ARTICLE SNIPPET: "U. S. intelligence agencies believe China performed a successful anti-satellite (asat) weapons test at more than 500 mi. altitude Jan. 11 destroying an aging Chinese weather satellite target with a kinetic kill vehicle launched on board a ballistic missile.
The Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Agency, the Defense Intelligence Agency, NASA and other government organizations have a full court press underway to obtain data on the alleged test, Aviation Week & Space Technology will report in its Jan. 22 issue.
If the test is verified it will signify a major new Chinese military capability.
Neither the Office of the U. S. Secretary of Defense nor Air Force Space Command would comment on the attack, which followed by several months the alleged illumination of a U. S. military spacecraft by a Chinese ground based laser."

"Chinese Army Automobiles Coming Soon"
Charles R. Smith
Wednesday, Jan. 17, 2007
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "The Chinese army is coming to an automotive dealer near you.
Chinese SUV maker Chang Feng appeared at the 2007 Detroit Auto Show with its latest entry in the sport four-wheel-drive market — the Liebao.
The Chinese automaker expects to enter the U.S. market before the end of the decade with its line of four-wheel-drive sport vehicles and trucks.
Cheng Feng Liebao is China's No. 1 SUV producer with a third of the Chinese market, and total group production of about 100,000 vehicles last year. Chang Feng exports reach around the world with sales in Europe, the Middle East, South America and Africa.
However, underneath the Swiss-cheese-like symbol of Chang Feng lies the real roots behind the Liebao.
Chang Feng publicly states that it is a "state-owned" company, run and controlled by the Chinese Communist Party. What Chang Feng does not like to publish is that it is a Chinese army-owned company, formerly known as the No. 7319 Factory of the "Chinese People's Liberation Army Chang Feng (Group) Co.,Ltd."
Despite its civilian sales, PLA Chang Feng still sells vehicles and parts to the military. In fact, the company recently donated a fully equipped Liebao SUV to the PLA war museum, decked out in green paint and sporting a large cannon mounted on the back."
