Why China won't build US warheads

Article Abstract:

The Cox Report on spying by China to gain information on nuclear technology gives rise to questions about the use that China will make of the information alleged to have been stolen. China carried out 33 tests in the 33 years to Jul 1996, but there are arguments against China using US technology for its nuclear weapons program. The US policy was to use a large number of accurate missiles, but this is not the policy of China. There are also technical drawbacks to using the US system in the Chinese context.

Hyping Chinese espionage

Article Abstract:

The Cox Report on allegations of Chinese espionage concludes that Chinarepresents a nuclear threat to the US and this is a result of using US technology. The report is not an objective account of espionage by China and has exaggerated the threat. Congress members are showing hypocrisy by feigning outrage over allegations of efforts by China to steal nuclear secrets from the US. Espionage has long been carried out, and China has not become a greater threat than it was in the past.
