Russian President Boris Yeltsin, left, and Chinese President Jiang Zemin toast each other after presiding over a signing ceremony in Beijing Thursday, Dec. 9, 1999. The two sides signed three border agreements, ending a conflict that brought them to blows 30 years ago. Yeltsin bluntly reminded President Clinton on Thursday that Russia is still a nuclear power, saying Clinton's stinging criticism would not dictate Moscow's conduct in the war in Chechnya. With restive minorities of its own in Tibet and the Muslim northwest, China says Russia should deal with Chechnya as it sees fit. (AP Photo/Kyodo)
