| Taken Questions Office of the Spokesman Washington, DC March 20, 2001 Question taken at the March 20, 2001 Press Briefing China Missile Agreement (Taken Question)QUESTION: Have there been any problems with the November 2000 agreement with the PRC on missile nonproliferation? Have they submitted any lists? Is there anything you can tell us about implementation of the agreement? ANSWER: - Our November 21, 2000, Missile Nonproliferation Arrangement Commits China not to assist other countries in developing nuclear-capable ballistic missiles in any way, and to put in place comprehensive missile-related export controls. The key will be whether China implements fully these commitments. We will monitor this situation closely and will continue to press for full implementation - as Secretary Powell has said, the administration will take a firm stand opposing Chinese transfers of missile- or Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD)-related technology to other countries. |
