Can anyone here confirm or deny this?

This is very stupid idea. Nuclear technology to China?

Citing recent Chinese plans to help Pakistan build two large reactors that are capable of producing plutonium, he said it is not the time for China to be rewarded with new reactor technology.

Until the Communist Party falls, it will NEVER be time.

Hey, Dick. You're no Goldwater.

Well, they need more efficient nuclear technology to match the ballistic missile technology we gave them a few years ago. Heh... the upside is that it should work to quell dissent over the need for ABM technology while providing jobs in the defense sector.

Ckinton allowed Loral to sell missile technology to the Chinese so that it could get its satellites launched cheaply.

So Clinton and the Democrats got money from Loral and the Chinese, the Chinese got the ability to deliver nuclear weapons to American cities, and Loral got its satellites launched cheaply.

Only Loral ended up going bankrupt anyway, having to sell off its only profitable business -- a number of orbiting satellites. So much for the argument that the deal was helping an American company. The American commercial satellite business went into the trash heap anyway because the economics of the business changed for the worse.

I don't know much about nuclear technology, and it may be true that the Chinese already have all the nukes they need, but I am very fearful that this deal will ultimately be to the detriment of American security.

If true, what a blunder. Globalism is a mental illness.
