Sino-US Trading: Troubled Water ......................................... 66
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
QI Bing                                                           CSST 95025

More than a century after the first visits to the "Middle Kingdom" by
Western warships, China and the West are still at odds, but still need each
other in a curiously symbolic relationship, seeking maximum advantage and
profit. The war, this time, will be fought with tariffs.

Not long ago, AT&T Robert Allen, one of the leading advocates for a broad
American business relationship with China, said that "China will be
installing the equivalent of the entire Bell Atlantic telephone network each
year for the next 10 years." He paused, smiled broadly and added, "And we
want to build that for them." Nearly a quarter-century ago, there was a
similar euphoria when Richard Nixon was ushering in the modern trading with
China with the first visit to Beijing by an American president. One CocaCola
executive at that time waxed eloquent about the prospect of selling one
bottle of Coke each year to each of 800 million Chinese.

But China wasn't ready for Coke then, It may never be. What Americans have
discovered is that China is ready for what the West guards most jealously
its ideas and innovations, which China can adapt for itself.

The fact is, most senior Chinese officials say they are rebelling against
the opportunism of the early business buccaneers from the West. They intent
to play the game of the West, but play it hard, whereas the Americans decide
to put on more pressure in issues such as marketing access and intellectual
property right protection.

Clinton Administration efforts to put a stop to the piracy practices have
paid off as Beijing established a 9-month special enforcement period, closed
seven CD and laser disk factories that were producing pirate products. China
has also agreed to open markets for computers, medical equipment, heavy
machinery, textiles, steel products, chemicals, pharmaceutical and other
products. However, companies like AT&T would like not only to supply China
with the hardware for its entire telecommunications network, but to operate
it as well. They admit that China's services markets are still largely
closed.

At the same time, Beijing remains especially upset over the continued
preference of large numbers of congressmen for the anti-Communist regime in
Taiwan and Tibetan claims for independence. Conversely, China gives the
White House continuing cause for angst over its insistence on pursing
aggressive transfer of weapons and nuclear technologies to Iran and North
Korea.

So what's next for US-China trade?

The biggest leap toward a stable, predictable relationship would be
agreement on China's entry as a full member of the World Trade Organization,
which administrates the complex, multinational, rule-based regime that has
been known as the General Agreement of Tariffs and Trade. With 124 nations
as members already, China stands along as a major trading nation that is
still outside its legal and administrative mechanisms.

While the Clinton Administration is supporting Chinese membership, it is
taking a tough stance: "Although we have taken a practical and pragmatic
position toward negotiations, we are not prepared to support China's
accession on anything else than a commercially meaningful basis," says a
deputy US Trade Representative.

The basis must be a recognition that China is the single greatest trading
partner in the world for US business and industry. As Bill Warwick,
president of AT&T in China, tells visitors to Beijing, there is no place in
the world he would rather do business than China. The size of the
transformation, he says, is colossal.

Hail! Harry WU! ......................................................... 74
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
LI Yan                                                            CSST 95025

Harry WU's ordeal in China for some 66 days has generated much debate on the
appropriateness of his deeds. Although the media has a lot of publicity over
his experience, including his appearance on the Larry King's live, and many
of the Chinese D-organizations have speak highly for him, WU still has a
unfavorable reputation among majority of ordinary Chinese Students and
Scholars in this country. The reason, may CSS think that WU broke Chinese
laws and should be published, that WU tried to stir trouble between the
United States and China, and that WU's ultimate motivation to sneak into
China remains questionable. However, I am here to say that WU's endeavor to
improve China's human right condition is commendable and should be respected
and supported by all the CSS who want to see a better China for Chinese.
Hail! Harry WU!

In the real world, it is actually difficult to see what a person's ultimate
motivation is. However, it is a little easier to see what the consequence of
an action is. WU's live long endeavor to expose China's darkest prison world
is his most commendable contribution to the wellbeing of the Chinese people
living in China. Although most of the CSS have more or less knowledge about
China's prison situation, the rest of the world is not; it is WU who brings
the darkest side of the CCP reigned China to the rest of the world, such
that the world will be more attentive to the abuse of the human right in
China. Hail! Harry WU!

In CCP reigned China, the abuse of human right is prevalent. However, people
living in China tend to ignore, maybe due to the oppressive nature of the
CCP, or maybe due to the fact that most of the people have been so familiar
with these kind of abuse that they are just numbed toward even the most
outrageous human right abuse. However, for a better China, for Chinese
people to be able to breath the air of freedom, it is imperative that these
kind of human right abuse be stopped. Back in China, there is no such
mechanism to safeguard the basic human right for the people, there is no
mechanism to stop these kind of abuse. Thus, it is necessary to appeal to
the attention of the international community and try to ask the
international community to put pressure on the CCP regime so that next time
when they are abusing the basic human right of our people, they will at
least have to think about it. And in fact, the external pressure exerted by
the international community does have certain effect on the CCP regime. Just
compared the situation of the culture revolution with that of the aftermath
of the 6/4. The reason that the persecutions were so widespread during the
Culture revolution is that at that time, China was a closed-mind Country,
and international community had much limited attention at it, while during
the 6/4, the great publicity generated by the modern telecommunication
deterred the CCP to even think about massive persecution toward those 6/4
participants.

For those CSS who despise Harry WU's "criminal behavior" in China, one
question is ready: if you really care about a better human right condition
for Chinese in China, do you have any better way to achieve what Harry WU
had achieved? We have been vastly offended by the gross human right abuse in
China, we have been vastly outrageous by what Chinese policement do to its
prisoner. Even not long time ago, we have witnessed that an ordinary Chinese
was brutally beaten to death by Chinese policemen (the Yang Xiao Han
incident). However, we only heard that some people tried unsuccessfully to
ask for justice for this case, we have never seen any action taken by CSS
trying to revamp China's human right condition. Harry WU serves as an
example-Go exposing the darkest side of the CCP reigned China and appeal the
international community to stop CCP's human right abuse.

No matter what Harry WU's motivation is, no matter whether Harry WU's
performance in China did violate Chinese laws or not, no matter whether
Harry WU took a picture of an ailing Chinese in hospital and told the world
that CCP was using the organ from condemned prisoner without appropriate
permission, no matter whether Harry WU lied in Chinese court in the City of
Wu Han or in the interview of Larry King Live, fact is that all those things
(human right violations) are really happening even today in China and the
most important thing in this endeavor to expose the darkest side of the CCP
is to show the world that these are true. In this sense, what Harry WU has
done are all justified.

We need more people of Harry WU kind to go to China and to help bring the
attention of the world to the human right condition in China.

Hail! Harry WU!

It's dinner time, thinking of the same old pizza? Why not try something new,
through the internet.

Open your WWW browser and go to Pizza Hut at http://www.pizzahut.com/ You'll
see the familiar Red Roof and what's there to offer. Click the demo button,
here it comes, the complete menu and of course the pictures of eye opening
pizzas. Too bad you cannot smell them, let along eat. Well, who knows, maybe
one day you will. Now why waste time o looking, you should go back and
filling your address and say "continue". Make you choices and submit order.
The pizza is on your way.

Ever wonder how they can do that. It's real simple, just like you order
through a 800 number. The operator will fax the order to the nearest
restaurant. But this time the operator is merely a computer on the internet.
