This article focuses on the U.S. President Bill Clinton's trip to China, which will help ease the Asian nuclear weapons crisis. There's no doubt that China's role as arms merchant helped fuel the India-Pakistan conflict-as did Beijing's years of bluster toward and confrontation with New Delhi. But ever since its 1997 Party Congress, China has played a more responsible regional role. Beijing has put aside its confrontational stance toward Taiwan and toward its Southwest Asian neighbors over disputed China Sea claims.
