House to consider stronger China sanctions
A bipartisan agreement to strengthen U S sanctions on China nears House consideration. The measure to be attached to the foreign aid authorization bill would suspend new trade development and arms exports, restrict space satellites and police equipment, and link U S policy to Tibet and Hong Kong issues while offering asylum to pro democracy dissidents. Bush remains opposed to Congress imposing new sanctions, aiming to avoid lasting damage to U S Chinese relations. The Post noted advisers weigh whether Bush should accept or publicly oppose the proposal.
