The Chinese Arms Giant That Has Been Supplying America's Enemies for 60 Years

🔫 For six decades, one Chinese company has been arming the enemies of the United States — and Washington has never been able to stop it. Norinco, the North China Industries Corporation, was founded in 1980 with direct approval from Beijing's State Council, but the weapons it sells to the world predate the company itself. From Viet Cong fighters in Southeast Asian jungles to Taliban soldiers in Afghan mountain passes, from Iranian troops in desert trenches to militias across Africa and the Middle East, Norinco weapons have been documented on every side of every major conflict of the last sixty years — including in the hands of forces fighting directly against American troops.

🌍 Sanctioned by the United States in 1993, hit with additional penalties by the Bush administration in 2003 for alleged missile technology transfers to Iran, and blacklisted by both the Trump and Biden administrations — Norinco has absorbed every measure Washington could throw at it and kept selling. Today it reports over 21 billion dollars in annual arms revenue and ranks among the 15 largest defense contractors on the planet. It does not require end-user certificates from the governments it supplies. It does not ask what the weapons will be used for. And it has never stopped. This is the full history of the company that became China's most powerful and most controversial arms export machine — told through declassified records, sanctions documents, and six decades of battlefield evidence.
