                hereby certify that:

                    (A) the reciprocal arrangements made pursuant to 
                Article 8 of the Agreement have been designed to be 
                effective in ensuring that any nuclear material, 
                facilities, or components provided under the Agreement 
                shall be utilized solely for intended peaceful purposes 
                as set forth in the Agreement;

                Pursuant to section 902(a)(6)(B)(i) of Public Law 101-
                246, I hereby certify that the People's Republic of 
                China has provided clear and unequivocal assurances to 
                the United States that it is not assisting and will not 
                assist any nonnuclear-weapon state, either directly or 
                indirectly, in acquiring nuclear explosive devices or 
                the material and components for such devices.

                You are authorized and directed to publish this 
                determination in the Federal Register.
