Well the Chinese still have WAY less nukes than either of these nations. About as many as an SDI defense system could stop. Which if implemented has brought a promise from the Chinese to increase their own nuclear arsenal to a point where our SDI system couldn't stop it.
That's about the only promise I'd trust them to keep. They'll also increase their nuclear arsenal if we keep ours the same, or if we cut it back, or if we dance in circles on a pile of banana peels. (I seem to remember that their nukes weren't able to reach the U.S. until sometime during the Last administration. Hmmm...) I trust the Chinese government exactly as much as "I-speak-peace-in-English-but-I-say-kill-the-Jews-in-Arabic" Arafat. Both say whatever they need to in order to get the proper response from the mass media in this country, while going right ahead with their own plans.
