Re #10

It is just saying that China is doing well compared with other countries, excluding the top two, U.S. and Russia.

Refer to the following FR post on 09/29/2003:

Judicial Watch Uncovers Clinton Nuclear Tech Transfer to China

/begin excerpt

U.S. Chips for PRC Nukes

Currently, China has only liquid fueled, long-range missiles, and the majority of them are based inside underground silos. These long-range rockets are reported to be "bore-sighted" – meaning the underground silos are aimed directly at target cities inside the United States.

The Chinese army is now attempting to shift its strategic nuclear arsenal to a solid-fuel "launch on command" capability. These new missiles are rail- and road-mobile and require sophisticated electronic guidance systems to accurately strike their intended targets.

As part of this upgrade, the Chinese army is also modifying its nuclear warhead designs to arm new survivable missiles such as the DF-31 and JL-2. Chinese engineers are planning to equip these new missiles with MIRV technology, allowing each missile to carry multiple nuclear warheads.

Again, the U.S. radiation hardened computer chip technology is a logical addition to the reconfiguration and upgrade of Chinese nuclear weapons.

Thanks for the post. The implications are disturbing. I agree with you that the toons made it much easier for the rest of the world to obtain our technology and improve their defenses. Shameful.
