During my visit to Paris, a representative of the China Precision Machinery Import and Export Corporation (CPMEIC), the Chinese Army-owned company and the manufacturer of the C-802, an anti-ship missile, showed up at Soghanalian’s luxurious apartment at Rond-point. Soghanalian introduced me to M. Ping, the CPMEIC representative, who was, in fact, a Chinese intelligence official. Soghanalian told Ping that I was a Canadian who was repairing his assistant, Veronique Paquier’s, computer. As Veronique and I pretended to repair an antiquated electric typewriter, Ping ignored his host’s awkward lie and, instead, talked business with Soghanalian. I grabbed a nearby, small video camera and turned it on, hoping to capture Ping’s pitch to the arms dealer.
