TAGS: MTCRE, PARM, PREL, MNUC, ETTC, KSCA, IR, CH
SUBJECT: CHINA ALERTED TO POSSIBLE MISSILE-RELATED EXPORT TO IRAN 
REF: STATE 9939 
Classified By: Regional Unit Chief Mark Lambert. Reason 1.4 C. 

(S) PolOff passed reftel nonpaper providing information about
a December 2009 offer by Chinese company Hong Kong 4 Star
Electronics Ltd. to sell gyroscopes produced by a Russian
company to Irans Isfahan Optics Industries to MFA Arms Control
and Disarmament Department Nuclear Division Deputy Director
Zhang Shen on February 23. Zhang noted that proliferation
cases were handled within a different Division within the Arms
Control and Disarmament Department but agreed to pass the
nonpaper to relevant colleagues. (Note: Since the January 30
announcement of U.S. arms sales to Taiwan, officials from the
MFA Arms Control and Disarmament Department Chem/Bio Division,
who normally receive all demarches regarding proliferation
activities by companies within China, are currently placing
all demarche requests "under consideration," thereby requiring
post to find other means to deliver these demarches.)
