William Cohen, the US Secretary of Defense, recently unleashed an unprecedented public blast at Israel for selling advanced military technology to China that could threaten American forces in the event of a clash with China over Taiwan.
Cohen demanded Israel cancel the US $1-2 billion sale of 3-5 AWACS airborne radar aircraft to China. Israel refused...
Former CIA Director James Woolsey testified Israel has covertly sold several billions of dollars worth of top-secret US technology to China since 1983. The Inspector General of the US State Department found, in a 1992 report, a systematic and growing pattern of Israel selling American military technology in direct violation of US law. That report concluded Israel was supplying arms based on restricted American technology to China, Chile, Ethiopia, and South Africa, all of whom then under US arms embargo. The Pentagon has claimed since the mid-1980s that Israel simply copies or reverse engineers secret US defense technology and then exports it even on occasion, it is whispered, to Russia. Until now, Israels influential friends on Capital Hill managed to downplay or cover up these serious charges. From article titled "Strange Bedfellows: China and Israel" by Eric S. Margolis
