Dear Mr. Trent Lott,
        Mr. Denny Hastert,

Albright is expected to address Beijing's recent crackdown on political dissent, and prod China to take steps to cut an estimated US$60 billion U.S. trade deficit with China as well as make headway on its long-stalled bid to join the world organization. Human rights groups and congress are urging Washington to promote a resolution condemning China for human rights abuses at U.N. Human Rights Commission meeting in Geneva next month.

"Human rights is very much part of my agenda when I'm in China, but we have not yet made a final decision about how we are going to deal with Geneva" Albright said. The State Department is expected to add fuel to the fire today (Feb. 25, 1999) when it releases its annual country-by-country report on human rights likely to cast a harsh light on China's jailing of dissidents at the end of last year.

China, which flatly rejects charges it has acquired technology from foreign satellite launches, has its own list of complaints with Washington. Foremost is anger over a possible U.S. anti-ballistic missile defense for Taiwan, Japan and South Korea. China opposed extending the mandate of U.N. peacekeepers in Macedonia. It is unreasonable for Beijing used its veto to kill the force, because of Macedonia new ties to Taiwan.

In the seven months since Clinton visited China, Beijing has continued to modernize its missile and space programs with technology bought or stolen from the U.S., Feulner said , a leading conservative U.S. lobbyist.

Dr. Edwin Feulner, a former advisor to President Ronald Reagan and President of the Washington De-based, Heritage Foundation said Clinton's "constructive strategic partnership" with China was a "failed policy" which needed a full re-assessment and a "new course of action from Washington".

Feulner was addressing an audience of Taiwan officials in a speech sponsored by the Sino-American Cultural Association. Feulner claimed that Beijing continued to threaten Taiwan, during Chinese missile tests prior to Taiwan's 1996 presidential election had been sent at the behest of the Heritage Foundation. "Showed domestic economic reform and obstructed Taiwan's bid to join the world trade organization" and more of this; that China has also begun a military build-up on the Spratly Islands west of the Philippines, broken off communication with the Dalai Lama, placed his successor under house arrest and had begun a new crackdown on internal dissent, he said.

"The Pentagon has found that China's arsenal of missiles is a much greater threat to Taiwan and the U.S. than was previously disclosed" he said." "Any fair minded person in Washington today would have to say that the threat assessment across the Taiwan Straits is much greater than it was 12 months ago. Let alone what it was at the time of the 1996 presidential elections".

Feulner said the U.S. did not appreciate Taiwan's democracy and added that his institution, working with its allies in Washington "was uniquely qualified to provide some leadership in this period of reassessment and course correction".

In our views; Feulner would give a lesson that "constructive, strategic partnership" need more consideration.
