China provided ``tremendous assistance'' to Pakistan's ballistic missile programme during the latter half of 1996, the CIA has reported to the United States Congress. ``China,'' it said, ``also was the primary source of nuclear-related equipment and technology to Pakistan, and a key supplier to Iran (of nuclear equipment) during this reporting period.''
