China pushes for October summit with Clinton
The Associated Press
BELIING — President Clinton hopes to meet Chinese President Jiang Zemin in the United States in October to try to improve badly damaged relations, a top U.S. State Department official said yesterday.
China's government has been pushing for a Clinton-Jiang summit, especially since the White House in May allowed the president of Taiwan, Beijing's rival, to the United States.
Relations continued to deteriorate in late June when Chinese authorities detained Harry Wu, a
China-born, naturalized U.S. citizen who has worked to uncover abuses in Chinese labor camps.
Undersecretary of State Peter Tarnoff, the highest-level official to travel to Beijing since the May fallout, said yesterday that both sides agreed to start preparing an agenda for a possible summit in late October.
Secretary of State Warren Christopher and Vice Premier and Foreign Minister Qian Qichen will meet at the United Nations in September as part of the preparations.
"We agreed that both sides would begin to prepare thoroughly for such a meeting, making every
effort to discuss frankly and in a constructive spirit a wide variety of issues of concern," Tarnoff told reporters at a news conference.
But U.S. Embassy representative Robert Laing later insisted a final decision on the meeting had not been reached.
Washington and Beijing repeatedly have differed, not only over Taiwan but also over trade, human rights, arms control and nuclear proliferation.
Jiang plans to be in New York in October for the annual U.N. General Assembly debate, but Chinese officials are believed to be eager for a Washington meeting, something Taiwan President Lee Tenghui was denied.
Tarnoff and U.S. Embassy officials refused to characterize a Clinton-Jiang meeting as a favor in return for China's expulsion of Wu on Thursday after a one-day trial for spying.
"This relationship is as important to them as it is to us," Tarnoff said about his two days of meetings with Chinese officials. "We have too much at stake in both China and the United States to neglect this relationship and try to isolate each other."
Foreign Minister Qian also stressed the importance of blat-
eral ties, according to a report by the state-run Xinhua News Agency on his meeting yesterday with Tarnoff. The dispatch made no mention of a Clinton-Jiang meeting.
Qian repeated the Chinese government position that Taiwanese leaders should not be allowed to visit the United States.
Tarnoff said he stressed that any trips by top Taiwanese officials would be "private and unofficial."
China views Taiwan as a renegade province and has sought to keep its government diplomatically isolated.
In response to the visit of Taiwan's President Lee, China moved up a three-month military exercise along the coast across from Taiwan, held two rounds of missile tests in the waters north of the island and launched a barrage of scathing editorials attacking Lee and the United States.
Wu's deportation to San Francisco greatly improved the atmosphere for Tarnoff's talks.
The White House has praised the Chinese for removing an obstacle to better ties and announced that First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton would attend the U.N. international women's conference, which opens Sept. 4 in Beijing.
