Missile taking off

Mr Clinton has said he will make a decision next month
克林顿说下个月他将做出决定

More than 40 American experts on China have written to US President BillMissile Clinton urging him not to make what they call a "precipitous decision" to build an anti-ballistic missile system.
  The letter says that a presidential decision now could adversely affect US relations with China.
  It says it could provoke a series of negative steps by China which could undermine American security.
  Current plans, the letter says, are likely to serve as a catalyst for China to accelerate its nuclear weapons programme since it believes that its nuclear arsenal could otherwise become vulnerable.

专家们对美国建立导弹防御系统提出警告

  40多位中国问题专家给美国总统比尔克林顿写信让他不要做出他们所说的建立导弹防御系统的“草草的决定”。

  信中说现在总统做出决定可能会对中美关系产生消极影响。

  信中说这一决定可能引起中国采取影响美国安全的行动。

  信中说,目前的计划可能会象催化剂一样加快中国的核武器发展,因为中国会认为否则自己的核武器将不堪一击。
