OPERATIONS.
A. HONG KONG JOURNALS CLAIM CHINESE SEEK HIGH TECH
WEAPONRY IN CONJUNCTION WITH VISIT OF RUSSIAN VICE
PREMIER TO BEIJING (FAR EAST ECONOMIC REVIEW, 12 NOV;
SCMP, 12 AND 23 NOV). ALEXANDER ((SHOKIIIN)), RUSSIAN
VICE PREMIER IN CHARGE OF EXTERNAL ECONOMIC RELATIONS,
VISITED BEIJING IN NOV. HE WAS REPORTED TO HAVE MET
WITH KEY MILITARY LEADERS AND CMC VICE CHAIRMAN,
((LIU)) HUAQING, TO DISCUSS CHINA'S DESIRES TO ACQUIRE
ADVANCED RUSSIAN MILITARY TECHNOLOGY. SHOKHIN ALSO MET
WITH THE HEAD OF THE COMMISSION ON SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY,
AND INDUSTRY FOR NATIONAL DEFENSE (COSTIND), ((DING))
HENGGAO, AND GSD VICE CHIEF, ((CAO)) GANGCHUN. THE
REVIEW HAS REPORTED THAT THERE WERE TWO SECRET RUSSIAN
MILITARY INTELLIGENCE VISITS TO CHINA BEFORE THE
SHOKHIN VISIT; AND THAT THE RUSSIANS HAVE ALREADY SOLD
THE CHINESE MISSILE GUIDANCE AND ROCKET TECHNOLOGY AND
ROCKET ENGINES AND SURFACE-TO-AIR MISSILES, INCLUDING
THE S300 AIR-DEFENSE MISSILE SYSTEM. SCMP SPECULATES
THAT THE RUSSIANS HAVE AGREED TO SELL ADDITIONAL SU-27
(BEYOND THE 26 ALREADY ON ORDER) AND MIG-29 FIGHTERS TO
CHINA, AS WELL AS NAVAL SURFACE COMBATANTS, DIESEL
SUBMARINES, AND VARIOUS LAND WEAPONS. THE SALES COULD
BE WORTH MORE THAN USD 3 BILLION AND HELP OFFSET
OUTSTANDING CHINESE CREDITS TO RUSSIA OVER THE PAST
YEAR.

CHINA'S DEFENSE S AND T DEVELOPMENTS (NEW CHINA NEWS
AGENCY, 17 NOV). THE BOOK, ENTITLED "NATIONAL DEFENSE
S AND T IN CONTEMPORARY CHINA", WAS LAUNCHED BY CMC
VICE CHAIRMAN LIU HUAQING AND OTHER MILITARY LEADERS
DURING CEREMONIES AT THE GREAT HALL OF THE PEOPLE ON 17
NOV. THE BOOK CONTAINS OVER 800,000 CHARACTERS AND
DESCRIBES THE TORTUOUS PATH OF DEVELOPMENT OF CHINA'S
NUCLEAR WEAPONS, STRATEGIC MISSILES, MISSILE-EQUIPPED
NUCLEAR SUBMARINES, MAN-MADE SATELLITES, AND
CONVENTIONAL WEAPONS. THE BOOK INCLUDES DETAILS OF
FACTUAL MISTAKES AND FRUSTRATIONS ENCOUNTERED IN THE
DEVELOPMENT PROCESS.
C. CHINA HOSTS "1992 FOURTH NATIONAL COMPUTER
SOFTWARE TRADE FAIR" IN BEIJING (PD, 23 NOV). OVER
100 ORGANIZATIONS DISPLAYED ABOUT 2,000 ITEMS OF
SOFTWARE DURING THE FAIR, HELD FROM 18 TO 23 NOV. OVER
300,000 PEOPLE WERE INVOLVED IN DEVELOPMENT OF THE
SOFTWARE SHOWN AT THE FAIR, SOME OF WHICH WON
INTERNATIONAL AND NATIONAL AWARDS. ANNUAL SALES OF
SOFTWARE IN 1991 REACHED 120 MILLION YUAN, PLUS USD 10
MILLION IN EXPORTS AND USD 40 MILLION IN IMPORTS.
COMMENTS: 1. (SOURCE COMMENTS) THE STATE EDUCATION
COMMISSION HAS LAUNCHED A 10 YEAR "PROJECT 211" PROGRAM
WHICH IT CLAIMS IS DESIGNED TO GIVE CHINA'S TOP 100
UNIVERSITIES "INTERNATIONAL STANDING" (PARA 3A). THE
STATE IS APPARENTLY WILLING TO INVEST A CONSIDERABLE
AMOUNT OF ITS SCARCE EDUCATION FUNDS IN THE PROJECT,
WHICH SEEMS TO HAVE SOMEWHAT EPHEMERAL GOALS. IT IS
LIKELY THAT CHINA'S ELDERLY XENOPHOBIC LEADERS ARE
HUMILIATED BY THE FACT THAT THE COUNTRY MUST SEND
THOUSANDS OF ITS BRIGHTEST YOUNG PEOPLE TO JAPAN AND
THE WEST TO BE EDUCATED IN ADVANCED S AND T; AND TH
AT
MANY OF THESE STUDENTS REFUSE TO RETURN TO THE
MOTHERLAND AFTER THEY HAVE EXPERIENCED REAL FREEDOM OF
THOUGHT. "PROGRAM 211" IS PROBABLY INTENDED TO
ESTABLISH THE STATURE OF CHINA'S TOP UNIVERSITIES ON A
PAR WITH LEADING WORLD INSTITUTIONS SO THAT CHINA'S
YOUTH CAN STAY HOME AND GET A USEFUL EDUCATION. THIS
WILL REQUIRE LARGE NUMBERS OF FOREIGN PROFESSORS TO PAY
EXCHANGE TEACHING VISITS TO CHINESE UNIVERSITIES TO
RAISE THE SCHOOLS' UNIVERSAL QUALIFICATIONS. THIS
WILL ALSO BE ANOTHER WAY THAT CHINA CAN OBTAIN ACCESS
TO ADVANCED WESTERN S AND T.

IF CHINA'S VAUNTED ECONOMIC REFORM PROGRAM IS TO MOVE
AHEAD EXPEDITIOUSLY (PARA 3B). CHEN'S RECOMMENDATIONS
LEAVE NO DOUBT THAT CHINA HAS ENTERED A CRITICAL PERIOD
IN THE REFORM PROCESS, DURING WHICH THE SHIFT TO THE
MARKET ECONOMY MUST BE EMBRACED AND ANY RETRENCHMENT OR
STEPS BACKWARD COULD FATALLY DAMAGE THE REFORM MOVEMENT
ITSELF. HOWEVER, MANY LEADING CHINESE ECONOMISTS FEAR
THAT THE SPC, THE BULWARK OF THE OLD PLANNED AND
CENTRALLY REGULATED ECONOMY, IS FILLED WITH LEADERS WHO
ARE RELUCTANT TO GIVE UP THE OLD SYSTEM (PARA 3D).
THESE PEOPLE HAVE WORKED UNDER THE PLANNED ECONOMY SO
LONG THAT THEY DO NOT BELIEVE IN OR UNDERSTAND THE
BASIC PRECEPTS OF A MARKET ECONOMY. THEY ARE NOT
ASSUAGED BY ECONOMIC REFORMISTS WHO GIVE THE REFORMS
THE WARM-SOUNDING TITLE OF A "SOCIALIST MARKET
ECONOMY". THE REFORMERS CHARGE THESE HARDLINERS WITH
HAMSTRINGING THE ECONOMIC REFORMS CALLED FOR IN THE 8TH
FYP AND WARN THAT, IF THESE OBSTACLE-MAKERS ARE NOT
STOPPED, THE WHOLE REFORM PROCESS COULD FAIL.
3. IA'S OCT 92 EDITION HAS CONTINUED WITH ITS PROGRAM
OF HAILING THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE AERONAUTICS
INDUSTRY BY PROFILING SOME OF THE KEY "THINK TANKS" AND
RI'S RESPONSIBLE FOR IMPORTANT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE
INDUSTRY. THE NANJING AERONAUTICAL INSTITUTE IS A
GIGANTIC ORGANIZATION HOUSING A VAST NUMBER OF
COLLEGES, DEPTS, SUBORDINATE RI'S, CENTERS AND ORGANS
INVOLVED IN TRAINING CHINA'S NEW CROP OF SCIENTISTS
WHILE SIMULTANEOUSLY LEADING ITS AERONAUTICAL R AND D
EFFORTS (PARA 5A). THE INSTITUTE IS KNOWN TO BE
CARRYING OUT SOME OF CHINA'S MOST ADVANCED R AND D
PROJECTS, INCLUDING DEVELOPMENT OF STEALTH TECHNOLOGY.
IT ALSO HAS DESIGNED AND BUILT A WHOLE FAMILY OF
SUPERLIGHT AIRCRAFT AS DESCRIBED IN PARA 5B. THE XIAN
NORTHWESTERN POLYTECHNICAL UNIVERSITY IS ALSO HUGE, AND
COMMITTED TO BOTH TRAINING CHINA'S NEW CROP OF
AERONAUTICAL ENGINEERS AND CARRYING OUT KEY R AND D
PROJECTS IN THE FIELDS OF AUTOMATION AND CAD/CAM
TECHNOLOGY (PARA 5C). THE BEIJING UNIVERSITY OF
AERONAUTICS AND ASTRONAUTICS IS THE "MOTHER SCHOOL" FOR
TRAINING MASI SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS (PARA 5D). IT
ALSO UNDERTAKES KEY R AND D PROJECTS IN ADVANCED
COMPUTER SCIENCES. THE UNIVERSITY'S SUCCESSES APPEAR
ALMOST MONTHLY IN THE PACES OF CHINA'S S AND T
JOURNALS.
4. CSN HAS PROFILED THE CSSC SENIOR ENGINEER
RESPONSIBLE FOR DEVELOPING THE ELECTRONIC
COUNTERMEASURES (ECM) SYSTEMS FOUND ON PLA NAVY
WARSHIPS (PARA 6A). ((FENG)) GUOHUA IS ABOUT 50 YEARS
OLD AND HAS BEEN WORKING ON NAVAL ELECTRONIC WARFARE
SYSTEMS FOR ABOUT 12 YEARS. HE APPARENTLY WAS A RADAR

GRADUATING FROM UNIVERSITY. THE CHINESE ARE NOT
THOUGHT TO HAVE ADVANCED ECM SYSTEMS; BUT FENG SHOULD
HAVE A GOOD MANY MORE YEARS TO CARRY OUT R AND D AT
CSSC'S NUMBER 11 RESEARCH OFFICE IN ORDER TO COME UP
WITH MORE ADEQUATE EQUIPMENT.
