I think our policies have not been thoughtful relative to how we deal with these nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction.
The U.S. relationship with China is one of the most important and complex relationships we have in the world.
China says--and I think it is borne out by their actions--that they do not support North Korea as a nuclear weapons state and that they wish to see the entire Korean Peninsula denuclearized.
We cannot allow these weapons usable materials, to be separated from spent nuclear fuel.
