China and India

“U.S., China Agree on Broad Goals but Few Specifics in Arms Control Talk” (July 9) notes that China’s Communist regime may be actively helping Pakistan upgrade its arsenal of missiles so Pakistani missiles could deliver nuclear payloads to Indian cities. In view of this information, the U.S. Senate must not permit the U.S. to have permanent normal trade ties with China.
Surely, the Senate must hold China accountable for such a horrendous act against India, the world’s proven model democracy (the title awarded to India this month by the United Nations Development Program). It is time for the U.S. to support democratic India as a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council or run the risk of being labeled a hypocrite when it comes to playing fair in Southeast Asia.
