India after inking the deal with Israel is entertaining a high-powered 18-member Chinese military delegation led by defence minister Gen Cao Gangchuan.
The Chinese are taking pictures like crazy so whether Israel deals with China or not, China may eventually end up with the technology it seeks. Probably a matter of time.
I do cringe, however, when I think of Israel or anyone dealing with China regarding anything military. -Am
China defence minister visits Mumbai dock
TIMES NEWS NETWORK[ MONDAY, MARCH 29, 2004 01:01:53 AM ]
MUMBAI: For the first time since the naval dockyard’s inception here in 1799, a high-powered 18-member Chinese military delegation led by defence minister Gen Cao Gangchuan visited it and studied some of the its latest ships and equipment.
The visit assumes significance because India had refused security clearance to China Harbour Engineering Company, which had bid for dredging of a channel in the Mumbai Port Trust in October 2000. This company was owned by the Chinese government and the defence ministry felt sensitive information would be leaked. It has now sued for damages.
But on Sunday, the Chinese delegation got a warm welcome. Chinese experts asked questions about the weapons systems, their firing range and the sensors on board these ships. They also merrily took photographs while one member of the delegation wielded a video camera off and on.
