E D I T O R I A L S Putting China First - Still
Investors Business Daily
Date: 7/26/99
By now, President Clinton has to be painfully aware that China's
leaders took him for a fool. While he feted them in the White
House, their moles mined our defense labs. Now China is
threatening Taiwan with a U.S.-designed bomb.
Only Clinton doesn't act like someone wronged, which raises even
more suspicion that the nation's commander in chief is somehow
personally indebted to a totalitarian - and clearly anti-American
- regime. He can no longer pretend that his concessions are in
''our national interest.''
Even after its plot to penetrate our military - not to mention
our elections - was exposed, China firebombed our embassy in
Beijing and held our ambassador hostage. Now it's turning away
our ships and planes in Hong Kong. And yet Clinton keeps heaping
benefits on the country.
Extending China's normal trading status with the U.S. last month
apparently wasn't good enough. Clinton's trade rep is working to
get China into the World Trade Organization.
Clinton is also trying to loosen controls on sending
supercomputers to countries that have resold them to China in the
past.
He's trying to gull the Senate into signing a treaty to stop the
U.S. from ever building and testing another nuclear weapon. China
doesn't care about a global test ban, now that it has our nuclear
secrets.
China is getting another wish: Clinton still won't agree to
deploy a missile defense system.
Clinton refuses to kill the lab-to-lab exchanges he started with
Beijing's nuclear physicists. He has even dispatched his Energy
secretary to lobby Congress for more funding.
Congress wants the names of Chinese military front companies
doing business in the U.S. Clinton won't give them up, even
though he's breaking a law he signed Oct. 17.
Now he's punishing Taiwan for asserting its independence from
mainland China. Pentagon advisers to Taiwan have been grounded.
Military aid has been cut off.
Clinton has placed friendly calls to China's dictator, but none
to Taiwan's freely elected leader. Beijing is hinting at
invasion, yet we're sending no additional carriers there even
though U.S. law binds us to defend Taiwan.
It's also instructive to note what Clinton has not done.
After the Cox Report on Chinese espionage, Clinton never went on
national TV to allay Americans' fears. Yet they learned that a
communist rival targeting U.S. cities with long-range missiles
got secrets to every weapon in our nuclear arsenal.
Instead, Clinton wondered what all the fuss was about. ''I don't
recall President Eisenhower ever considering bombing Russia
because of espionage,'' he told NBC News.
Of course no one ever suggested bombing China. That's a false
argument. So's the comparison to Ike. Ike's re-election campaign
didn't collect money from the Red Army, give its scientists
access to U.S. arms labs, or install suspected Kremlin agents in
government trade posts where they had access to classified
information.
Candidate Bill Clinton talked tough on China ee graphic). In
seven years, he has gone from calling the ruling party
''tyrants'' to giving its top dictator a 21-gun salute at the
White House. All in the name of engagement.
But engaging China hasn't changed.
Beijing is still cracking heads of pro-democracy demonstrators.
Its slave labor camps now total 99. It hasn't stopped arming U.S.
enemies like Iran and Syria. And now it's bullying a democratic
U.S. ally.
Reality is, China views us as its archenemy, and now we have
proof it has been plotting against us.
It doesn't make any sense that Clinton would still be so soft on
China. And as we near a flash point in the Taiwan Strait,
Americans must ask themselves if their president isn't himself a
threat to national security.
