Qiu Jiangang, vice president of the China National Nuclear Corp (CNNC), told a meeting in Beijing that the company was already looking beyond those deals to an even bigger plant. “Both sides are in discussions over the CNNC exporting a One-GigaWatt nuclear plant to Pakistan”, he said. The other important points that were mentioned in this meeting were:

• Smaller C-2 China-built reactor to start operations in Pakistan very soon
• Contracts signed with Pakistan to add No.3, No.4 reactors
• Rapid domestic expansion lays foundation for going overseas
• Pakistan called showcase for China’s nuclear power prowess

BEIJING: China’s main nuclear power company announced that it is in talks to build a one-GigaWatt nuclear power plant in Pakistan, even as the two countries face U.S. and Indian concerns over their cooperation to build other plants in Pakistan. Despite having U.S. paid puppies in the government, miraculously, Pakistan has not signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and is free to pursue any nuclear plant it wants to. The state-run China National Nuclear Corp. has already helped Pakistan build its main nuclear power facility at Chashma in Punjab province. It is completing a second reactor there and has contracts to build two more 300-MegaWatt reactors.
Qiu Jiangang, vice president of CNNC, told a meeting in Beijing on Monday that the first reactor was operating safely, the second one was now being tested and expected to start formal operations by the end of the year. “Both sides are in discussions over the CNNC exporting a one-GigaWatt nuclear plant to Pakistan”, he added without giving details.

Chashma Nuclear Power Plant

China signed a deal in February to build the additional two 300-MegaWatt reactors. U.S. officials said such plans required special exemption from the 46-nation Nuclear Suppliers Group, which China joined in 2004, and which is supposed to regulate the global nuclear trade. China and Pakistan disagree. The original Civilian Nuclear deal was signed before China joined the Nuclear Suppliers Group–and the Sino-Pakistani deal preceded the Indo-US Nuclear deal.
Vann H. Van Diepen, the zionist U.S. acting assistant secretary of state for international security and nonproliferation, suggested before the House Foreign Affairs Committee in July that the U.S. would vote against such an exemption. However the US has not pursued the matter, and the Nuclear Supplier’s Group is not interested in antagonizing China.

Abdul Basit, a Pakistani Foreign Ministry spokesman, declined to comment on the one-GigaWatt plant, but said Pakistan’s nuclear cooperation with China was for civilian purposes. “The nuclear cooperation between the two countries are in accordance with international obligations and comes under IAEA safeguards”, he said, referring to the International Atomic Energy Agency.

China and Pakistan argue that the U.S. set a precedent by sealing a landmark deal to sell civilian nuclear fuel and technology to India in 2006 even though New Delhi had yet to sign the NPT.

Pak-China alliance has made Zionist globalists and India to panic 

That agreement, which lifted a U.S. ban imposed after India tested its first nuclear device in 1974, is seen as the cornerstone of a new partnership with New Delhi designed to lamely try and counterbalance China’s influence in Asia.
Critics, however, say it undermined the global non-proliferation regime by recognizing India as a global nuclear power, but not Pakistan, even though the South Asian rivals developed nuclear bombs simultaneously.

• Pakistan is a long-standing partner of China, and has been suffering chronic power shortages.
• Beijing is wary of Indian regional dominance and U.S. influence. In 2008 Washington signed a nuclear energy deal with India that China and other countries questioned but ultimately let through.
• Critics of that U.S.-India deal say it prompted China to deepen its own nuclear power cooperation with Pakistan, which has been beset by political instability and militant attacks.
• Rivals India and Pakistan both possess nuclear arsenals and refuse to join the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, which would oblige them to scrap those arsenals.

China says safeguards in place at Chashma ensure its role is entirely peaceful. The complex is China’s first nuclear energy plant project abroad, and CNNC recently cast it as a launching pad for expanding into the global market.
“We must rely on the Pakistan Chashma nuclear power project to improve our ability to contract for nuclear power projects abroad, and to open up the foreign market for nuclear energy”, the company said in an essay recently published in Seeking Truth, a magazine issued by China’s ruling Communist Party.

 A senior Pakistani government official familiar with discussions between Pakistan and China on nuclear cooperation said, “We are facing acute energy shortages and these nuclear power plants are important for us to overcome these shortages.”
“We as well as China have said time and again that all this cooperation is under the safeguards of the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) and there should not be any worries or concerns about it”, said the official, who demanded anonymity.




Chinese nuclear industry executives said at Monday’s seminar that the expanding nuclear power sector abroad offered abundant opportunities.

China prides itself in building the Lingao reactor that began fully operating in the country’s far southern Guangdong province last week in a record-breaking period of 57 months. “All these experiences have laid the foundation for the nuclear sector to go overseas”, said He Yu, chairman of the Guangdong Nuclear Power Corp.

China plans a massive expansion of its nuclear power in the next decade, and has about 28 reactors currently under construction, some 40 percent of the world’s total being built.
