    What was old is now new again apparently:


    President Obama recently shifted authority for approving sales to China of missile and space technology from the White House to the Commerce Department -- a move critics say will loosen export controls and potentially benefit Chinese missile development.

    The president issued a little-noticed "presidential determination" Sept. 29 that delegated authority for determining whether missile and space exports should be approved for China to Commerce Secretary Gary Locke.

    Well, at least we don't have to be worried about them hitting something they aren't aiming at

    I can't see any reason why this guy would make a decision against our interests and for China's. <sarcasm off>
