Declassified CIA report shows Pakistan transferred nukes to Syria and got missile technology from China

Declassified CIA report.


Despite these efforts, in 2004 Chinese entities continued to work with Pakistan and Iran on
ballistic missile-related projects and firms in China provided dual- use missile-related items, raw
materials, or assistance to Libya and North Korea. Chinese entity assistance has helped Pakistan
achieve domestic serial production of solid-propellant SRBMs and has supported Pakistan's
development of solid-propellant MRBMs. Chinese-entity assistance also helped Iran move
toward its goal of becoming self-sufficient in the production of ballistic missiles.
