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, WHICH PRODUCE HIGH TECIi CIVILIAN GOODS FOR
MARKETING OVERSEAS. COSTIND MAINTAINS IT HAS HAD
CONSIDERABLE SUCCESS INDUCING FOREIGN COMPANIES TO
INVEST FUNDS AND TIIE LATEST TECHNOLOGY IN SUCII
OPERATIONS AND NOW HOPES TO FURTHER EXPAND ITS NETWORK
INTO HONG KONG, ALTHOUGH TIIE TERRITORY DOES NOT REVERT
TO CHINA UNTIL 1997. NOW, GLD'S MARKETING ARM,
XINXING, HAS SIGNED AN AGREEMENT WITIi HONG KONG'S MOST
SUCCESSFUL ENTREPRENEUR, ((LI)) KASHING, UNDER WHICH
HIS FLAGSHIP, CIIEUNG 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 CAPACIZ'~'
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 TECINOLOGY
PROVIDED BY OVERSEAS FIRMS INVOLVED IN SINO-FOREIGN
JVS, WHICH MAY ALSO BE USED TO ENHANCE PLA MILITARY
EQUIPMENT DEVELOPMENT.

2. CHINA SHIP NEWS PROFILED FIVE KEY NAVAL ENGINEERING
CENTERS RESPONSIBLE FOR RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN CIiINESE
WARSHIPS IN ITS 30 OCT EDITION. MOST OF THE CENTERS
ARE IN THE GREATER SHANGHAI AREA, AS IT IS AT THE
SHANGHAI SHIPYARDS THAT 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 (PARR 6G). THE
SHIPBUILDING RI UNDER TIIE 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
6J). TIIE WUHAN SHIPPING DESIGN RI SEEMS TO BE A KEY
PLAYER IN EFFORTS TO UPGRADE SOME OF THE NAVY'S
EXTSTING 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 6I). FINALLY, THE
JIANGSU ELECTRONICS FACTORY HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN
DEVELOPING SONAR EQUIPMENT FOR TIIE 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,
WHICII 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 CIEMICAL 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 CHIN'A'S ANTI-CHEMICAL
WARFARE UNITS.
4. MOFERT IS PLANNING AN EARLY JAN 93 EXHIBITION TO
POPULARIZE CHINA'S LATEST HIGH TECH DEVELOPMENTS IN TIIE
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 WTLL 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 DOMESTTC 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
