patiently collecting all available information in a legitimate manner from
scientific journals and conferences and analyzing the results.
"These tactics," Deacon noted, "[enabled] the Chinese to catch up with
the Western World to the extent of now possessing a powerful nuclear
deterrent. Israel's ability to produce such a weapon," Deacon added, writing
in 1977, "is now undoubted." 1019
In fact, as Deacon pointed out, nuclear bomb production has indeed
been a major part of the covert relationship between Israel and Red China,
conducted through their respective intelligence agencies—although this is a
critical point that has otherwise been carefully suppressed.
According to Deacon: "[Nuclear bomb production] has been one of the
spheres in which the Israelis and the Chinese have actually helped one
another—not officially, but discreetly through Secret Service channels. The
`third party intermediaries' involved in such deals have sometimes been
non-Israeli Jews working for the Chinese and occasionally even
1020
Albanians."' What Deacon pointed out further is of equal
significance: "This is a subject rarely touched upon by any writers on Middle
East affairs, but such closely guarded contacts as the two Secret Services
maintain have bonuses to both sides. On balance the Chinese may have
gained most from these relatively low-key and cautious exchanges." 1021
This covert nuclear relationship between Red China and Israel was one
that cemented the ties between the two nations, so much so that they
increasingly began cooperating in other spheres—and gradually moving
toward open acknowledgment of their long-standing behind-the-scenes
contacts through their two intelligence agencies.
CHINESE INTRIGUE FOR ISRAEL
It was following Israel's role in the conspiracy that removed John F.
Kennedy from the presidency and saved China's nuclear bomb development
facilities from destruction by American forces, that the Chinese actually
began engaging in intrigue against their former Arab ally, Nasser of Egypt.
According to Deacon, writing of the Chinese: "In 1965 they were
foolish enough to allow themselves to be implicated in an Arab Communist
plot to assassinate [Nasser] and the Chinese Ambassador had to leave the
country after the Egyptian police found links between the plotters and the
head of the New China News Agency who was reported to have helped
finance the coup. " 1022
Deacon noted that, "The Israelis have always been quick to note
dissensions in the Arab ranks and the Mossad has more than once exploited
these." 1023 It is thus apparent that China's role in the conspiracy against
Nasser was clearly working on behalf of its secret Mossad ally.
What' s more, as Deacon pointed out, "It was partly through
intelligence leaked to the Chinese and some Iraqis that Iraq cut its links with
the KGB and quarreled with the pro-Soviet government of Syria." 1024
