The Chinese basically got everything they wanted from us ....possibly more. The biggest coup for them was probably the nuclear warhead miniturization tech, which is extremely important if you want small effective nuke warheads.
Now the Chinese seem to be looking toward Moscow as their next step for stealing stuff. They have already started getting advanced cruise missiles (more advanced by the way than anything we have ...which is a shocker). However the biggest thing the Chinese are trying to get from Russia are plans for the new Topol-M Russian advanced ICBM! That would be a major prize for the Chinese since the Topol-M is meant to evade anti-ballistic missile defenses, and hence would be great for the Chinese who do not have thousands of warheads and thus have to ensure every warhead they have has a good chance of getting through US defenses.
Who knows, we may see US nuke warheads inside Russian ICBMs in the hands of the Chinese! And those missiles would be pointed at both Moscow and Washington!

And unless something is done China will be a potent threat 20 years from now once it becomes a legit superpower .....and chances are that it will achieve super-power status much sooner than that!
By the way why do you think Russia is arming the Indians with weapon systems that are top of the line? Even the US does not give Israel stuff as advanced as what the Russians are giving India! The reason is not Pakistan but essentially China. Russia knows that it needs all the allies it can get, and hence it is developing India into a buffer it can count on should China ever overstep its boundaries (although Russia is losing since some parts of Russia already have more Chinese in them than Russian citizens).
The US needs to wake up and see that although China is a big source for trade that it is also the biggest threat that will face the West in the future. Potentially the biggest threat in history even because for the first time we will have a nation that can attack us both militarily and economically.

Can you imagine the threat to our country if Russia has been secretly plotting with China and North Korea a strategy to bring about our downfall? The threat posed by Iraq is miniscule compared to that scenerio.
