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.

"China has only liquid fueled, long-range missiles"
well,so was it in early 1990's,but now it is 2006.
case has changed much.
chinese nuke arsenals is the emphasis of its military-buildup,apart with navy and airforce.
in fact ,the progress of chinese military powers lie in the advancement of its mili-tech,not the increase of its mordern mili-equitment.
for example,in the past one decades,093&094 nuke sub,J10,041&039a sub have emerged and many people are amazed at that.
but the emergence of those platform is just the corner of ice.the more important is chinese grasp of some key mili-tech,such as MIRV,AGIS ,turbofan-engine and so on.
