U.S. to Tell China It Will Not
Object to Missile Buildup

By DAVID E. SANGER

THE FOLLOWING IS AN EXCERPT FROM THE ARTICLE:

" One senior official said that in the future, the United States and China might also
discuss resuming underground nuclear tests if they are needed to assure the
safety and reliability of their arsenals. Such a move, however, might allow China to
improve its nuclear warheads and lead to the end of a worldwide moratorium on
nuclear testing.

Both messages appear to mark a significant change in American policy. For years
the United States has discouraged China and all other nations from increasing the
size or quality of their nuclear arsenals, and from nuclear tests of any kind."
