The meeting is the message
Article Abstract:
Chinese President Jiang Zemin's recent summit meeting in New York with US President Bill Clinton is significant chiefly for its symbolism, though it went better than their previous two meetings. Perhaps predictably, Chinese officials insisted on a last-minute change of venue due to an exhibition at the planned site, the New York Public Library. Jiang pressed for more assurances regarding Taiwan, though not as hard as he may have wanted to, while Clinton sought to further define the international relationship and restart talks on several fronts.

Out of synch: while Washington is putting a positive spin on Sino-U.S. ties, Beijing is reacting with suspicion to America's newly articulated policy of 'engagement' with China
Article Abstract:
The US policy of 'engagement' with China has been met with scepticism by China, which believes it is not a gesture of friendship. China is therefore not keen to discuss issues such as weapons proliferation, human rights or Taiwan. Washington aims to stabilize institutional and personal relations with China, and the relationship is certainly healthier than around nine months ago when China was firing missiles off Taiwan's coast. Chinese media have also pitched the Chinese president's meeting with president Bill Clinton as a modest success.

No red carpet: U.S. refuses to accord Chinese president a state visit
Article Abstract:
Due to a protocol dispute, China declined a US invitation for a meeting between presidents Bill Clinton and Jiang Zemin, though the two will meet at the United Nations' 50th anniversary celebration. Relations between the two countries remain strained in the wake of Taiwan President Lee Teng-hui's June 1995 visit, with China insisting Taiwan's top officials be barred from the US and Clinton unable to guarantee that in the face of congressional opposition. US election politics and nuclear proliferation are also issues.
