would not only threaten the nuclear disarmament process but would also
shatter the basis for nuclear non-prolferation and will give rise to a
new arms race, including an arms race in outer space” Sha Zukang,
Chinese Foreign Ministry Arms Control Director. . . . The USA withdrew
from the ABM treaty in June 2002 . . .

well lead to a new arms race, setbacks for nuclear disarmament and
non-proliferation, and create new incentives for missile proliferation”
Kofi Annan, UN General Secretary

handicapping of the arms control process” Joschka Fisher, German
Foreign Minister, on missile defence
