2. Chinese Education Delegation Visits Utah State University
>From: Huang Guyang  GHUANG@ecs.umass.edu Thu Jul 19 21:38:54 1990

                Chinese Education Delegation visits Utah State U.

     A Chinese "education delegation" consisting of some professors of "moral
education" such as those "communist priests" is traveling around US now.
Perhaps having learned lessons on the previous delegation which had some
unpleasant experience in U. Chicago, this delegation has not yet met any
Chinese students officially. The only Chinese student they talked with was a
waiter in a Chinese restaurant, according to a reliable source.

     Now they got some trouble in not meeting their educated ones. This
delegation was heading to Univ. of Utah. The school authority invited 8 local
Chinese students---including former IFCSS council representative and current
SVC member Mr. Zhang, Wei and UUT CSSA president---to attend the reception
banquet. When the delegation was told about this arrangement, they refused to
eat together with Chinese fellows, with the excuse of "it's our State
Education Commission's policy not to meet Chinese students". The Chinese
students in U. of UT decided after discussion to release this to news media.
The World Journal carried the news on Monday. They also called local
newspapers, TV station and LA Times for a news conference. Some professors in
the U. of UT said, "Now I finally see how stupid the Chinese government is,
which I never thought of." Some faculties were going to boycott the banquet if
Chinese students would be refused into the reception.

     The delegation felt the pressure. They discussed till 3 am. Then they had
the organizer call Mr. Zhang, Wei. This time they said it was not the policy
of the State Education Commission so please not to embrace their leader
comrades. They could allow the Univ. to invite the Chinese students for the
meal, if they would not make the story too well known. The Chinese students
gave a reply to ask for a formal explanation about the whole case and for a
meeting with all local Chinese students. Up to this reporter called U. UT this
morning, the delegation hadn't answered yet.

     Mr. Zhang, Wei or/and Mr. Peng, Yue-nan, official canidate of Chairperson
of the Committee for Chinese Domestic affairs, IFCSS will write more detailed
story and commentaries.

4. Faster Way Sending Money Back to China

-------------------------------------------------
Usually, sending check or money order back to china is slow to get cash.
If you want to have the money available quickly, you can wire money
through the Bank of China (BC) New York Branch to the local BC branch
with which the recipient has an account. It costs about $20 and the
money will be available in three day at the local BC branch. If you
decide to wire, be sure to ask the BC NY branch for the federal route number;
this number is required by your local bank to wire money to the
BC NY branch. You should also supply the recipient's account number and
his BC branch when filing the WIRE order.

If you send a large amount of money, you may consider the withdraw
limits set by the Chinese Government. The upper limit for withdrawing
freely for account type B is $5,000 (I don't know what the type B means).
The upper limits for all other types of accounts are less than $5,000.
Any withdraw more than the upper limit for a given account requires
a special permit from the National Foreign Currency Bureau. It is well-known
that the permit is very difficult to obtain for ordinary people and
it may take long time and many precedures (many official stamps).

Upon request by some netters, here is the address of

		Bank of China, NY Branch
		410 Madison Ave
		New York, NY 10017

I remember they can remit money order both by ordinary mail and by e-mail (you
know what I mean) which is much faster.

BTW, the general practice of Bank of China is that you must deposit the
check or money order for at least one month before you can get real US cash.
But the nature of Chinese systems is bound to generate a lot of variations
of one policy.  I was just told by a friend that their local branch's policy
is three months' deposit rather than one month.  Reason?  "We provide you
with services, therefore we should use the money before you."
