China to showcase military might in air show


Given that China and Iran have signed a 100 billion dollar gas deal that eventually could take the total value to as much as 200 billion dollars and that China is known to trade weapons for oil or gas, these showcased weapons could already be in Iran’s hands.

Through bilateral agreements, rather than international mechanisms, and using arms sales and dual-use technology transfers - nuclear equipment, guidance systems for missiles - to cement ties, China has obtained oil exploration and exploitation rights in some of the most turbulent nations in the Middle East and North Africa - Iran, Sudan, Libya, Algeria and, until the recent war, Iraq.

China to showcase military might in air show

BEIJING (AFP) Oct 30, 2004

China will showcase a range of advanced military hardware, including missiles and satellites, at a major air show and exhibition in southern China next week, state media reported Saturday.

One of the highlights of the Fifth China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition in Zhuhai will be the first showing of a new "short-range ultra-low-altitude portable air defence missile", Xinhua news agency reported.

The missile, developed by China Aerospace Science and Industry Corp, is primarily for conducting field operation air defence and can be used against low-flying military helicopters, ground-attack aircraft, unmanned aircraft and cruise missiles, said Xinhua.

The Chinese government-owned aerospace company will also display a range of short-range air defence missiles and surface-to-air missiles, plus various small civilian communications satellites.

Among other first showings at the exhibition of some 100 weapons and aerospace products between November 1-7 will be a short-range surface-to-surface missile with a range of 150 kilometers (93 miles), Xinhua said.

The air show will feature stunt teams from Britain, France, Russia and China.
