...toldTIME Washington correspondent Suneel Ratanthey disavowed the speech. Reich's spinners later said the "corporate welfare" idea was "not a proposal." President Clinton, at a news conference, tried to soft-pedal the potential Cabinet flap. Though he claimed ignorance, he said "conceptually" the Reich initiative might be "attractive." Yet, Ratan says, Reich has been pushing such proposals in White House circles for a year and a half without success. But now, amid White House post-election paralysis, he says, the Labor Secretary is freelancing. "Reich is basically joining the battle for Clinton's mind," Ratan says. "In this case...

TIME economics correspondent Suneel Ratan says the real APEC action may have been Clinton's buttering-up of China, the big engine fueling the Asian economic explosion and arguably APEC's most important partner. The Chinese are "going to be like Japan, but outstrip our Japanese problem by an order of magnitude," Ratan says. The APEC summit, he adds, lays groundwork for serious negotiations with China on what it really wants: entry into the General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs (GATT) sooner than 2020.
