No retreat: lawmakers see continuing U.S. influence in Asia

Article Abstract:

Two US senators and three members of the House of Representatives see a continuing role for a strong US presence in Asia, with little erosion of its economic dominance. Sens John McCain and Frank Murkowski and Reps Doug Bereuter, Lee Hamilton, and Dana Rohrbacher agree trade friction is likely to increase, and note that it is the central problem in US-Japanese relations. They think China is vitally important, but say there are no specifically Western rules it must follow. They also discuss N Korea.

No ordinary General

Article Abstract:

US government officials hope to improve relations with the Chinese military when China's defence minister General Chi Haotian visits the US in Dec 1996. Chi is regarded as an important visitor because he is a vice-president of the Central Military Commission and a candidate for the Chinese Communist Party politburo. He and twenty others will stay in the US for 14 days. He is expected to receive a personal welcome by President Bill Clinton.
