China May Have Supplied Libya Arms
After raiding numerous Gadhafi compounds, documents upon documents have been found that may reveal China has attempted to aid Libya with arms against the rebels. These documents have not been verified yet, and the Chinese government denies any direct involvement of the Chinese government with selling arms to Gadhafi. Supposedly these documents, or word of these documents reached a Canadian newspaper, The Globe and Mail, and the story is well known now because of this newspaper, many find there is a good possibility the story might be true. The NTC believes the documents are not fake and they provide strong proof that Gadhafi was buying weapons from China state owned arms manufacturers.
In these documents, there are signatures for orders from Chinese government officials. and it appears to those generals who defected from Gadhafis regime early that he began using new weapons they knew he did not have before. China maintains it has not strayed from the U.N. Security Council resolutions that banned arms exchanges with Libya. From the documents taken, however, China also gave Gadhafi pointers on how to get weapons from other countries, recommending taking weapons from Algeria since all youd have to do is cross the border. Also, China was not in favor of allowing NATO to use a air force to protect the Libyan people.
According to these documents, at least $200 million dollars worth of weapons China was trying to sell to Gadhafis regime. Both China and Algeria have not as of yet recognized the NTC as the legitimate ruling body of Libya, but Algeria promises it will shortly
