Former Nuclear Researcher Ciping HUANG: "China Transferred Nuclear Technology to Pakistan"

-- reported by NTDtv

February 22, 2017

North Korea has conducted two nuclear tests last year and also conducted a missile test on February 12 this year. This series of actions have sparked the condemnation of the international community. At present, the outside world already knows that the source of North Korea's nuclear raw materials are closely related to Pakistan. However, the insiders said that Pakistan's nuclear technology and nuclear materials, were supplied by the Chinese Communist regime.

The US Air Force Colonel Charles D. Lutes, wrote an article in 2005 about the "new players" in nuclear proliferation, which revealed that Pakistan had sold nuclear technology to North Korea, Iran and others through underground smuggling.

But where did Pakistan get its nuclear technology? Ciping Huang, former researcher at the Institute of Atomic Energy, said that was from China.

Ciping Huang, a former nuclear physics researcher at the Institute of Atomic Energy: "In the 1980s, I was working at the Institute of Atomic Energy in China. One of its jobs was to transfer nuclear technology to Pakistan and other countries. They sent their experts to China to learn, while China also sent experts including some from our institute to go to Pakistan to provide technical guidance and directives."

Besides the nuclear technology, there is also the issue of nuclear materials. The Washington Post of the United States published an article in 2009 which quoted Pakistan's "father of nuclear weapons," Qadeer Khan (A.Q. Khan) as saying: in 1982, China provided Pakistan 50 kg of weapons-grade enriched uranium, which was enough to make two nuclear bombs.

Ciping Huang said: "Because China's relations with India were not going well, China helped Pakistan to develop nuclear weapons in an effort to work against India. After observing these irresponsible practices, I began to question if this kind of advanced technology in the end will bring benefit to mankind, or bring disaster to mankind -- it became a really big question mark.

In 1992, China joined the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.

In 1998, Pakistan completed its first nuclear test and became the seventh nuclear country in the world, but its missile technology to deliver nuclear weapons was still immature.

In 2000, China promised "not to help any country in any form, to develop ballistic missiles."

But in September 2001, US sanctioned China Metallurgical Equipment Corporation (MECC), due to its sale of missile parts to Pakistan.

China supported Pakistan's nuclear weapons. Then Pakistan transferred technology and materials to North Korea through the black market. In addition to this chain, the Chinese enterprises have long been directly smuggling items and supplies needed for nuclear projects to North Korea. For example, Dandong Hongxiang Industrial Development Co in Liaoning was sanctioned by the US Department of Justice last year due to this reason.

But now North Korea has its nuclear weaponry and has become less and less controllable by the Chinese regime, which has become a headache to Beijing regarding the relationships between China, USA, and North Korea, as well as the security issues for Northeast China.
