Well, from what I gather, Clinton sold
rocket technology to the Chinese. Not specifically
weapons tech. This has a variety of uses, the Chinese space program being an apparently obvious one. Yes you can use rockets for deploying warheads. So what? Now you know how the rest of the world feels. Alot of
us arn't too keen on the proliferation of American nuclear armaments either. But it just goes with the territory of international superpower politics. I seriously doubt that any national leaders would ever be so utterly foolish as to actually engage in nuclear warfare. The CCP arn't who you should be worrying about, they would have far too much to lose in a nuclear exchange.
I remember reading a quote from Clinton in 'Time' magazine stating that he wants to live in a world that will not be totally hostile to the USA once the USA is inevitably no longer the sole superpower on the planet. So sharing technology with a rising super-power and establishing closer relations with them would be a pretty good way of building diplomatic bridges I would imagine.
The Chinese as a people, and as a nation, are not evil, bloodthirsty totalitarians. Trust me on this.

Cold-War era 'anti-communism' is old and tired. Do the world a favour and stop invoking old xenophobias and try getting to know strangers instead of unconditionally fearing them.
