6J).
THE WUHAN SHIPPING DESIGN RI SEEMS TO BE A KEY
PLAYER IN EFFORTS TO UPGRADE SOME OF THE NAVY'S
EXISTING MEDIUM SIZE WARSHIPS
(PARA 6H)
.
THE SICHUAN
RI,
RESPONSIBLE FOR BUILDING LARGE TRANSMISSION AND
GEAR SYSTEMS,
HAS
APPARENTLY CONTRIBUTED TO DESIGN OF
PROPULSION SYSTEMS FOR THE NAVY AND FOR ARMORED
VEHICLES FOR THE GROUND FORCES
(PARA
61).
FINALLY,
THE
JIANGSU ELECTRONICS FACTORY HAS BEEN INVOLVED
IN
DEVELOPING SONAR EQUIPMENT FOR THE NAVY (PARA
6K).
3.
AN AIR FORCE RI
IN BEIJING HAS APPARENTLY EXPLOITED
THE PROPELLING FORCE OF A JET ENGINE TO DEVELOP A VERY
SPECIAL FIRE TRUCK FOR EXTINGUISHING PETROLEUM FIRES,
WHICH DO NOT RESPOND TO NORMAL FIRE-FIGHTING EQUIPMENT
AND TECHNIQUES
(PARA LOB).
THE RI SAVED FUNDS BY
DEVELOPING THE SYSTEM USING AN OBSOLETE JET ENGINE
FROM A DECOMMISSIONED AIR FORCE FIGHTER.
THE SOVIET
ARMY DEVELOPED A CHEMICAL AGENT DECONTAMINATION SPRAY
TRUCK IN THE
1960S USING THE
SAME TYPE OF ENGINE.
THE
TECHNIQUE FOR THE FIRE-FIGHTING ENGINE
IS PROBABLY
SIMILAR TO THE ONES USED BY CHINA'S ANTI-CHEMICAL
WARFARE UNITS.
4.
MOFERT
IS PLANNING AN EARLY JAN 93 EXHIBITION TO
POPULARIZE CHINA'S LATEST HIGH TECH DEVELOPMENTS
IN THE
CIVILIAN PRODUCTS LINE
(PARA LLA)
.
THE SHOW HAS
OSTENSIBLY BEEN SET UP TO SHOW THE WORLD THAT CHINA
IS
NOT SUCH A BACKWARD THIRD WORLD COUNTRY AND
IS READY
FOR ENTRY INTO GATT.
THE FACT THAT THE SHOW WILL BE
IN
THE PLA MUSEUM SUGGESTS THAT MANY OF THE GOODS ON
DISPLAY WILL HAVE BEEN PRODUCED BY DEFENSE
INDUSTRIES.
THE EXHIBITION
IS CLEARLY FOR THE BENEFIT OF FOREIGN
LEADERS ;
HOWEVER,
A CONCURRENT SEMINAR ON THE
IMPACT OF
GATT ENTRY ON CHINA'S ENTERPRISES AND BUSINESSES
IS
PRIMARILY FOR DOMESTIC CONSUMPTION.
LARGE SEGMENTS OF
CHINA'S HUGE
STATE -OWNED INDUSTRIAL SECTOR HAVE
EXPRESSED GRAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THEIR VIABILITY
IF CHINA
COMPLIES WITH GATT FREE TRADE REQUIREMENTS.
MMBEI
IN
PARTICULAR, WHICH CONTROLS THE LARGEST SEGMENT OF
STATE-OWNED FACTORIES,
IS PUSHING FOR SPECIAL TARIFFS
AND QUOTAS TO PROTECT
ITS LOSS-MAKING FIRMS FROM
FOREIGN COMPETITION
(SEE
1-15 OCT
92 DSTI REPORT).
PRELIMINARY INDICATIONS FROM THE STATE COUNCIL ARE THAT
THESE INDUSTRIES SHOULD NOT ANTICIPATE SUCH PROTECTION
AND MUST MAKE EFFORTS TO BUILD PRODUCTS THAT ARE
COMPETITIVE ON INTERNATIONAL MARKETS.

A NORTH SEA FLEET UNIT HAS
IDENTIFIED WITH MUCD 37003
