Dear Mr. Trent Lott,
Mr. Denny Hastert,
It is a good news. We are hearing that families of people killed when Chinese troops
crushed the Tiananmen Square protests a decade ago have asked China to
investigate the deaths and prosecute those they hold responsible, including former Premier
Li Peng, human rights groups said on Thursday (June 1, 1999).
In an unprecedented legal action, a group of 105 victims' relatives and people wounded
in the shooting have submitted a petition and evidence to Chinese courts demanding they
conduct a criminal investigation of martial law troops and officials involved in the
crackdown, the group said. Human rights groups told a news conference the petition was a
test of China's legal system and the process could be long and arduous. If that failed,
the Human Rights In China (HRIC) said it would take the matter to an
international court as a case of crimes against humanity.
It is bad for that Russia and China railed yesterday (June 2, 1999) against NATO
attacks on Yugoslavia and agreed to coordinated diplomatic efforts to counteract
U.S. dominance of world affairs.
On our surprise, the Ministry of National Defense in Taiwan yesterday (June 2, 1999)
ordered its F-16 fleet grounded for a full inspection after a fighter jet went missing off
the Taitung coast Thursday night. All F-16 missions will be halted pending completion of a
thorough flight safety inspection, officers at the air force general headquarters said
yesterday (June 2, 1999). We don't know the "troublemaker" is
"F-16" or "pilot"?
In spite of "Taiwan F-16 problems" that U.S. commercial diplomacy, once used
to describe how increased economic engagement with China would strengthen ties in other
arenas. Now the White House, and the business community, are arguing the opposite, why
national security issues should be divorced from trade. "In the end," said
Senator Max Bavcus, Democratic-Montang, who is pushing for permanent trade privileges,
"people will come to realize that all the concessions in this trade agreement are
on China's side."
Taiwan needs your support, and God be with you forever.
