1. (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 Iran's 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.)
