Predictably, the Chinese and the Russians now are dancing the Polka together. This is another part of our Kosovo "victory" package which Clinton is certain not to publicize much since (according to National Insecurity Adviser Sandy Berger) the Communist leadership in Beijing has reformed its ways and is only interested in watching Mulan and drinking coke. China's general visits Russian missile division ITAR-TASS June 12, 1999, Saturday Mikhail Shevtsov China's deputy chairman of the Central Military Council, Colonel-General Zhang Wannian, who is on a visit in Russia, on Saturday visited a division of Russian Missile Strategic Troops near Novosibirsk. He is the first Chinese high-ranking military official to visit a division of Russia's nuclear forces. A Russian Defense Ministry spokesman told Itar-Tass that the Chinese military delegation was shown the Topol missile and explained its possibilities in overcoming the air defense of a "potential foe".
