A Chinese scientist from the People’s Republic of China is due in Israel next week to present a paper at the annual Israel conference on aviation and astronautics, to be held in Tel Aviv and Haifa.
He is Z.C. Shi, of China’s Aerodynamic Research Institute in Sichuan province, who will deliver a paper on an aspect of supersonic flow, jointly with J.J. Gottlieb, of Toronto University’s Institute for Aerospace Studies.
Other senior Chinese officials of cooperative associations are also expected in Israel later this year, to attend the Agritech ’86 international agricultural exhibition to open in Tel Aviv in September. Israeli officials are unwilling to say much about the expected appearances at the conference of Chinese delegates, as well as delegates from developing countries in Africa and Asia, and countries from Eastern Europe, declaring that this is a sensitive issue.
