Hillary Clinton's speech to the Nongovernmental Organizations Women's Conference in a suburb of Beijing was such a hot ticket that even Donna Shalala had a hard time getting in. The Health and Human Services secretary and Winston Lord, an assistant secretary of state, were kept outside in the pouring rain for a half an hour until the two soaked Clinton Administration officials were admitted through a side door.

At a House International Relations Committee hearing boycotted by Democrats, several GOP lawmakers alleged thatVietnamese officials are holding the remains of up to 400 U.S. servicemen. Assistant Secretary of State Winston Lord testified that there was no evidence to back up such a claim, and that Vietnam lacked an incentive to do so in any case. Even so, Committee Chairman Benjamin Gilman (R-N.Y.) threatened to withhold funds needed to open a U.S. embassy in Hanoi -- an option that Senate...

...reminds me of Hitler's attitude toward Austria. To help China grow up does not mean we have to agree to appeasement. History has proved that 21 million free people cannot be forced to submit to hegemonic demands. Taiwan should not be sacrificed to the big powers' "strategic interest."
