Yeah..sure it is, and he RESCINDED A LONG STANDING EXEC ORDER BANNING IT, to MAKE IT HAPPEN.
Clinton Approves Technology Transfer to China
The Clinton Administration notified Congress today that it had approved the export of technology to China to permit the launching of a communications satellite aboard a Chinese rocket next month.
The certification was the first such notice to Congress under the law
, which was passed in the aftermath of a Congressional uproar last year over the transfer of sensitive missile technology to China.
Clinton Approves Technology Transfer to China - The New York Times
Here's more that you are clueless about...who was the LOBBYIST for LORAL...the missile tech company that made MILLIONS in the deal with RED CHINA for US guided missile tech? TOM DASCHLE's (then DEMOCRAT SENATE MAJORITY LEADER) wife, that's who.
Missile Failures Led To Loral-China Link
In May 1996, a Loral representative on that panel faxed Chinese space officials Loral's findings -- a breach that company superiors immediately reported to the State Department. Later, the Pentagon concluded that the information helped China's military missile effort and damaged U.S. national security. (In its defense, the firm says the Loral engineer who faxed the report, Nick Yen, first removed what he believed were sensitive passages, which the firm says indicates he thought all along it was permissible to send the report to the Chinese.)
Now the Justice Department also is investigating whether President Clinton's decision last February granting Loral the right to launch aboard yet another Chinese rocket -- despite an objection from the Justice Department -- was made because Loral CEO Bernard L. Schwartz is the Democratic Party's largest individual donor.

Bill Clinton Collected Donations, Then US Missile Tech Shipped To China
Bernard Schwartz donated about $1.5 million to the Democratic Party and Clinton’s 1996 campaign for reelection between 1994 and 1998. Schwartz, who was at the time chairman of Loral Space & Communication Ltd., seems to have used his influence to persuade the Clinton administration to switch the licensing authority for missile exports from the Department of State to the Department of Commerce, as the latter was more vulnerable to political influence.
The Commerce Department subsequently approved Loral’s application for the licenses, prompting the Clinton administration to officially approve the sale of the missile tech to China on May 10, 1999. Clinton pledged in a letter that the export would neither harm national security, nor significantly boost China’s space capabilities.
FLASHBACK: Bill Clinton Collected Donations, Then US Missile Tech Shipped To China | The Daily Caller
Two American aerospace companies damaged U.S. national security when they provided Chinese space engineers with technical rocketry data that could have assisted Beijing's ballistic missile program, a House committee concluded yesterday in a classified 700-page report.
The panel's report is the most comprehensive review so far of evidence that Hughes Electronics Corp. and Loral Space & Communications Ltd. shared sensitive U.S. technologies as they pursued commercial relations in China. The committee's findings appeared to include detailed criticism of the Clinton administration's policy of loosening high-tech export restrictions as a way to promote trade
