C.I.A. Says Their Cooperation
in Military Technology Is
on the I ncrease Lately
By MICHAEL R. GORDON

Special to the New York Times

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12 -Israel has
sold advanced military technology to
China for more than a decade and is
moving to expand its cooperation with
Beijing, says R. James Woolsey. the
Director of Central Intelligence.

The C.I.A. assessment was provided
in written responses to questions by the
Senate Governmental Affairs Committee.
The committee made the assessment
public last week as part of a
report on recent hearings it conducted
on "proliferation threats of the 1990'S,"
a committee aide said on Monday.

There have been many news reports
about the sale of Israeli military technology
to China, which did not establish
diplomatic relations with Israel until
1992, and the Rand Corporation has
made similar assessments. The
C.I.A.·s response to the committee was
reported on Monday by NBC News and
confirmed by the aide.

Jets, Missiles and Tanks

The C.I.A. says China has been acquiring
advanced military technology
from Israel for more than a decade on
programs for jet fighters, air-ta-air
missiles and tanks. The agency said the
sale of Israeli military technology to
China "may be several billion dollars."

Despite the previous reports, the
bluntness of the C.I.A. assessment surprised
Congressional specialists and
appears to reflect a growing concern
among American intelligence experts
that China is seeking to use Israel to
obtain the sort of advanced military
technology that the United States and
other Western nations have refused to
sell to Beijing.

China's acquisition of military tech

nology -and re-export to Pakistan,

Iran and other countries -is a major

challenge to Western efforts to stem

the spread of dangerous weapons.

Explaining its assessment, the agen

cy noted that Beijing and Tel Aviv

recently signed an agreement to co

operate in sharing technology in a

number of areas, including electronics

and space. Prime Minister Yitzhak Ra

bin of Israel was visiting China today to

discuss the broadening of ties.

IsraeUs Open Offices In China
In addition, an increasing number of
Israeli military companies have
opened offices in China to sell their
products.
The agency's assessment is likely to
provoke calls by members of congress
for greater scrutiny of the sale of
American military technology to Israel.
Ruth Yaron, a spokeswoman at the
Israeli Embassy, said today that Israel
had not transferred American military.
technology to China. "Israel adheres to
all of its commitments to the United
States with regard to its relationship
with China," she said.
An Israeli diplomat, who spoke on
condition of anonymity, noted that the
four-paragraph C.I.A. statement to the
committee did not say the Israelis had
been re-exporting American technology. (Less)
