In Beijing on the third and final stop of a six-day Asian tour, U.S. President George Bush has called on China to strongly oppose the proliferation of missiles and other weapons technology. In a joint press conference with Chinese President Jiang Zemin in Beijing's Great Hall of the People, Bush praised China's support in the fight against terrorism and urged the Chinese leader to make his country "a force for peace among its neighbors." However, a hoped for agreement on Chinese weapons sales and exports of sensitive military technology does not now appear likely to be signed during the president's visit.
