" on any target building and
strike it from over 1,000 miles away.
"The DF-25 most likely uses both U.S.
GPS (satellite navigation) and radar
technology for its accuracy. However,
it is powered by American military
rocket motor technology given to the
Chinese Army by Lockheed Martin,"
stated Fisher.
"Chinese missiles are now more
accurate, thanks to the transfer of
Lockheed Martin solid fuel
technology," added Fisher.
Fisher also noted that missile
documents written by Chinese
defector Hua Di were "gospel" to
Clinton administration officials.
"They frequently quote Hua's work,"
he stated firmly.
Fisher is not the first to accuse
Lockheed of passing advanced
technology to China during the
Clinton administration. According to
Henry Sokolski, executive director of
the Nonproliferation Policy
Education Center, in 1995 Lockheed
Martin "completed coupled load
analysis on kick motors" for the
Chinese AsiaSat satellite space
program.
In 1998, Sokolski wrote an analysis of
U.S. missile technology sold to China,
in which he said the Lockheed "kick
motor's development could help
China perfect a post boost vehicle
(PBV) to deliver warheads against
nations armed with missile defenses."
Sokolski also accused Lockheed of
transferring sensitive U.S. technology
to China for Motorola's bankrupt
Iridium satellite system. According to
Sokolski, Lockheed "validated
Chinese upper stage separation
technology, vibrational and load
coupling analysis, attitude control,
and payload mounting."
Furthermore, the so-called Chinese
defector who first drew attention to
the DF-25 has also been involved in a
previous transfer of advanced U.S.
military technology to China. Clinton
Defense Sec. Dr. William Perry
worked closely with Hua, bringing
the defector inside the highest levels
of the Defense Dept.
However, according to Defense Dept.
documents, Hua, Perry and Lewis
shared much more than missile
stories. In 1992, Chinese Commission
of Science, Technology and Industry
for National Defense (COSTIND) Lt.
Gen. Huai Guomo contacted Hua
inside America. Gen. Huai wanted to
start a joint U.S.-China business
venture called Galaxy New
Technology.
According to Defense documents, in
1994, PLA Gen. "Madam" Nie Li, wife
of COSTIND commander General
Ding Henggao, served on the board
of Galaxy New Technology along
with Lewis. At the same time,
according to Commerce Dept.
documents, Lewis also met with Gen.
Huai Guomo and Gen. Ding
Henggao, serving as a civilian
"consultant" to Perry, during a trip to
Beijing.
Thus, Lewis appears to have been
employed by both the U.S. military
and the Chinese military at the same
meeting.
Hua described himself as the
"matchmaker" between COSTIND's
Gen. Huai Guomo and Dr. Lewis
during an interview for the Far
Eastern Economic Review. Hua's
close association with the Chinese
Army unit COSTIND also drew the
attention of the General Accounting
Office (GAO).
In 1996, the GAO wrote a report on
the sale of an advanced fiber-optic
communications system to Galaxy
New Technology. The GAO
confirmed the fiber-optic system was
actually sold directly to the Chinese
Army. According to the Far Eastern
Economic Review, Perry, the U.S.
defense secretary, wrote a personal
letter on behalf of Lewis, favoring the
sale to China.
In late October 1998, the New York
Times announced that Hua had
returned to China. According to the
Times, Hua had met with Chinese
security officials in late 1997 and was
assured that he would not be
prosecuted. On Dec. 31, 1997, Hua
returned to China, and on Jan. 6,
1998, was arrested and charged with
passing state secrets to U.S. officials.
Stanford officials and Lewis have
written to the Chinese government
appealing for Hua's release.
Yet, the advisor to the leading
Republican candidate questions
whether Hua was indeed a defector.
Condoleezza Rice, foreign policy
consultant to presidential candidate
George W. Bush, investigated
allegations that Stanford University
resources were used illegally by Hua
Di and Dr. John Lewis. Rice noted
there was evidence that Hua was an
approved agent of the Chinese
government.
Lewis "had provided evidence to the
fact that the source materials for
publications written by him and Mr.
Hua were provided by approved
Chinese authorities," said Rice.
"If the PLA fooled Clinton and Gore
on this one," said Triplett, "just how
good are the rest of our missile
estimates?"
