台中，台灣，1998年06月29日
親愛的希拉蕊女士，
W.H. Auden 先生說，”感謝國家的天然資源，每個美國人，直到近代，可以合理期待比自己的父親賺更多錢，所以，如果他賺得更少，是他自己的錯，他不是懶惰就是沒效率。這是在講怎樣的美國價值，因此，不是在講擁有錢，而是用他的力量去證明他能賺錢的男子氣概，一旦他有能力去賺錢證明自己，就達到功效了，所以可以損失或贈與。
以下是中美關係年表，從1970年代初期的”乒乓外交”起引領著華盛頓與中共政府的外交關係。

Taichung, Taiwan, R.O.C
June 29, 1998.
Dear Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton,
Mr. W.H. Auden said, " Thanks to the natural resources of the country, every American, until quite recently, could reasonably look forward to making more money than his father, so that, if he made less, the fault must be his; he was either lazy or inefficient. What an American values, therefore, is not the possession of money as such, but his power to make it as a proof of his manhood; once he has power to make it, once he has proved himself by making it, it has served its function and can be lost or given away ".
Following is a chronology of PRC-U.S. relations since " ping pong diplomacy " in the early 1970s led to diplomatic relations between Washington and the Chinese communist government.

May 1994 --- Clinton drops policy of linking Beijing's annual MFN renewal to human rights.

As far as we have known, President Bill Clinton do better than before. Twenty-six years ago, Richard Nixon's one week in China caused a major change in the world situation. Hopefully, Bill Clinton's current visit in mainland China will open mainland Chinese society further and make it a real democracy like we have in Taiwan.
Taiwan need President Bill Clinton's help, and can't be lost or given away!
Sincerely Yours,
Yang Hsu-Tung.
