Cal Thomas reports on William Perry's stance against U S military technology transfers to China. Perry recalls advising against transfers in the 1980s and 1990s, says the Defense Conversion Commission failed, and argues U S restrictions should target clear security threats while allowing non sanctionable commercial exports. He notes no White House pressure and criticizes the India Pakistan nuclear tests as a global setback.
