STATE SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY COMMISSION (SSTC) URGES IiIGH TECH ENTERPRISE DEVELOPMENT ZONES TO SEEK NEW TECHNOLOGIES (SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY DAILY - STD, 30 OCT) . THE ARTICLE RECALLS THAT THE 3l NEW IIIGH TECH ZONES WERE SET UP BY SSTC IN 1991 TO ENCOURAGE ENTERPRISES TO APPLY THE LATEST SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNOLOGICAL (S AND T) DEVELOPMENTS TO PRODUCTION OF CONSUMER GOODS. IT ALSO NOTES TIIAT MOST NEW TECHNOLOGIES BEING APPLIED WITHIN THE ZONES ARE THE FRUITS OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (R AND D) W012K IN STATE-RUN RESEARCH INSTITUTES (RI) AND CENTERS. MANY STATE-RUN RI'S HAVE OPENED UP THEIR OWN HIGH TECH ENTERPRISES IN THE ZONES. HOWEVER, ENTERPRISES WITHIN THE ZONES ARE RAPIDLY RUNNING OUT OF NEW TECHNOLOGIES TO APPLY, BECAUSE SCIENTISTS WORKING IN RI'S WOULD RATHER SELL THEIR S AND T RESULTS TO PRIVATE ENTERPRISES. THESE CONTRADICTING INTERESTS ARE THE RESULT OF CHINA`S AMBIGUOUS PROPERTY SYSTEM. THE ARTICLE RECOMMENDS THAT SSTC SET UP A SHAREIiOLDING SYSTEM, UNDER WHICH CHINA'S STATE-RUN RI'S SHARE IN THE OWNERSHIP OF NEW ENTERPRISES IN THE ZONES AND, AS A RESULT, ALSO OBTAIN A SHARE OF THE PROFITS OF TIiESE ENTERPRISES.

THE SESSION WILL INTRODUCE MORE THAN 50,000 NEW HIGH MILITARY TECHNOLOGY ACHIEVEMENTS FROM SEVERAL HUNDRED SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH ORGANIZATIONS AND INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER LEARNING THAT MUST BE TRANSFERRED TO CIVILIAN USE. 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 SING-FOREIGN JV FACTORIES, WIiICH 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 SUCH OPERATIONS AND NOW HOPES TO FURTHER EXPAND ITS NETWORK INTO HONG KONG, ALTIiOUGH 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)) KASIiING, UNDER WHICH HIS FLAGSHIP, CHEUNG KONG HOLDINGS, WILL ATTEMPT TO EXPLOIT THE TECHNOLOGY AND PRODUCTION OF GLD FACTORIES (PARR 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 TECHNOLOGY PROVTDED BY OVERSEAS FIRMS INVOLVED IN SING-FOREIGN JVS, WHICH MAY ALSO BE USED TO ENHANCE PLA MILITARY EQUTPMENT DEVELOPMENT. 2. CHINA SHIP NEWS PROFILED FIVE KEY NAVAL ENGINEERING CENTERS RESPONSIBLE FOR RECRNT DEVELOPMENTS IN CHINESE WARSHIPS IN ITS 30 OCT EDITION. MOST OF THE CENTERS ARE IN THE GREATER SHANGHAI AREA, AS TT IS AT THE SHANGHAI SHIPYARDS TIiAT MOST PLA NAVY WARSHIPS ARE BUILT. THE JIANGSU AUTOMATION RI HAS APPARENTLY DESIGNED THE UNMANNED ENGINE ROOMS AND COMPLEX COMMAND SYSTEMS FOR THE NAVY'S NEWEST FRIGATES (PARA 6G). THE SHIPBUILDING RI UNDER THE HUDONG SHIPYARD, WHERE THE NEW FRIGATES ARE BUILT, DESIGNED THE OVER-PRESSURE SYSTEMS ON THE FRIGATES, WHICH THE NAVY CLAIMS ARE "FULLY SEALED" AGAINST CHEMICAL OR NUCLEAR ATTACK (PARA Approved For Release 2000/08/10 :CIA-RDP96-007928000200580004-9 UNCLASSIFIED Approved For Release 2000/08/10 :CIA-RDP96-007928000200580004-9 6J). TIIE 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 VEIiICLES FOR THE GROUND FORCES (PARA 6I). 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 EXTINGUISIiING PETROLEUM FIRES, WHICH DO NOT RESPOND TO NORMAL FIRE-FIGHTING EQUIPMENT AND TECHNIQUES (PARA LOB). THE RT SAVED FUNDS BY DEVELOPING THE SYSTEM USING AN OBSOLETE JET ENGTNE FROM A DECOMMTSSIONED AIR FORCE FIGHTER. TIIE SOVIET ARMY DEVELOPED A CHEMICAL AGENT DECONTAMINATION SPRAY TRUCK IN THE 19605 USING THE SAME TYPE OF ENGINE. THE TECHNIQUE FOR THE FIRE-FIGHTING ENGINE IS PROBABLY SIMILAR TO THE ONES USED BY CHINA'S ANTI-CHEMTCAL 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 LEA) . THE SIIOW IIAS OSTENSIBLY BEEN SET UP TO SHOW THE WORLD THAT CHINA IS NOT SUCII A BACKWARD THIRD WORLD COUNTRY AND IS READY FOR ENTRY INTO GATT. THE FACT TIiAT THE SIiOW 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 COMPETES WITH GATT FREE TRADE REQUIREMENTS. MMBEI IN PARTICULAR, WHICH CONTROLS TIIE LARGEST SEGMENT OF STATE-OWNED FACTORIES, IS PUSHING FOR SPECIAL TARIFFS AND QUOTAS TO PROTECT ITS LO55-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 FRUDUCTS THAT ARI's COMPETITIVE ON INTERNATIONAL MARKETS. 5. (FIELD COMMENTS) A NORTH SEA FLEET UNIT HAS IDENTIFIED WITH MUCD 37003 (PARA 7F). 6. DIA MESSAGE 1600132 DEC 92 IN AN UNCLASSIFIED PARAGRAPH DISCUSSES CHINESE PLANS TO BUILD A 600-MW "POOR MAN'S" NUCLEAR REACTOR.
