China to sell Pakistan 6 nuclear reactors
What’s wrong with this picture. China, an enemy of the US is going to supply a supposed ally of the US and a dictatorship 6 nuclear reactors that is may well use to make nuclear weapons with.

Sunday, November 12, 2006 (Beijing):

"China and Pakistan are all set to finalise an agreement on nuclear energy cooperation during President Hu Jintao's upcoming visit to Islamabad.

Pakistan is seeking six nuclear reactors of 300 MW each to boost its power sector.

China has already helped Pakistan build a nuclear reactor of 350 MW at Chashma and it was currently building one more at the same place with the same capacity."

"News reports indicate that this was the missile used on July 14, 2006 in the 2006 Israel-Lebanon crisis when Hezbollah fired two at Israeli warships.<5><6> One of the missiles hit the INS Hanit, causing heavy damage and the deaths of four Israeli servicemen.<7> The other missile hit an Egyptian merchant ship causing heavy damage; it is reported that all the crew survived. <8> However, according to Chinese, the missile was not C-802 and China is not certain if any anti-ship missiles of Chinese origin was used at all, and Iran, the reported supplier of the missile to Hezbollah, refused to formally confirm or deny the claim.
The Israeli ship possessed a sophisticated multi-layered missile defense capability designed to prevent an anti-ship missile attack such as the YJ-82 (a Phalanx CIWS gun, Barak anti-missile missiles, Chaff and ECM), but according to the Israeli military, these were intentionally disabled at the time of the alleged C-802 hit due to:"
