China and Russia are Source of N.Korean and Iranian Missiles
MissileThreat :: News Item for November 11, 2004:
"If Schmucker is right, then the focus of the efforts to prevent missile proliferation must change. No more concentrating only on pressuring Iran and North Korea. The focus must be shifted to applying pressure on Russia and China. Only the agreement of presidents Putin and Hu Jintao to stop the assistance and technology transfer could significantly curtail North Korea's and as a result, Iran's program.
Ha'aretz goes on to conclude that if Russia and China were to stem their proliferation, that the problem of Iranian missiles might cease. While it is true that this would help, it may also be that it is too late."
