Expansion of Network
In the 1980s, the international media reported that People's Republic of China negotiated with Pakistan for the sale of (UF6) and HEU fuel. Dr. A.Q. Khan is said to have paid a visit China to provide technical support to the Chinese nuclear weapons program and also aided in building the centrifuge facility in Hanzhong province. When it was reported, Chinese regime offered back the nuclear material, but Pakistan refused, calling it a "gift of gesture" to China. According to the independent IISS report, Zia had given a "free hand" to Qadeer Khan and given autonomous import and export access to him. The report showed that his acquisition activities were largely unsupervised by Pakistan governmental authorities; his activities went undetected for several years.

“How have I been able to live so long outside Nature without identifying myself with it? Everything lives, moves, everything corresponds; the magnetic rays, emanating either from myself or from others, cross the limitless chain of created things unimpeded; it is a transparent network that covers the world, and its slender threads communicate themselves by degrees to the planets and stars. Captive now upon earth, I commune with the chorus of the stars who share in my joys and sorrows.”
—Gérard De Nerval (1808–1855)
