hen one compares China's actions in East Turkestan with those of
atheist Zionists in Palestine, one encounters a number of similarities, even
though the former has a communist form of government and the latter a
capitalist one. Both are occupying lands that belong to Muslims, and the
Muslim populations are forced to live under military, political and eco-
nomic occupation. Torture, groundless detentions, massacre and slaugh-
ter are some of the commonest words in both regions. This similarity
between China and Israel has formed the basis of cooperation between
them. China obtains some weapons for its People's Liberation Army from
Israel. It is of course natural for there to be military cooperation and joint
work on technical matters between two countries. But the important
thing here is that these weapons are being used unjustly, illegally and
ruthlessly against innocent Muslims.
The military relationship between China and Israel began in the first
half of the 1970s. Israel first helped the Chinese army update its old Soviet
weapons. After the mid-1980s, official contact was established between
the Chinese and Israeli ambassadors at the United Nations. This relation-
ship was furthered under such pretexts as "agricultural cooperation," but
what really kept it on its feet were the arms China secured from Israel.
The considerable quantities of arms sales by Israel to China were
carried out by Israeli businessman Shaul Eisenberg, who worked for
Mossad. After everything had been placed on a firm footing, secret agree-
ments and delivery were the responsibility of Mossad. 1
During a visit by Yitzhak Rabin to Beijing in 1993, cooperation
agreements were signed between Israel and China on nuclear testing and
technology. The scale of the military cooperation between the two coun-
tries, which continued to develop further in the ensuing years, was dis-
cussed by the Israeli newspaper Jerusalem Post in its September 10, 1998,
issue:
Israel's got the defense technology. China wants it. The Chinese
seem to value the Jewish mind highly. But what they clearly want is
"technology," and the high-tech weapons systems Jewish minds in Israel
have developed during 50 years of conflict and several wars… Israel's de-
fense ties with China go back to the late 1970s, way before diplomatic re-
