"Israeli Phalcon for China Troubles Cohen Visit-April 7, 2000"
"Israel’s 1997 contract to sell an airborne warning system to China remains a bone of contention with the United States, especially given the recent tensions between China and Taiwan."
"Barak (Then Prime Minister Ehud Barak.) said that Israel was “aware of American sensitivity” on the issue but was “also aware of our commitments to contracts which we sign”, though he said Israel recognized the “need to coordinate and be in close touch with the United States on matters which may threaten US interests . . . traditionally our closest allies”."
"KJ-2000 AWACS-15 June, 2005
"In May 1997, Israel and Russia reached agreement on modifying one IL-76, as a Beriev A-50I, for $250 million, with the option of three more AWACS for a total cost of $1 billion. Russia secured about 20 percent of the deal. After some delay, in October 1999, Russia transferred an A-50 airframe to Israel for the installation of the Phalcon AEW radar system by IAI. By May 2000, Israel had nearly completed work on the aircraft."
"The Phalcon deal became an increasingly controversial issue between the United States and Israel. In 2000, the Clinton Administration voiced stronger objections to the sale and urged Israel to cancel the sale of the Phalcon, saying it is a system comparable to the U.S. AWACS and could collect intelligence and guide aircraft from 250 miles away. Finally, in July 2000 the Israeli government cancelled the deal with China."
I don't think Israel should be allowed to arm the Red Chinese.
