T83 30883 Office of the Press Secretary For Mediate Release June 3; 1359 PRESS WWNCE BY THE PRESIDENT The B: iet inc; Room 9:40 3.3. m. {go TEE mam: airing the past few days, elements of the Chinese Amy have been brutally messing popular and peaceful amtratione in China. There has been widespread and continuing violence, may casualties and my odeathe . And we (1091039 the decision to use force, and I now call on the Chinese leadership publicly, as I have in private climate, to avoid violence and to I return to their previous policy of restraint. me in ?emmen Square were advocating basic tame rights, includiog the freedoe of expression, freedom of . the press, freedoa o: assoczation. These are goals ye support aroma the world. These are meow that are enshrined in both the 8.8. Constitution and the Chinese Constitution. Wheat the world ve stand with those who seek greater fraction and democracy. i?ois'ie ?trawl? teit viev of a?niniettation, at our Congress and, 6? ?home, of meadow people. - usi restraint, in recent weeks, we?ve urged net 3 been a violent and nonVi?1ence and dialogue. Instead, there he b10062 attack on the demonstrators. The United States cannot consone -: Violent attacks and cannot ignore the conseqoencss for our stionship with China, which has been buiit on foundation of ?ad ?91301?: by the Mexican people. espouse, but for a to our long-tern lex internal situation in China. of the political leadership This is not the ties for an emotional reasoned, careful action that takes into account bo interests and recognition of comp There clearly is turmoil within the ranks as veil as the People's Liberation Army. And now is the tine to look beyond the moment to important and enduring aspects of this vital relationship for the United States. Indeed. the budding of democracy, which we have seen in recent weeks, owes nnoh to relationship we have deveioped since 1972, and it's inportant at this time to act in a way that will encourage the further developnent-and deepening'ofvthe?positive elements of that relationship and the og,denocratisetion. ~It would be s.tregedy for all if China were to pull back to its pre-1972 era of ans repression. Xindfui of these complexities, and yet of the necessity ssnetion of the events of by strongly and clearly express our coed recent days, I an ordering the following actions: scepsnsion of all es and consercial exposes of weapons, governsent?to~governnent sai S. and Chinese military leaders, suspension of visits between B. ethetic review of requests by Chinese students in.?he93nited seam to extend their stay, and the offer at hwitarian and radical assistance through the Red Cross to that. injured during the assault, and xeview or other aspects of our bilateral relationship as events in China continue to unfold. she process or desecratization of conunnist societies 9111 not he a snooth one, and we ans: taunt to ao?bseke in a say which.st1nu1etes rather than stities progress toward,cpen.and representative systems. - - ?xoee And I'd be glad to take a few guestions before our Cabinet oeeting, which starts in a few minutes. Yes,ixr. President, you have said the genie of democracy cannot be put back in the bottle in China. You said that. ?Wm: before the actions of the past weekend. 2) you still believe that, and are there further steps that the United states further democracy in China? could take such as economic sanctions to I believe the szom: You, I still believe; that. forces at democracy are so powerful, and when you see then as recently as this earning .. a single station: standing in ?ront of a tank --: and than, I might add; Boeing tho tank driver exercise going to restraint, I on convinced that the forces of democracy are these unfortunate events in Monomer: Square. On the commercial side, I don't want to hurt the Chinese oomercial contacts have led in to be}. iove that the essence to this quest for more from. commercial incentive, whether it": in China or in other systems, the move to democracy becomes more inexorable. So what we have done is suspended ?certain things on the side, and my concern is with those in the military who are see some exercisioo restraint and see I think no need I think as people have people. I happen totalitarian military 213mg force. .?And yet, when I the b1 divisions that exist inside the pm, I an: 9 .to oove along the lines I've oo?cnood here. I think that it's important to keep sayintho those elements in tho chimes. nili?cary .- restraint -- oonth'mo to show t2 restraint that of you have shown. Ana I understand there are if? divisions in: do the bray. So this is -- we?re putting the mitosis on that side: XEROX W332 295 G3 9 President, could you give us your current .best assessment of the political situation there which leaders are up, which are dam, who apparently has prevailed here and who apparently has me: - . It?s too obscure; it's too beclouded to g? . 88?. and I - li?xi' I Mt! ionind You of the hicwry. In the ??lmed. Revolution days, Deng Xiaoping at Mao Tao-Mg?o right hand .4: pat out. He me back. In 1976 he. was put out again in the hat days of Hao 930-th and the days of the Gang oi! Pour. Then he cai'? hack in and to his credit he moved China towards openness; towards (Mooney, towards reform. And suddenly we see a reversal. ?me don?t think there's anybody in this Emery that can answer your question with authority this point. It doesn't work that way in dueling with China. .. 1 But, President, there have been reports that other reports that he?s ailing and in a hospital. What do you know about that, air? panorama: Bon't know for sure on eithex. And I?ve talked to our Ambassa?ox on that, as I say, last night, am we just can't confirm mosey or amigo; on the other. 9 15:. President, room at tho nee: for the ms. to maintain relations with China, but given the brutality at the attack: overthelatoouphofdays, anthems. maroon-atom? usual with the current regime? I don?t want to see a total break in this . ".elationship end I will not encourage a tote} break in the ?Rehabs-P. -2?his relationship is - vhen you see these ki?s struggling for deeocraoy an? freedon, this would be a bad time for the United states to withdraw and pull back and leave thee to the devices of a. leadership that night decide to crack dovn further. I do -- em have suggested I take the Ambassador out. In my View, that would be 180 degrees wrong. .013 Ambassador provides one of the best listening posts we have in China. He is thoroughly experienced. And so let others make proposals that, in ?my View, don't make much sense. I went to see us stay involved we continue to work for restraint and for human rights and for democracy. And then down the road, we have enormous commonality of. interests with China, but. it 9111 not be the some made: a brutal one repressive regime. So 1 stop short' oi suggesting that that we ought to do is as farce): relations with amino, and I would like to encourage those to :?ontinue their change. 242?. Bush, you're sending a message to the oilitery and to the governeent. A couple or weeks ago, you told the students to continue to stand by their beliefs. that message 51o you want the students to hear free what you're saying right now? me 9328mm: what we support their quest for doeocrecy, to: reform and for freedom, and there should be no ?oubt about that. And then, in sending this engage to the military, I would enema-age the: to go back to the posture of a tow days ego that did show restraint and that did recognize the rights oi the people and that did epitoaize that that Chinese leader told no, that the my loves the people. There are still vivid canopies of that. Should the students go hm? Should the students stop trying on am one Any? f, m'mm: mu: dictate to the meant. oi.? they {would do tron helm: around the world. not we support the We Ito: Moran? and return. and I'd jut have that. 231:. T83 PRESIDEHT: think they-ere in the sense of :ontradiotion themselves right now. China has historically been less :hen totally interested in what other countries think of their oerfomence. You have to just look back to the Kiddie Kingdom and you 1603: back in history when outsiders, including the inited States, were viewed as "barbarians.? 80 historically, China, with its imenee pride and its cultural background and its enormous history at con?ict, internal and external, has been fairly independent in setting its course. I have had the feeling that China wants to be a more acceptable 3-- acceptebie in the family of nation, and I think any observer?would agree that, indeed, until very recent events, they've mud in that direction. So what I would like to do is encourage than to move further in that direction by recognizing the rights of young people and by rebnking any use of. force. 0- Hr. President, more than most Americans,- you understand the Chinese. How do you account for the excessive violence of this resyonse? Once the Army decided to act, that they would drive armored personnel carriers em walls of people - how can you explain that? eagerness: I really can't. it is very hard to, amino, because there was that restraint that was properly being showed to: a while on the part of the military, chance to come in and restore what: sure they'd been told order to' 2213124101: which I expect they had been told we: enmhietic. And so I can't explain it. I can?t ?plain it unless they were under: orders .. and than you get into the argument about, well, whet orders do you ?01109? And so I condense it: I don't try to explain it. andfhaxiz'ugo pemtuny. Sorry. about you gay: bars: there. - . will you, Mr. mutant, be able to accumulate the '19 none .5- die from Congress for tougher sanctions? Many lawmakers felt you are slow to contiemn or criticize the violence in China before now 1d many are pushing for much tougher action on the part cot-this buntry. THE PRESIDENT: I've told you what I?m going to do. I?m, he President. - I set the foreign policy objectiv 3's and actions taker :y the Executive Branch. I think they know -- most of then on Iongree?e -- that I have not only a keen peraonei' interest in China, mt that I understand it reasonably well. I will just reiterate to :he leaders this afternoon my conviction that this is not a time for anything other than a prudent, reasoned response; And it is a time to assert over and over again our commitment to denooreoy, emphasize the strength that we give to oemooraoy in situations of this nature. And I come back to the frontline question here -- I do think this ,chanqe is inexorable. It may go a couple of step: forward and than take a step back, but it is on the nova. The genie will not be put back in the bottle. And so I an tryingto take steps that will encourage a peaceful change, and yet recognize the tact that coma does have greet pride in its own history. Ami 3y recommendations are based on my knowledge of Chinese history. - So I would argue with thou who want to do some are ?amboyant because I happen to rod that this relationship is to the United sumo: Auction. Ami so is our names to democracy and our mungeaent for those who are willing to hold high the banner of dmcracy. 30 V8 found, I think. a prudent goth here. .. - . . .hnling effect on amtio meow; Mowing in other minis}; commode: particularly in the Sov at out! Europe, when: my look'at the kind of uprising that sparked in came .. wrv? Pesszom: Re. I think the moves that we're seeing 12: Eastern Europe today and, indeed, in the Soviet Union are going to go forward. And I think people are watching more with horror and eaymg 310?: given this movement towards deeocracy, can the Chinese leadership react in the way they have? And no I think this my be a sign to others around the world that people are heroic when itnconos to their commitment to democratic change. Ami I would just urge the Chinese leaders to recognize that. Mr. President, there are reports that the Chinese ui;itary is badly divided and that. with this crackdown: the authorities brought in some trooye free the Tibet conflict. If" that's the case, how does suspending our these military relationships .encourege any kind of change? I mean, could You explain my the point of doing that is -- - 9335mm: .1 already em, David. ion missed it. I explained it because I want to keep it.on the military side. I've 'preoeed bore rhetorical}: tho indignation we fool. I've recognized {is history or China moving into its own maze Kingdom as it?s done in various times in its poet, and I went to encourage 1'55 things that have helped the And I. think?n'oe the suspension is going to send a strong signal. not saying it?s going to care the short-range problee in China. I'm not sure any outside country can cure the short-Tango, the today in Thrower: Square problem. But I think it is very important the Chinese leadexs know it's not going to be business as usual, fund I think it?s important. that the Amy know that we want to see restraint. And this is the best way to signal that. 0 would you ?0.33: bonfiict? You talked. about tho Do you or you: advisers too: that division: within the Chinese Aray. there could actually be a civil conzlict?betwoon Army'oonnendera? TEE PRESIDEHT: ?ail, I don't want to speculato on that, but: than are ditterencea, clearly, within the Amy in tom of of force. Otherwise, they won?t be doing me David Rotten properly pointed out to hem-sepia: - unlts casing 53;: tm auction. f7 And it is not, incidentally; just in Tianannson Square that. the Chinese -- that this problem exists. It is in Shanghai; it?s in Chengdu today: it's in Guangzhou, I?m told, in a much mailer scale. But they brought; the troops in fros outside because the Beijing troops apparently demonstrated a great sensitivity to the cause of - -. . I tn. opted the young people and were disciplined though they so go? a; our! eople tor the side 0: domecracy and @9399 in ?3 3' 9. '01, something otbexo as i . But I certain}. don't want to spoculate a -- put 3.1: that ?hat I don?t have. -- I can't reach that conclusion lay. ?rhere were eons news reports that some}? the soldiers? units had burned their own trucks in -- have you received the same type of intelligence reports? THE PRESIDERT: I think I?just saw Speculation., I havendon't believe thav intelligence said that. But there are reports that it in vary di?ticult to: some 01' tho military, Who are much more oynpathatic to tho toga-mass, to the again. go back to the original quostion here dwamtratora. And I, that aslfed. I think, with the change that's taken place so for we're beyond kind of a Cultural Rwolution reopen?. I think the depth of the feeling towar?s democracy is 1: great that you can't put the genie back in the bottle and return t: total to ?ssion.?

However, he was not all that lucky because shortiy after he assumed the office of the Presidency turmoil broke out in China. This was an event and it is very unfortunate that the United States is too deeply involved in it. In my address to the Chinese at the army level andabove, the cadre of national troops, I mentioned the macro international climate. I was actually referring to the United States involvement in the events in China. We have been feeling since the outset or these events more than two months ago that the various aspects of 8. 3. foreign policy has actually cornered China. That's the feeling of us in China. because the aim of the counter-revolutionary rebellion was to overthrow the People's Republic of China and ou21~?. If they should succeed in obtaining that aim To be frank, this could even socialist sy3tem. the world would be a different one.

In Short, if a country should formulate its policy and handle international relations on the pasis of rum?cs this government itself would suffer a great deal. a: least one can say that the U. S. Congress has taken actions of one kind or another against China on the basis of such rumors. Indeed, Sino~ US relations are in a very delicate state and you can even say that it is in a very dangerous state. Such actions are leading to the break up of the relationship. On our part we so far have not seen any relaxing of such actions on the part of the U. In fact, the 0.8. stepped up actions just three days ago when the House of Representatives passed an amendment on further sanctions against China. So, such actions are still going on. ?ortunateiy there are still people -- some people among the leadership or our two nations who have adopted a rather cool-headed attitude. For example, President Bush on your side. me, myself, and other Chinese leaders have adopted a cool-headed attitu?e toward the. handling of Sincevs relations. I mean tresident Bush -- the fact that he has sent you, Mr. Scowcrott, as his emissary shows that he has taken a wise and cool~headed action -- an action well It seems that there is still hope to maintain received by us.

It is my hope that both sides all; adopt an objective and an honest attitude towards the counter- revolutionary rebellion. Only in this way can both sides find a feasible way and method to settle problems arising from the two countries attitudes towards the rebellion. The cause of the issues between China and the voiced States on this question is not because China has offended or impugned U. S. interests even in the least way. The question is that on a considerably large scale the united States has impugned Chinese interests. has hurt Chinese dignity. That is the crux of the matter. With regard to how to resolve this issue there is a Chinese proverb -- the person to tie the knot to untie the knot. Our hope is that in its future course of action the United States will seek to antic the knot. The incidents in the united States, be it the O. 8. Congress or the mass media, should no longer edituel to the tire. China has not finished the handling of the putting down of the counter~ revolutionary loaders.

With regard to the train incident in Shanghai we executed three persons -- criminals who burned an entire train in Shanghai and this incident was a loss to the'state. nowever. even this kind of punishment could lead to trouble -- could lead to accusations from some people. How can one talk about justice, let alone the dignity of Chinese law and its sovereignty? I would like to tell you, Mr. Scovcroft, we will never allow any people to interfere in China?s internal affairs. No matter what are the consequences in China. we insist on managing the internal affairs of China by ourselves. disaster should fall upon us, the Chinese people will be able to China can say proudly that the Chinese No matter what kind of hold themselves up. leaders have never said anything or done anything irrationally in terms of handling our bilateral relations with another country and there will never be such rashness in the future. However, when China?s sovereignty, dignity and independence are in question then China will not since its words. Maybe I have gone on too long on this issue between China and the United States. It was not my original plan to come and discuss it with people from the malted States, . but since you Scowcroft, have come here as an em issary of the President I wanted to see you otherwise it would be discourteous. Just now I have told you my personal feelings on this matter and I hope you will convey my feelings to my friend, President Bush. Please convey the following to President Bush that no matter what sdould be the outcome of the discussions between our two governments on this issue if he wouid continue to treat me as his friend I would also like to do that. As regards our further discussion on this issue, the person who is in charge of discussions on the part of China is Premier 3: Peng. It is a matter up to him to decide whether in the future he would like to hold such discussions with emissaries of the American side himself or if he would like to have a designee on China's side. - Than you very much, Mr. Chairman. You have expressed very well the reason that we are here is a true friend, a true friend of you and 0? China He is chairman_?sna He cycled around Beijing. It is for that reason that he wrote you recently a very personal letter which he wrote with his own hand. it is for that reason that he asked us to come here. We are deeply appreciative of your willingness to receive us this way. i understand what a rare privilege it is and for that reason, to conserve your time, I have written out the aessage I bring from The words are mine but the thoughts are wholly the President. those of the President. You and China could have no better friend then George Bush. important a productive and friendly relationship built up over my years of patient effort in both Beijing and Nashington is As you have just stated, He knows free personal experience how and has been for the world as a whole. today he sees the possibility that our two countries, because of internal development: in both nations could.nove toward a time of disturbance beyond sum we hove encountered since Resident - ?grate thee. and.hs Nixon first. ,5 39332; i. 1mm" f?ig?gfhas sent us here in the hope that these two acts would begin a process Of finding a way to reverse the current negative trends ubich 80 disturb him.

I see him 5-6 times a day and I see his pre- occupation With the Problem between our two countries. We both served in the Nixon Administration. as have both been for zany years close associates of Henry Kissinger. I am the oldest friend of China still in the United States Government. I believe you all know the depth of my feeling for China, and for the relationship. And our presence here after a trip of many thousands of kilometers, in confidence so as not to imply anything but an attempt to communicate, is s3mbolic of the importance President Bush places on this relationship and the efforts he is prepared to take to preserve it. Our two countries have made much progress since the Shanghai Communique first set us on a new course. we represent two different cultures and backgrounds, perceptions. Through diligent work on both sides we have managed LO reconcile or accommodate differences arising from the very wide disparity in traditions, cultures and econasic and political outlooks. 1.4 . . a The haw. been the= a i re upe 9; ch. whole it has been a steadi? deepening one . . .ot only because 3 nded to it re p0 the asic interests of both sides, but because we respect the diversity between our two societies.

We have benefitted economically as "911' The public Perceptions of the strength and durability of our relationship have given economic interests the world over not just in the United States confidence to invest in the PRC. thereby contributing greatly to the economic development goals of the Chinese Government. Our bilateral trade has grown from almost nothing to over $10 billion a year. American industry has invested heavily in China and has plans for further investment in the future. 0n the human level, we have also benefitted. Thousands of Chinese students have studied in the United States and brought back with them to China knowledge of ?esters technology, methods of industrial organization and production techniques that have served, and will serve-10v? years 50 00m? ?10 improve the economic well-being of the Chinese people. Mei-?13? tourists have travelled in ever~increasing numbers to China, bringing with them millions o! tourist dollars and taking home a greater appreciation of the warmth and friendship of the Chinese People and the incredible richness of Chinese culture. The latest mm develop-ant of this relationship assorted only a months ago with the visit of Presidmt test . ?41-.o1 ?ux? ?44 ovum? g: to ?ne {avg-um: :3 Republic.

As hav 3 dBVElOped so has our admiratitn for the Chinese people and the efforts of the Chinese Government to encourage 'people have st chose tie economic reform grow'increasingly strong. Americans have ever more strongly identified themselves with the progress they saw taking place in China. It 15 onto this bilateral climate of deepening cooperation and growing sympathy that the events of Tlananmen Square have imposed themselves. What the American peOple perceived in the demonstrations they saw or wrongly -- was an expression of values which represent their most deeply cherished beliefs, stemming from the American retolution. We, like you, were born in revolution. We, like you, hold deeply to the tenets of our own struggle for independence. Our whole national experience, beginning with our revolution, has been a struggle to expand.the boundaries of freedos as we define that term. we fought our revolution to establish freedon of speech, freedom to assenble, tron arbitrary authority.

It is an obvious fact that Chinese actions in Pursuit of solutions to the :ecent problems of wholly internal concern in the People's Republic have produced a. popular reaction that is based on and reflects our own beliefs and traditions. It has therefore produced its own internal reaction which is real and with which the President must cope. That is the crux o: the problem President Bush now faces. The President shares the feelings of the America: people with regard to the recent events in China, but he also believes very @3915! in preserving the relationship between our two countries. ?e wants to manage events in a way which will assure a healthy relationship over time.

The President opposed that action. Despite his 0 pp Sition the vote was an almost unprecedented ?318-0. Toe Presi I dent will continue to Oppose such legislation but the magnitude of the vote illustrates the political realities with which he must cope. Even his veto authority is powerless against: such unanimity . The President is very sensitive to Chinese concerns regarding the actions he must take to preserve control over the course at events in the United States, but he is not omnipotent in his ability to control such events. The President's ability to 'corztrol events in the United States would, beyond a doubt, be strengthened were the Chinese likewise to try to be sensitiv as you proceed over the coming days and weeks to the reality that what you will-have a major impact on opinion in the United States and throughout the Western world. a have not come here with any detailed set of prescriptions to guide us through the current difficulties.

That's the message from a true friend of the Chinese Government and the people of China W- I don't have much time to elabora.e on the points. I just hope that United States statesmen and people'will understand one point. I think that one must understand history: ?We have won the victory represented by the founding of the People?s Republic of China by fighting a 22-year war with the cost of more than 20 million lives, a war fought by the Chinese people under the leadership of the Communist rarty; and it one Should add the three-year war to assist Korea aga.nst U. s. aggression then it would be a 25-year effort. The second thing is that people must come to understand that China is an independent country which means no interference by foreigners. And China is not a country to be directed.by the backing of another country no matter what kind of difficulties should crop up in our way. China will be able to overcome them. There is no force whatsoever which can substitute for the Perple?s Republic or China represented by the Communist Party of China. this is not an empty word. It is something which has been proven and tested over a period of several decades of experience. We always hope that the five principles ot?peaceful coexistence will be observed in dealings with China, equal non? intortorence in each other's internal affairs. So long as these eng. Let: me restate my greetings to Mr. Chairman, I thank you sincerely for being willing to receive us and listen to'the Presidmt's thought: - 3. 8e asked me to convey to you his sincere and newest personal regards and he hopes that we can overcome the difficulties and proceed with deepening reiations between our two countries - That is also a hope of ours. July 21, 1989 Dear Chairman Deng, Dear Friend: I use this unique form of salutation because General Scovcroft told me that if I would continue to treat you as a friend, you would welcome that no matter the outcome of the difficulties now between us. or course, I, too, want it to be that way. First, let me thank you and Li Peng for receiving General Scovcroft and Larry Eagleburger. The minute General Scovcroft returned to the USA, he came to Heine to brief me on your talks. I have waited to send you this letter. I wanted first to go to Eastern Europe and the Economic Summit Conference at Paris, because I wanted to listen carefully to their views on their relations with China. .Also, in waiting, I was hoping against hope that some new development would take place that would enable us both to move towards improved relations. Unfortunately, no such development has occurred. The 6-7 Communique in Paris made reference to events in China. 2 can tell you in total confidence that the U. S. and the Japanese removed.sooe rather inflammatory language from the Communique. It was still a Communique which I'n.sure you'd rather not have had at all, but in the final form it did not urge new action affecting ChinaLkiv? . . .. u? ?erein lies our major dilemma. You feel we tied the knot? by our actions, especially regarding military sales. We feel that those actions taken against Peacefully demonstrating (non-violent) students and the nationwide crackdown against those simply speaking for reform "tied the knot." Please understand, my friend, that when I use the word ?we" in the preceding sentence, I am not simply referring to the United States. Rather, I am referring to many, many countries from North and South, East and West. Let me emphasize, if there is anyone on the world Stage who understands how China views interference in its internal affairs, it is I. Likewise, I could indeed identify with the problems China?s government faced when, as Li Peng told General Scovcroft, it felt that Zhongnanhai itself might be invaded or overrun. Li Peng pointedly asked General Scowcroft how we would feel if the white House were threatened by a mob out of control. But here's the big problem. Given the 311* penetrating (but not comprehensive) nature of television, peOple all around the world first saw massive but peaceful demonstrations, ?peacefully contained. ?With ayproval and respect, they saw Chinese leaders meeting with the students. They heard authoritative voices saying, ?The Army loves the People:' and they saw soldiers showing amazing restraint. And people around the world.ssluted.China and its leaders. . It is what happened seat that we believe "tied the knot.? You and Li Peng frankly described that you thought happened to the Character of the demonstrations a nd wh do. But peep at you felt you had to 19 all around the world with their own eyes saw 0t . I which hag her happenings, too. and China, been rais criticized, ed for restraint, was widely I have great respect for China's long-standing position about non-intervention in its internal affairs. Because of that, I also understand that I risk straining our friendship when I make suggestions as to what might be done now. But the China relationship, which we have both worked so hard to strengthen, demands the candor with which only a friend can speak. If some way can be found to close the chapter on the students whose actions were those of peaceful demonstrators, that would help enormously. General Scowcroft reported to me that many or those arrested were common criminals, repeat offenders. I am not talking about these people. If forgiveness could be granted to the students and, yes, to their teachers, this would go a long way to restoring worldwide coniidence. Such a move could well lead to improved relations with many countries. For example, it would give me the opportunity to make a statement supporting your decision. .Also, it it would be helpful to China, I could then publicly dispatch a high-level emissary to Beijing thus signalling to the world that our country was prepared to work our way back towards more nornsl relations. ri tl or wrongly, it was the students zggtureg?tn: imagination of so aany'people srdund.ths ?orid.

We never doubted that the studs our COuntry, ?t8; even in dissent, truly loved Perhaps the difference 3 in our systems are so great that you will find the above analogy rre evant. I hope not. But of this I feel certain: the Chinese students who have spoken out truly love China. I am.drafting this letter to you from 37,000 feet in the air on my way back to the USA from Poland, Hungary, France and the Retherlands. Talk of economic reform is everywhere in Poland and Hungary. Others are finding, as China has, that incentive works, that joint ventures are good, and that standards of living can be improved through economic reform. I hope you still feel that economic contacts 'with the west are good. In spite of a U. 5. Congress that continues to try to compel me to cut off economic ties with China, I will continue to do my best to keep the boat from rocking too much. Please understand that this letter has been personally written, and is coming to you from one who wants to see us go forward together. Please do not be angry with no if I have crossed the invisible threshold lying between constructive suggestion and ?internal interference.? ?hen we last net, you told as you had tutned more day~to~day matters over to others; but 1 closeness and ?t Of respect Yes, friendship :12: it all been up and down.

"fragile,? and hard to predict. The purpose of this memorandum is to point out that the situation is more volatile and dangerous than even these characterizations suggest. Having suppressed the uprising in Beijing. Deng got a grip on his temper and moved to stes the political damage to himself, trying to restore a balance of reformers and conservatives in the Politburo. In doing so, Deng toiled the expectations of Li Peng and others to be rewarded with higher positions. Their resentment, including that of rang Shangkun, who has not moved up either, is the source of the danger. For these men, and for those close to them who are viewed within China?s elites as having the blood of Tiananmen on their hands.

But we need.to remind ourselves that, for the people at the center in Beijing today, the stakes are extremely high. Release of these pent-up pressures will not come through POlitical coupromise and accommodation, and may be triggered in a scramble for military support after Deng's passing. The broad course of Chinese foreign policy is set by objective circumstances. We have seen evidence of this since the beginning of Sine-OS relations. Nevertheless, things could get very much worse tor our relationship within that broad course. Already the Soviets appear to enjoy a better dayeto-day relationship than we do, and this is not healthy. Li Peng and many conservative leaders have a.so set themselves apart from Deng in the harshness of their rhetoric against the United States and in their willingness to lean toward the Soviet Union. Yang Shangkun has not joined them in this, and in the long run reliance on the USSR is not a viable option. But in short term, increased xenophobia and self~reliance, coupled with teints toward unseen, are a real possibility should this group gain the upper hand.

Last night at the white House, former President Nixon debriefed me and some of my top associates on his visit to China. He appreciated the manner in which he was received there. My personal view is that his visit to China was helpful. I scheduled this meeting immediately upon his return from China, hoping that this will signal to you, to the people here at home, and to the rest of the world that I want to find a way to work out the major difficulties that have darkened our relationship. I will be carefully considering everything Mt. Nixon told me. New, for a different subject. Soon I will be meeting President Gorbachev at a non-Summit meeting, in other words at a meeting without a set agenda. Though our relations with the Soviet union are more free of tensions than at times past, enormous problems still remain. At a time of rapidly moving events in many areas of the world, this nesting is designed, not to reach major decisions. but to reduce the chances of misunderstandings on issues of significance. I want to assure you that nothing will take place at this meeting that will be detrimental to China's interests. view the geo~politicai reasons that ;:G:;ted Nixon to case to China in the re still valid.

If, prior to the US-Soviet meeting you have any conc erns or thoughts to conve to me I ?would welcome hearing from you. I On the broader subject that is a constant concern to me, how to normalize relations between us, I will continue to try to find some answers. With respect, I hepe China will try to do the same. In this regard, I think the discussions that you had with President Nixon and with the physicist, Dr. Tsung-Dao Lee, were extremely helpful. On October 26, it was a pleasure to receive your able new Ambassador a few days after he arrived and hg?gzg_formal presentations of credentials. By receiving him in this manner, I wanted you to know that I remain personally involved in emphasizing the importance I ascribe to our relationship and in trying to resolve our differences. tfull Respec y, ?oat sincerely: 475% can; 1:333:21? :81 ?rum m. emiat.a..4ixe?b11? ?5m?

Nixon is worried that our current policies are isolating the Chinese leadership tron people who should be telling them what they need to hear and that the 05 would probably need to take the first step in beginning the path back on the relationship. Nixon was adamant, however, that such a step should not be taken without having agreed upon a sequence so that any step that the as night take by agreenent would result in a reciprocal step by the Chinese.

General Soowcroft, you ara an old friasd very familiar to us all. Over the years, you have contributed a great deal to removing obstacle to Sino-U.s. relations and promoting their development by having visited China several times at the critical moments of the development of those relations. The fact that President Bush has sent you to China this time as his Personal Emissary to brief Chinese leaders on the recent O.S.~Soviot summit and to exchange views with on issues of Sino-U.s. relations shows the importance he attaches to thoss relations, for which ?a would like to express our appreciation.

I would say vig?t ggsitive in the se that all sides understa ea 5 dcaeetic that have to be worked out and we need.to work to take reciprocal gestures in order to restore the relationship and that our general vies or the world.1n a.broad sense and of recent developments is parallel. the need to react to a changing world is understood.

We would be interested in your View of the visit. In spite of our differences both sides agree that we have common interest. So this visit has served to enhance and deepen the common desire to return our relations to normal. Both sides agree that Sine-0.5. relations are of vital importance to world stability. 50 I think we share similar View of that issue. - He do indeed. Now all we have to do is overcome the differences. 9 Mr. Untermeyer, what did you accomplish while we were working? gu4_yn;ermegerzf Improved the Chinese economy by spending money. r? 7:364. - I consider it is very inportant in the world'that we resume discussion on sending loans to China. I do recali that Secretary of State Baker said the American side would take some measures. In a technical sense both the world Bank and IMF have indicated their operations are free of political consideration. I think it is difficult for their operation to be completely immune to political considerations. It is almost the same as saying the weather should not affect relations, but, in fact, the weather in the Port of Malta did affect the relations because they had to cancel a meeting. - It proves there is a power higher than the President of the United States and.Chairnan Gorbachev. while I might think that. I an not trying to impose it on you. . Gorbachev said.then those warships served no purpose and.they should be destroyed.

Mm ., gr: - - - ?10 .ambaasador_Lillex: In terms of the World Bank they have 3ust conducted a mission here. They have done research and I have read their report on their visit here. Althougn political situations do affect the situation like in terms of the weather I think they are concerned that there may be, although you said otherwise, some concrete evidence that you are going the other way. It is important that it not become politicized. 0f great concern is we are not jumping to any conclusions but we have to work with preliminary indicators in.cases like this. And this affects the decision on World Bank and we have been examining it already. China's reforms will continue. No doubt about it, but it must be a gradual process under the prevailing economic conditions. The biggest challenge is such a large population. 80 right now we have to try to bring down the inflation rate and stabilize. Although the rating of China has been lowered somewhat on the Japanese market, China will have no trouble in repaying. The total foreign debt of China is the same as that of Poland. Yet we have (slouch larger export: than Poland. So I think the 0.5. will face much less of a problem when they come to invest in China than they do in Poland. . The v.5. has more money invested in China than any other country in the world. One of the reasons we suggested a brief meeting after lunch is that, while we do not have?answer to your package, it is important to have some preliminary discussion as to needs and how we sue it developing so we lose no time in how we deal with things. . That is to say)after the lunch we will have a short visit. Hr. Gian is one of the foremost ex Soviets. pert: on? General_?cesorn?t; Yes.

But of late he seems to have gradually developed more of a pattern for political reforms. Many use political reforms as a means of removing those who hold opposing viegs. Then the Eastern European countries are adopting the same attitude on a much larger scale. In the Soviet Union they are used to seeing a hundred members of the Committee resign. Now you have in Eastern Burope the entire membership resigning. Some problems are being resolved while differences remain. Another problem to resolve is the reduction of troops along the border. - Troops along the border within a certain scope. So in this regard we are starting first by talking about general principles. We will have to make it clear that we will have to avoid deployment along the border so as to avoid border clashes. we have not decided as yet as to the scope of such areas to be demilitarized, whether it should be on each side or 200.

Before we leave I want. to establish a few points on where we will go next. As the diplomat on this trip, let me be undiplomatic. my impression is that you and we are are engaged in a kabuki dance. rou say, and we aCCept, that there has to be movement on our side before you can wove. we say to you, and are sincere, that there has to be movement on your side. We are now circling each other, each waiting to: the other to move. There is no purpose served arguing over who moves first. Prom aux side, we are faced with the realities 0: dates on which decisions must be made. The first decision we must make will be on December 15, on the agreement to satellite inunchings. Congress returns on.JznuarY 23. Certainly when they come back, assuming no covenant, th? 961031 3111 and ?hetero: other kegislation they decide-will -. -l?e we hale ?03 given you our rinal word on the cackage you gave us yesterday, I can tell you now that it will not work as now structured. All of us on the American side agree it will no dork, largely because the linkage between sanctions and the release of Fang Lizhi is so direct that at home we politically cannot manage 1t. Let me emphasize that this is not the official government response, but General Scowcroft and I agree that when we get tee: to Washington and get together to formulate a detailed response, we will have to say the same thing to you. We will pull a small group together. We will get a counterproposal to you by the end of the week, and hopefully give it to your ambassador. Without describing what the details of the package will include, I can indicate that they will include such issues as martial law, the release of Fang lehi, World Bank loans, and the sanctions. We will try to find how to fit all these pieces into that package. I would like to make one specific point on Fang Lizhi. One proposal we will make will include that, because from our view his release will have the greatest impact of all the actions you might take and will make the rest of the package easier to do. We may also give you a second proposal which lees not deal with this issue. If it is difficult to do the'other things, we are prepared to set the issue of Pang aside, and after the in our relations improves, we will be prepared to come back to that issue. Again, we will examine your proposal back in Washington. ?ang Lizhi is not necessarily the slas_sna_aen.to improving the atmosphere and undoing the damage collectively done over the last months. with regard to who goes first. there is no need to.hgvg an argument, but from the Washington Perspective, we have taken steps already, not least that we are here already. si veto you may ?the satis?ed with sheer-935mg; Sgciggtoloaut it as: poltically costly {or his, and it will he so when we go back.

At a minimum we will not be able to improve the atmosphere as we say we want. feel On the issue of the satellite launch. we face a decision date, December 15. I am not making a linkage, but we have to tell you that we have informtion, which some members of Congres have access to, that there are some lower level Chinese officials who are talking or sales of ballistic missiles, particularly to the Middle East. we do not question the statement of your Foreign Ministry spokesman on November 23, but some in tse Congress will doubt it. It will be much easier on December 15, it we have a reaffirmation of the November 23 statement, plus some indication that missiles will not be sold to regions of particular instability. ?E'ao not expeCt an answer now, but will need it by December 15. Let me make two points. We are anxious with regard to the atmosphere to make some small moves on each side. even before we get the package response to you by the and or next week. we are looking for small steps to convince the Chinese people that it is wise to begin the process or improving relations and to help us I would like to leave a couple of ideas with with the Congress. you, For example, just for example, if your side could.possibly stop jamming VOA or permit a VGA correspondent to come to China, in an unconnected fashion; we could remove the travel advisorv. Perhaps these are not the specific steps, but that we are searching for are beginnings in these next days before Congress returns. They are steps both sides can take without one or the other looking like one prevailing over the other. This will help with military sales, the banks. and convince the American and Chinese public: that it is wise to nave in this direction.Ia.l we would like ggest far your consideration, for Ambassaaor 1 3 30d: designee to work out details on when and how the Fangs may leav e. ?t appears all of us agree on the need to solve this issue. to adree theufgtahy Of: the re??rdv and ad reierendsm: we need a 0th of us want to see his release to your package and the Washington as t.at can be done here or to your ambassador :n insist on it ?::U:Fefe?o ?We would prefer Washingtonaccomplish, 9 3 an effort we 30-ntly ?ant to Mr. Minister, in the we have the trad' . . - . ition cf the 90?6 COP and the bad cop. You have had a full day of the good copy and only fifteen minutes of the bad cop. I would like to add one thing, if I may. Whatever we do on Fang Lizhi will help to improve the atmosphere on a broad range of issues. Vice Minister Liu Huaqiu has helped three get out already, and can do the talks. That is if we are prepared to settle the issueone side, that is another matter. One other matter that might be raised with Ambassador Zhu, that is to move to eliminate artificial constraints on the embassies, for example, the military attaches at our embassy are not permited to join attache trips. Resolving this would.help to move our atmosphere along. . I think, Mr.$ecretary Eagleburger, that I understand your remarks are not a response, and that you will week as a counterproposal.

The President also wanted to take this step to underscore his strong personal interest in putting our relationship back on a positive track away from the negativisn of recent months. In doing this and in his recent action of. vetoing the Pelosi Bill, be has undertaken some considerable political risks to ninself. The initial report: in the United States of the announcement of our trip here has aroused strong negative press conments in some I cite this simply to explain that the 9resident circles. definitely does want to move forward on our relationship but there are significant impediments in the United States.

His original notion of the timing for a us-Soviet Summit. was after the comletion o: the various negotiations we have underway on different aspects of arms control and different elements in our bilateral relationship. After his visit to Poland. and Hungary last summer, however, he came to the conclusion that there were very tundanental, very important and accelerating aovezaents taking place in that area and that it was important to di scuss those trends and developments in Eastern Europe at the point of convergence of US and Soviet forces the neetin was designed not to negotiate specific issues, not to come agreements, or issue commiques. but simply to nan views 0 xc 9e :2 developments taking place in the world and on the possible cons equeuces of those maents in order that there not be aisun derstandiogs between the two leaders At the . meeting t: txo a greed to try to mutate mistinne m. 9 zed account. Because time is so short today i will touch on several issues. I can fully understand ??"3he tact that President Bush has sent Your Excel iency to and aiso that some of his previous measures are aimed at ingravinq the current Sine relations. I can also under tand another point that Struck me -- that President Bush was now in a rather difficult position. of the relationship between Congressional with my background I have some American?ML I don't say that I have a full grasp acrivities and power of the Presidency but I think, understanding of this because I began to receive a British style education when I was a young student. First of all I want to say that both sides are now proceeding in their own interests, as was the case when President Nixon came here on his first visit to reestablish Sinofrelations. I am especially aware of the teat that you came here with the advance team in 1972 and together with President Nixon. Events have come Z?ax?kci a long way since 1972 and at that time our leader Ghee-anusai was still alive and he had a very important principle: to find canon interest or a Chinese saying that we should find the common ground while reserving minor diiterences. Just now you have brie?fie on your views or international developments and also on mosaics nearing hem. Presidents such and Chairman Gorbachev. ?tumimcmm mines 10 reminds me of some remarks which are quite ff"' -$ualu ?gz~ . .gory oevtnree Kingdoms that under the sun everythinc 2 am not time of unity they will certainly be separated. saying this is so but that the world situation is in constart I think both China and the United State -: are committed to ziux. peace in the world and I think we can both agree on two ma3ox themes: peace and development. The second point is that in the Asia-Pacific region our two onntries share several common points. In terms of economic development in the future, this Asia-Pacific area will develop very rapidly in the years to come. So we share a common interest. The third point is China is a country with 1.1 billion people; 4 therefore come what may China will develop more trade potential rah and this will provide us for a number of opportunities in 6634:? 6" Ever since 1972 when China and the United States future narket.? issued the Joint tShanghai Connonique,1 can't say there have been I no differences between us.

Some 0: sy classmates are now working in Taiwan 1n some rather high posts. Secondly. there is a question of ideology. Your being a capitalist country and our being a socialist countr?zbut I don?t think this should constitute an obstacle because we have always stood for the five principles of peaceful coexistence. Ideological differences should not lead to any obstacles to our relations. when Mr. Nixon came last tioe he said that he found it quite different to understand how China can W) WW hmjd? we 4? ?hwf a bluadxm, widows?

So I think after . have explained the above Points I believe that our two sides can - find many common interests in the current turbulent situation. think we should adopt a forward-looking approach with a sincere desire to work for common interests.
