Making an enemy: hawks in the United States are pressing for 'adversarial engagement' with China and their views could be gaining sympathy in Washington
Article Abstract:
Most foreign policy analysts believe that China will be the US' main strategic rival in the future and there are questions as to whether the rivalry can be managed peacefully. There is already criticism of President Bill Clinton's China policy and the anti-China tone of recent books and articles is stronger than at any time since the Tiananmen Square Massacre in 1989. This has followed newspaper reports of a Federal Bureau of Investigation examination into whether the Chinese embassy in Washington had arranged contributions to the Democratic Party's election campaign. Americans continue to have a negative attitude towards China and there is a call to limit China's world influence until it becomes more democratic.

Nothing but static: Radio Free Asiais hamstrung by politics
Article Abstract:
Proposed US broadcaster Radio Free Asia (RFA) appears to be a hostage of the changing political climate in Washington, where President Bill Clinton does not want to further antagonize China. Congress has appropriated $10 million for fiscal 1995 but the White House has not named nominees to the governing board, perhaps because of an active trade dispute and the Administration's decision to de-link trade and human rights. Voice of America contends that it already does most of what RFA would do, and few RFA advocates are evident.

Don't worry, be happy: China reassures U.S. about Hong Kong's future
Article Abstract:
China's senior bureaucrat on Hong Kong issues reassured US officials and investors in a six-city tour of the country from Mar 20 to 29 1995. Lu Ping, director of Beijing's Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office, affirmed support for the Basic Law and other issues of concern. Audience members were amazed, though unsure whether China has reversed its hard-line positions or will simply say anything for temporary US backing. An imminent State Dept report on human rights in China will probably be inoccuous.
