China is a country in East Asia. During the Cold War, it was a significant player in global geopolitics, often viewed as a rival or potential ally by both the United States and the Soviet Union.1

Nuclear Program

China's nuclear program was a subject of intense interest for U.S. intelligence. In the late summer of 1979, Mel Riley and Joe McMoneagle, remote viewers from the STARGATE PROJECT program, successfully remote-viewed a new Chinese nuclear device at Lop Nor. Their descriptions, including an unusual hourglass-shaped design element, were later confirmed by U.S. weapons analysts, demonstrating the efficacy of remote viewing in intelligence gathering.1

Diplomatic Relations

President Richard Nixon's historic visit to China in 1972 marked a significant shift in U.S. foreign policy, opening relations between the two countries. However, intelligence concerns persisted. For example, the Central Intelligence Agency investigated the Chinese Embassy in a foreign capital, suspecting its basement communications office, and later tasked Pat Price to remote-view a Chinese consular building in Rome.1
