Jul. 31 - The United States will soon allow more high-tech exports to China as part of the issues agreed upon during the recently concluded China-U.S. Strategic and Economic Dialogue this week.
“The U.S. pledged to facilitate exports of high-technology products from the U.S. to China,” Vice-Premier Wang Qishan told China Daily adding that the dialogue was a “full success.”

It seems that no one really cares, a few month back when I posted a thread regarding this very issue it got very few replies.
There are 3 types of people in the world.
1. People who make things happen = 5%
2. People who watch things happen = 10%
3. Sheople who ask after, what the hell happened = 85%

I don't act towards the best interest of the USA because I don't think in terms of the USA vs the rest of the world. There is something much bigger going on here and one person cannot change any of it. This is the time for education and strategic planning. After all, what is the ultimate goal? Continuation of the status quo or evolution into something better?

One misconception is that China [not the rest of the world] are already the masters of cheap mass production/knock offs of name brand high end consumer technology. True which is about as far as most people think of in terms of high technology.
What is happening here is a direct under cutting of the last advantage the US has as far a competitiveness in trade. This drives our last remaining shinning nugget of US industry.

See this is the part that confused the crap outta me. That's what I was leaning towards as well, but then this directly counters the wording of the resolution quoted in the OP. If they can't already make missles of the quality we have, then by selling them our missles and supporting tech, they gain that knowledge and thus improve their space launch tech by proxy. *shrug* maybe I am reading too much into it.
Locke was born on January 21, 1950 in Seattle, Washington. A third-generation American with paternal ancestry from Taishan, Guangdong in China, Locke is the second of five children of James, a native of the United States, and Julie Locke from Hong Kong, which at that time was a dependent territory of the United Kingdom. His parents gave him the Chinese name of 駱家輝 (pronounced Lok Gaa-Fai in Cantonese). He did not learn to speak English until he was five years old.
