President Bush veto on Chinese students bill tests U S China ties
Our view notes Bush scored a political win when Congress failed to override his veto on a bill protecting Chinese students in the United States. The piece questions how China will report the episode, the message it sends to Chinese hard liners, and whether Washington appears soft on a regime that represses its own people. It cites only 62 Republicans backing the override and warns ties should not hinge on reticence to push human rights and reform.

The piece argues President Bush’s veto on the Chinese students bill was upheld by only 57 of 535 lawmakers, exposing a partisan display and suggesting Bush’s perceived special ties to China are misplaced. It critiques secrecy, reliance on leaks, and a style of decision making detached from public opinion, labeling his victory as superficial and his leadership unsettling.
