China North Industries (NORINCO) is the main import-export company for China’s largest arms manufacturer, China North Industries Group Corporation [CNGC/NORINCO(G)], as well as China South Industries Group Corporation (CSG). NORINCO(G) and CSG both own 50 percent of the NORINCO’s shares.[2] A vast conglomerate, NORINCO’s defense products include precision strike systems, amphibious assault weapons and equipment, anti-aircraft & anti-missile systems, information and night vision products, anti-terrorism & anti-riot equipment, as well as small arms.[3]
China’s former Fifth Ministry of Machine-Building established NORINCO in 1979 to mask its military affiliation in order to import advanced machinery.[4] China’s Central Military Commission and the State Council signed Ratification Circular No. 55 in 1980 to formally legalize arms exports and put NORINCO in charge.[5] The Fifth Ministry became the Ministry of Ordnance and later was corporatized as the China Ordnance Industries Corporation (COIC) in 1988.[6] During institutional reforms in 1999, NORINCO(G) and CSG formed out of COIC, with NORINCO remaining the predominant export-import company.[7]
