...field of arms control, China used to be a serious proliferator of missiles and missile components, and a significant seller of conventional arms. But, over time, China has signed or ratified the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty and the Biological and Conventional Weapons Convention, has joined the Nuclear Suppliers Group and has essentially adhered to the Missile Technology Control Regime (although it is not a member). This is not the China that the world used to know: a "revisionist" destabilizing power that sought to overturn the international order. Today, the People's Republic of China...

Supporters of the program argued that a lunar mission would provide untold technological spin-offs. Many of those same enthusiasts now say they have been vindicated. Operating a satellite...
...President, if I could just ask again the question I asked earlier. Again, President Obama as well as Mr. Sarkozy and Mr. Brown will be asking immediate inspections of this new, previously undisclosed nuclear facility. How do you respond to that? Will you allow the inspections? We don't have any problems in terms of cooperating with the IAEA based on the supervisory prerogatives of the IAEA.
