Declassified: China aided N. Korea long range nukes; now Cheney to visit

[lostnfound]

What does it mean?

I read the article in In These Times that documents were recently declassified that China has been helping Libya, Iran, and North Korea develop nuclear missiles that could target New York. Now we read that Cheny is going to visit China, Japan, & South Korea. Did the BFEE decide to get regime change under way in North Korea before they leave office? If so, how?

White House downplays reports that country gave weapons plans to Pakistan

By Jehangir Pocha | 3.18.04

Bejing—Documents declassified March 6 indicate that while President Bush was crusading against Iraq’s mythical nuclear program, three other “axis of evil” countries—Libya, Iran and North Korea—were building nuclear weapons that could reach New York using missile designs provided by Pakistan and China, both of whom are U.S. allies in the war against terror.

The documents, dating from 1965 to 1997, reveal that “China provided assistance to Pakistan’s program to develop a nuclear weapon capability” and stalled U.S. investigations through deceptions, false promises and lies. And even today, the CIA cannot confirm that China has cut illicit nuclear ties with its client states.



By Bush’s own definition this should crown the China-Pakistan axis as the most evil of them all. Yet the White House is trying to dismiss China’s violation of the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty as a momentary lapse that belongs to the past....

1. China is the 1,000,000,000 pound dragon in the living room.

The one every one wants to do business with - and the one everyone is just a little afraid of.

If a resurgent and ever more capable China sets its eyes on empire, we are in the deepest of trouble. They are presently the 6th largest economy in the world. And they are building their navy rapidly.

I think we shall live in very interesting times...

2. so they'll be able to fight back, eh?

China is the "beaten wife" and the USA is a chronic wife beater. Of
course she's planting seeds of opposition. The USA military has
bases all around china... lets reverse the cards.

America was dominated by china, korea and japan this last century
via gunboat diplomacy until the revolution when we threw those
assholes out and rebuilt our country. Their military is much stronger
than ours, and they've got nuclear capable forces stationed
in canada, mexico, cuba, bermuda, azores, greenland and all through
out central america.

Just this last year, China overthrew the government of Bolivia and
is currently occupying nicaragua in its attempt to usurp power in
the hemisphere after the collapse of the soviet states of america.
China took us to war in mexico and their army made it all the way to
our california border until we repulsed them at the lost of half a
million men. They threatened to go nuclear, and we finally acheived
a stalemate, though they still station 37000 troops on our southern
border prepared to invade at short notice.

In retaliation, we've helped every nation state in the region to
arm itself with nuclear weapons (clandestinely) so that china's
military will overstretch trying to take on all these new opponents.

Our goal is that ultimately china will bankrupt itself from this
gross overstretch, and then we will be safe again without the threat
on all sides from an armed and hostile opponent.

Hmmm, when you consider the situtation in reverse, china is being
quite reasonable.

You've been reading too much propaganada. We're provoking china
with nuclear weapons.. of course they will respond... in subtle ways
that undermine our dominance... of course!
