4 (b),(d) and (h).


1. (C) PolOff on October 22 informed MFA Arms Control and
Disarmament Department officials that the USG has determined
that China Xinshidai Company, China Shipbuilding and Offshore
International Corporation LTD and Huazhong CNC have engaged
in activities that warrant the imposition of measures
pursuant to Section 3 of the INKSNA (reftel). ( Note:
Continued MFA Arms Control and Disarmament Department
"unavailability" to meet with PolOffs since the October 3
announcement of U.S. arms sales to Taiwan prevented delivery
of reftel non-paper describing the measures in more detail.)


2. (C) MFA Arms Control and Disarmament Department Missile
Division Deputy Director Wang Daxue subsequently contacted
PolOff and said informally that "these types of unilateral
sanctions" will only "step by step destroy nonproliferation
cooperation between China and the United States. We ask you
not to continue with these measures."
