WASHINGTON: US-India nuclear deal prevents the Obama administration from blocking a possible export of two Chinese nuclear power reactors to Pakistan, says a US think-tank.

“China is poised to export two power reactors to Pakistan,” said a report released by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington.

“The pending Sino-Pakistan deal reflects the growing confidence and assertiveness of China’s nuclear energy programme.”

A nuclear deal the US signed with India was one of the main reasons that prevented Washington from openly criticising the Chinese export to Islamabad, the report observed.

The US administration, however, might object to it inside the Nuclear Suppliers Group, which oversees such transactions. Such objections, however, “cannot prevent China from exporting the reactors”, the report added.

“President Barack Obama will not openly criticise the Chinese export because Washington, in the context of a bilateral security dialogue with Islamabad, may be sensitive to Pakistan’s desire for civilian nuclear cooperation in the wake of the sweeping US-India nuclear deal,” said the report while explaining the first reason for a muted US reaction.

It recalled that the US-India deal entered into force in 2008 after considerable arm-twisting of NSG states by the United States, France and Russia.

“The breach created by the US-India deal, which would be opened wider by Chinese export of reactors to Pakistan, will not be easily closed because, as stated by paragraph 16 of the (NSG) guidelines, unanimous consent is required for any changes in the guidelines,” the report warned.

“The United States may also tolerate China’s new nuclear deal with Pakistan because Obama wants China’s support for United Nations Security Council sanctions against Iran this spring,” the report noted.

Author Mark Hibbs said in the report that Beijing might justify the deal with Islamabad on the grounds of nuclear stability in South Asia and the need for parity between New Delhi and Islamabad.

“China is likely to soon inform the NSG of its planned transaction.”

Because of China’s growing influence in Pakistan, some NSG countries suggested that the United States would also enlist China to persuade Pakistan to drop its opposition to negotiation of a Fissile Material Cut-Off Treaty. Pakistan has said it could not accept the treaty because the US-India deal had tilted the nuclear balance in South Asia in India’s favour.

Washington objects to China-Pakistan nuclear deal​

The Obama administration has decided to object to a lucrative deal in which a state-owned Chinese companies would supply Pakistan with two nuclear reactors, U.S. officials said.

The deal is expected to be discussed next week at a meeting in New Zealand of the 46-nation Nuclear Suppliers Group, which monitors such transactions. Experts had said it appears to be a violation of international guidelines forbidding nuclear exports to countries that have not signed onto the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty or do not have international safeguards on reactors. Pakistan has not signed the treaty.

China has suggested the sale is grandfathered from before it joined the NSG in 2004, because it was completing work on two earlier reactors for Pakistan at the time. But U.S. officials disagree.

"Additional nuclear cooperation with Pakistan beyond those specific projects that were grandfathered in 2004 would require consensus approval" by the NSG, a U.S. official said, speaking on condition of anonymity, "which we believe is extremely unlikely."

State Department spokesman Gordon DuGuid said the U.S. government "has reiterated to the Chinese government that the United States expects Beijing to cooperate with Pakistan in ways consistent with Chinese nonproliferation obligations."

US to object to Pakistan-China nuclear reactor deal

June 15, 2010

A Washington Post report on Tuesday said that the Obama administration has decided to object to Pakistan-China’s nuclear reactor deal.

Under the lucrative deal state-owned Chinese companies would supply Pakistan with two nuclear reactors.

The deal is expected to be discussed next week at a meeting in New Zealand of the 46-nation Nuclear Suppliers Group which monitors such transactions.

A state department spokesman said that the United States expects Beijing to cooperate with Pakistan in ways consistent with Chinese nonproliferation obligations.

Pakistan has not signed the non-proliferation treaty. It may be mentioned here that the US has already signed a civil nuclear deal with India. India has not signed the non-proliferation treaty either.
A senior US official had earlier said that the US had no objections to the deal.

 

[Awesome]

What'll they do? Put Sanctions on China? I think the NSG would sooner put sanctions on the US. Also the US will be asked on every corner "Dude aren't you being a total hypocrite?"

 

[i am your fear]

well USA is still confused about Pakistan

Washington objects to China-Pakistan nuclear deal​

Is this only me or they really are idiot?

well USA is still confused about Pakistan

You are being too nice, its actually called being a hypocrite and applying blatant double standards, which in itself is not really new behavior on the part of the US.

And then the mandarins in the US wonder ,'why is there so much anti-US sentiment?'

Golly, perhaps if the US tried to be a little less duplicitous and hypocritical in its foreign policies they'd see some change.

Thats what they can do, the trio (USA, India & Israel) would do anything to stop this deal going through, let see wether our all weather friend be able to sustain their pressure or not.

 

[graphican]

"Pakistan has not signed the non-proliferation treaty. It may be mentioned here that the US has already signed a civil nuclear deal with India. India has not signed the non-proliferation treaty either."

And Americans still have a reason to "object" Sino-Pak Nuclear deal. Shame on their double standards, shame on Obama regime. This tells why the world hates them to this level.
