New documents added to WikiLeak’s leaked United States embassy cables revealed that China has been selling missiles and parts to Iran,Syria and Pakistan in violation of its agreement with the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR).

MTCR

MTCR was formed in 1987 as an informal voluntary partnership of 34 countries to prevent the export of long range weapons of mass destruction to hostile nations. China is not a member but has assured the members it will support the group’s policy of Missile Nonproliferation. China has not been allowed to join the MTCR because of its non-existent export controls. China has not signed nor agreed to the UN’s “Hague Code of Conduct against Ballistic Missile Proliferation.” China always says the right things but has a difficult time honoring its own words.

Cable

A September 2009 State Department cable titled “China’s Ballistic Missile-Related Export Control Record” outlines Chinese missile export transfers to Syria and Iran. As excerpted from the cable:

“Chinese firms continue to sell equipment to Pakistan’s ballistic missile entities.”

The Obama Administration’s mild response to these firms was:“sanctions,all new individual U.S. export licenses for MTCR Annex items to the sanctioned entities and all new U.S. government contracts relating to MTCR Annex items with the sanctioned entities will be denied for a two year period. An additional sanction in this case bans all imports into the U.S. of products produced by the sanctioned entity for two years.”

When you launch a Chinese missile, you’ll just want to launch another one an hour later.

So, they're in "violation" of an informal, voluntary organization to which they do not belong? This is beyond silly. Even if it were binding, who's surprised a communist dictatorship would lie and not be held accountable?
