Sino-U.S. relations, floundering in a sea of misconceptions, may erode further
Article Abstract:
US-Chinese relations are currently suffering from misconceptions and mistrust. The Chinese believe that the US is pursuing a policy of containment, as seen through the US' decision to allow Taiwanese Pres. Lee Teng-hui to visit the country despite State Sec. Warren Christopher's repeated assurances to the contrary. For its part, the US was dismayed the Chinese government's arrest of American human-rights advocate Harry Wu. Although the current state of US-Chinese relations will not have major short-term impact, analysts fear that they could have significant long-term ramifications. Particularly, China may crack-down on US companies doing business in China and it may turn against the US on its efforts to contain North Korea and weapons proliferation.

China tightens rules to protect stability
Article Abstract:
President Jiang Zemin of China has led the effort to create rules that are designed to protect China's stability. These rules, which are expected to affect the media, private foundations and other foreign companies, are part of the president's preparation to build a spiritual civilization that would compensate for the effects of economic change. The rules, which were implemented starting January 1997, focus on controlling everything, particularly unwelcome foreign influences. Officials are also tightening the controls on foreign firms, concentrating on media and law companies.
