6/5/07 Joining Russia, China Criticizes U.S. on Missile Defense

Marching in sync to fulfill Nostradamus's prophesies. As common sense in science is lost with the continued stagnation of our energy base and deep troubling theoretical foundational issues in physics, so too, Civilization's Survival Parameters fly out of sight, out of mind, along with the values and morals inherent within new scientific understanding which new energy systems would reveal. The new scientific comprehension eliminates the caveman 'club/stick' conflict resolution methods still used in the 21st century. Besides, caveman club/stick methods do not work well with nuclear toys, as they threaten all of humanity

China Warns U.S. May Set Off Arms Race

BEIJING (AP) -- China joined Russia on Tuesday in criticizing a U.S. plan to build a missile defense system in Europe, saying the system could set off an arms race.
The White House plans to install a radar system in the Czech Republic and interceptor missiles in Poland -- two Eastern European countries that were in the Soviet orbit during the Cold War era.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said the plan had ''aroused great concern and attention.''
''China believes that the impact of a missile defense system on strategic defense and stability is not conducive to mutual trust of major nations and regional security,'' she said. ''It may also give rise to a proliferation problem.''
Russia perceives the shield as a direct threat and says it has no choice but to boost its own military potential in response. In some of his latest comments on the matter, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that Moscow could take ''retaliatory steps'' including aiming nuclear weapons at U.S. military bases in Europe.
The U.S. says the network is meant to protect NATO allies against a missile launch from Iran, not Russia.
Once Cold War rivals for the allegiances of the socialist world, China and Russia improved relations dramatically in the 1990s and forged what they call a ''strategic partnership.''
