'Hawkish Western Leaders' Berated
(South China Morning Post, June 17, 1999) "Young leaders like Clinton
and Blair lack the historical perspective to see their aggressive foreign
policy could lead to regional or even world conflict," The paper,
written by strategists and government experts, said the economic and
technological superiority of the US and Europe had predisposed these leaders
to seek "hegemonist" goals.
Prueher Would Face Stormy Seas in China
Richard Halloran (Global Beat Issue Brief No. 54, June 7, 1999) Not since the
Korean War, when Americans and Chinese fought each other from 1950 to 1953,
have Sino-U.S. relations been so turbulent. This could pose a great challenge
to Joseph W. Prueher, the retired admiral who is the prospective American
ambassador to China.

Why Normal Trade With China Should Continue Stephen J. Yates (Heritage Foundation, Executive
Memorandum, No. 607 June 17, 1999) Normal Trade Serves U.S. Interests. NTR
simply expresses the U.S. commitment to "normal" trade and the
environment of freedom and opportunity it can create. It does not endorse
trade in militarily sensitive technologies, and it does not absolve the U.S.
government of its responsibility to defend against the use of such technologies.

The China Syndrome, Robert Manning (Intellectual

Looking at China, America sees revelations about stolen nuclear technology,
jailing of political dissidents, tensions over Taiwan, ballooning trade
deficits.
Is China a Threat to American Security, Melvin Goodman ( Intellectual
Capital, Mar.18, 1999) China's apparent success in gathering sensitive
intelligence from the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico is no more
surprising than Israel's success in managing the espionage of Jonathan
Pollard or Russia's success in managing the espionage of Aldrich Ames. But it
is at least as troubling.

Tiananmen Expands into the Future X.
Drew Liu (Pacific Forum, CSIS, PacNet 23, June 11, 1999) The substantive
Tiananmen, unboxable into a verdict, is defining China's political evolution
into the next century. First, Tiananmen made communism as a system of belief
and governance thoroughly bankrupt, and the post-Tiananmen leadership must
derive a new basis of legitimacy in order to rule China.
Can Sino-U.S. Relations be Salvaged?
Ralph A. Cossa (Pacific Forum CSIS, PacNet #20, May 21, 1999) The accidental

will have long-term negative consequences for Sino-U.S. relations, especially
if both sides continue to mishandle the tragic affair.

Collateral Damage (TIME Asia, May
24, 1999) A week of fury in Beijing is a reminder: China's hard-liners are
alive and well.
Wounded Pride (Newsweek,
International Edition, May 24, 1999) Chinese nationalism is a major force to
be reckoned with—as the United States learned when enraged demonstrators took
to the streets.
Defending Taiwan (Newsweek,
International Edition, May 17, 1999) The good news for Taiwan is that a
single land base or ship could defend the entire island against anything
Beijing could toss at it. The bad news is that the new U.S. land- and
sea-based systems are not expected to reach "initial operational
capability" until after 2007.
New

The China Agenda (New York Times, May
30, 1999) Washington's battered relations with Beijing suffered serious new
damage last week from the Cox committee report on Chinese theft of American
nuclear and missile secrets. Working ties will have to be rebuilt, but on
more realistic foundations than before. While it still makes sense to
encourage China to open its economy and play a constructive role in
international affairs, Washington must give clear priority to protecting
American security.

Far
Eastern Economic Review
Flying The Flag By Chester Dawson
(Far Eastern Economic Review, August 12, 1999) Long a passive observer when
it comes to Asian security issues, Japan is suddenly beginning to look much
more hawkish--a stance that's largely triggered by threats from North Korea.
Uneasy Together (Far Eastern Economic
Review, June 17, 1999) Hopes of a 'strategic partnership' are dead, but a new
Cold War is not a viable alternative. China and the United States are
fumbling towards a new relationship where national security will be
paramount--but shared interests will survive.
In Tiananmen's Shadow (Far Eastern
Economic Review, May 27, 1999) A decade after the June 4 massacre, the
Communist Party is still ruling China and the only students marching in the
streets are chanting slogans in support of the Motherland. But the events of
1989 helped trigger profound changes in China. The Communist Party has tried
to meet at least some of the demands raised by students and ordinary Chinese
over weeks of protest. It has punished corrupt officials, allowed greater
freedoms in daily life and promoted economic development. But has it done
enough? As long as the party monopolizes power, only the fear of another
Tiananmen can impel it to truly listen and respond to popular complaints.
Double-Edged Fury (Far Eastern
Economic Review, May 20, 1999) Nato's bombing of a Chinese embassy--and subsequent
Chinese government-orchestrated protests--may haunt Sino-U.S. relations for
years to come. They will also have domestic consequences.

argument to congressional opponents of President Clinton's policy of

hope for peaceful unification with Taiwan.
James Sasser - LA Times Interview (LA Times, June 27, 1999) A Crash Course in

Slobodan Milosevic, other parts of the world are taking note not of a
human-rights monster getting his comeuppance but of superior technology
getting its way.
