From BBC (5/28/98):

But China - and especially India's
fear of China's arsenal - is the
prime factor driving India's
weapons programmes. The fact
that Pakistan's own missile and
nuclear programmes have had
considerable Chinese assistance
only adds to India's concerns.

The Indian tests represent a
significant set-back for the Clinton administration's non-proliferation
policy. Washington has spectacularly failed to restrain either India
or Pakistan's nuclear ambitions.

Washington is desperately seeking a lever it can use to try to bring
pressure to bear. But Washington's own engagement with China
adds another complex element to this difficult problem.

Many Indian critics of the US position have insisted if Washington
really wants to stem the regional arms race, it should do more to
discourage China 's modernisation of its own nuclear arsenal.
