The National Security Archive has initiated a special project on the Chinese nuclear weapons program and U.S. policy toward it. The purpose is to discover how the U.S. government monitored the Chinese nuclear program and ascertain what it knew (or believed that it knew) and thought about that program from the late 1950s to the present.

The link that you have provided is explained within the first two sentences;

This type of assessment is made on every country that has a nuclear program. Nothng new.
As to your initial post and link to the .pdf file that mentions Tier 1: Chinese Security Project, this was only a DoD method of prioritizing. This link might help:
New DoD Investigative Prioritization Policy
Again, nothing new.

No, it wouldn't have it's own priority for a security clearance investigation.

Ummm, they don't have anything to do with security clearance. They are projects that are being prioritized, thats all.
Apparently you didn't notice this?

It has everything to do with security clearances. Did you do any research on that web site? It is listed in the subfolder for a computer program that helps applicants put together their clearance package. Look at www.dss.mil... it explains the other attachment.
Security clearances can take an extremely long time (over 2 years for a standard Top Secret) - this table lists types of clearances that have priority over others. The top level (Presidential, also called "Yankee White") is extremely intense and still is completed in a matter of weeks.
The China Secure Project title is still interesting in this context however. I would think it is a program to screen certain DoD employee's that have access to sensitive info directly relating to China.
