Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from China, Human Rights and Men: Hearing Before the Subcommittees on Economic Policy, Trade and Environment; International Security, International Organizations and Human Rights; And Asia and the Pacific of the Committee on Foreign Affairs House of Representatives; One Hundred Third Cong The subcommittees met, pursuant to notice at 1:22 p.m., in room 2172, Rayburn House Office Building; Hon. Tom Lantos (chairman of the Subcommittee on International Security, International Organizations and Human Rights) presiding. Mr. Lantos. The joint hearing of the Subcommittee on International Security, International Organizations and Human Rights, Subcommittee on Asia and the Pacific and the Subcommittee on Economic Policy, Trade and the Environment will be in order. This hearing on U.S.-China policy is taking place at a crossroads in the executive´s decisionmaking and credibility. Congress battled with the previous administration over China policy beginning in June 1989 when Prime Minister Li Peng ordered the People´s Liberation Army to open fire on hundreds of student protesters at Tiannamen Square. In 1992, President Bush vetoed legislation linking China´s trading privileges with the United States to its human rights record. President Clinton sought to avoid the annual battle by accepting the idea of linkage but delaying the day of reckoning for a year. He hoped that in the meantime the Chinese would come into compliance with what even critics of the linkage policy admit are utterly reasonable conditions. This hearing takes place shortly after Secretary Christopher´s visit to China during which the Chinese Government categorically rejected U.S. linkage of human rights to trade policy. Moreover, the Chinese leadership made a mockery of the Secretary´s efforts to characterize the visit as useful in bringing the two sides closer together by deliberately arresting and detaining several prominent Chinese dissidents before and during Assistant Secretary Shattuck´s visit and prior to the visit of Secretary Christopher. A grim tone was set in the weeks preceding Secretary Christopher´s recent visit as the Chinese authorities increased their repression of Tibetans and Chinese Catholics and Protestants.
