DURING RECENT APPRAISAL TESTING, THE ENGINE EXTINGUISHED A BLAZING FIRE IN AN 80 SQUARE M OIL POOL IN UNDER 10 SECONDS. THE NEW SYSTEM WILL BRING ABOUT A SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT IN CHINA'S FIRE-FIGHTING CAPABILITIES. CG. SHENYANG MR TRAINING SIMULATION EQUIPMENT RI TRANSFERS MILITARY LASER TECHNOLOGY TO ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY (LAD, 26 OCT). THE RI APPLIED ITS LASER SIMULATION TECHNOLOGY TO BUILD A HIGH TECH AMUSEMENT PARK CALLED "LASER GUNFIGHTER CITY" IN YINGKOU IN LIAONING PROVINCE. THE PARK WAS SO SUCCESSFUL THAT THE RI NOW HAS CONTRACTS TO BUILD SIMILAR PARKS IN SHENYANG, DALIAN, LUOYANG, AND CHENGDU, WHICH WILL EARN IT A PROFIT OF OVER 1.6 MILLION YUAN. D.

COMMENTS: 1. (SOURCE COMMENTS) GLD'S XINXING CORP HAS FOLLOWED COSTIND IN EXPLOITING HONG KONG'S INTERNATIONAL CONNECTIONS. THE 1-15 OCT 92 DSTI REPORT INDICATED THAT COSTIND WAS EXPANDING ITS CONCEPT OF "WINDOW ENTERPRISES”, WHICH IT HAD BEEN SETTING UP IN THE SHENZHEN SEZ FOR THE PAST 10 YEARS, INTO HONG KONG. "WINDOW ENTERPRISES" GENERALLY ARE SINO-FOREIGN JV FACTORIES, WHICH PRODUCE HIGH TECH CIVILIAN GOODS FOR MARKETING OVERSEAS. COSTIND MAINTAINS IT HAS HAD CONSIDERABLE SUCCESS INDUCING FOREIGN COMPANIES TO INVEST FUNDS AND THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY IN SUCII OPERATIONS AND NOW HOPES TO FURTHER EXPAND ITS NETWORK INTO HONG KONG, ALTHOUGH THE TERRITORY DOES NOT REVERT TO CHINA UNTIL 1997. NOW, GLD'S MARKETING ARM, XINXING, HAS SIGNED AN AGREEMENT WITH HONG KONG'S MOST SUCCESSFUL ENTREPRENEUR, ((LI)) KASHING, UNDER WHICH HIS FLAGSHIP, CHEUNG KONG HOLDINGS, WILL ATTEMPT TO EXPLOIT THE TECHNOLOGY AND PRODUCTION OF GLD FACTORIES (PARA 3A). CHINA'S DEFENSE INDUSTRIES ARE ANXIOUS TO CONVERT AS MUCH OF THEIR MILITARY PRODUCTION CAPACITY AS POSSIBLE TO CIVILIAN GOODS BEFORE THE END OF THE CENTURY TO MEET NATIONAL ECONOMIC GOALS. THEY ARE ALSO NOT AVERSE TO OBTAINING COLLATERAL FOREIGN TECIINOLOGY PROVIDED BY OVERSEAS FIRMS INVOLVED IN SINO-FOREIGN JVS, WHICH MAY ALSO BE USED TO ENHANCE PLA MILITARY EQUIPMENT DEVELOPMENT.
