# The Global Intelligence Files

On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

## Re: INSIGHT - CHINA/KAZAKH - New Uranium Deals in Kazakhstan

Russia owns much of Kaz's uranium industry. Russia struck quite a few
deals with China a few years back on jointly develpoing Kaz uranium.

Kazakhstan is counterbalancing Russia with deals like this uranium mine
deal, I agree. But I'm not sure about China being so much more confident
about their inroads to Kazakhstan -- why would the Chinese proceed with
overoptimism, having seen Russia's willingness to exert itself and
reclaim areas of past influence? won't Russia try to shorten Astana's
leash at some point?
Ultimately, will Moscow simply have to accept Beijing's dominance in
purchasing Kazak's resources, or will there be a clash down the road
when competition becomes fiercer?

I think the source got this from some OS press (with his own
interpretation of events), but he is in the know on Chinese resource
deals and says he can get more if we are interested. If so, please
send me specific questions.
I don't know if you guys saw, but the Chinese have this month acquired
large stakes in the uranium mining and downstream uranium industry in
Kazakhstan.
CGNPC has taken a 49% interest in two mines run by Kazatomprom. CNNC
has also taken a 49% interest in another Kazakh company that will do
conversion and possibly processing.
Obviously these conjoined deals have a lot of implications. First,
China is feeling much more confident in Central Asia, and Central Asia
is feeling much more comfortable with China.
On another level, this can be seen as Kazakhstan giving an enormous
finger to Russia.
