Classified By: Political Officer Mark Lambert. Reasons 1.4 (b/d).


1. (C) PolOff on January 19 informed MFA Arms Control and
Disarmament Department officer Sun Lei that the United States
will levy sanctions against Dalian Sunny Industries/LIMMT and
Bellamax for the transfer of controlled missile technology to
Iran. PolOff briefly described the sanctions as outlined in
reftel.


2. (C) Sun characterized the sanctions as "unilateral" and
said that the move went against nonproliferation norms. Sun
asked that the United States reconsider its decision. He
refused to meet face-to-face with PolOff but did agree to
receive the non-paper supplied in 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 continues to require us to use less than
ideal methods to deliver our demarches.)
