ISRAEL, CHINA SIGN SECURITY MARKETING DEAL TEL AVIV — An Israeli firm has signed a security marketing deal with China.

Israel's Beit Alpha Technologies has signed a joint venture deal with an unidentified Chinese firm to help supply Beijing with equipment required for the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Beit Alpha, a kibbutz firm, manufactures anti-riot vehicles and systems.

Executives said Beit Alpha and the Chinese firm would develop and market vehicles for riot and crowd control. They said the platforms would be deployed by Chinese security forces for the Olympic Games.

In 2005, Beit Alpha was one of several Israeli companies that exhibited their products at the China Police Show in Beijing. Beit Alpha has sent an anti-riot police vehicle to China for a demonstration.
