I'm not blaming China, I'm blaming those in government and companies like Loral etc. who 'forget' that some technology can have a dual purpose.
The NMD thing is nice, as long as Boeing, and others mentioned in Black Jade's post do not undermine the NMD technology by selling/developing systems in China that can be used to get around a missile defense. NMD isn't a silver bullet (note: I'm not saying super175 believes it is) but it is another tool that can be used to weaken the CCP. Hopefully, the CCP will peacefully expire as indicated in the article below. One can only hope.

Here is another good read from super175, for those interested:
Jiang's heirs will bring about Cold War foe's vision

Maybe we should not say 'weaken the CCP' because it might not do that. What it might do is keep their power in check to some extent. NMD alone is not enough.

You are right though, NMD is no silver bullet. I never said it was, but I do think it is a really good tool in the arsenal of a comprehensive policy.
