Wrong, Kiwi breath.  The U S Navy gave the same reply
to China that it gave to New Zealand.  The Chinese
government just decided to accept the reply and
gp ahead with the visit.  They are, perhaps,
assuming that since the are a communist nation,
that the US would not send nuclear devices into
their waters anyway.  The Navy has not changed
it's policy concerning nuclear devices.  They
will not say one way or the other what is on
board their ships.  Nor, will they say where
such devices are stored on shore.  A rather
sound approach to keeping secrets in my opinion.
