Wastler: China's choice
Cozying up to the Taliban could be costly to the world's most populous nation
September 14, 2001: 4:21 p.m. ET
NEW YORK (CNNfn) - A friend of mine with a lot of money asked me to pass this letter along:
Dear President Jiang Zemin,
Payback time is coming. It looks like it may be Afghanistan. I know that you two have been cozying up lately, and I wanted to give you a heads-up and ask you to please, please not get involved. It could cost me, and your countrymen, a lot of money.
You know what the situation is. Last week's despicable and sickening act of terrorism is pointing more and more at Osama bin Laden. He hangs out in Afghanistan with the blessing of the Taliban, the zealot thug government that runs the place. President Bush has made it pretty clear: Those responsible, and those who harbor those responsible, are going to get it. Hard.
Feeling the heat, Afghanistan is looking for friends. Big ones. Nuclear powered ones. It's only real hope is China. Russia really isn't a possibility, is it? Pakistan? Yes, but with India at the door that regime has all it can handle.
It makes sense to expect your help, from the Taliban's point of view. You do, after all, consort with all their element: Syria, Iraq, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Libya, Sudan. And China has been reported to be building economic ties to the Taliban. And the United States, from an ideological perspective, is your opposite.

Chinese expelled for 'applauding' attacks
WASHINGTON, Sept 15: The United States has expelled a group of visiting Chinese journalists, some of whom allegedly applauded at this week's terrorist strikes in New York and Washington, State Department officials said on Saturday.
"On Sept 14, we curtailed the visit of a group from China under the International Visitor Program," the official said. "Under the current circumstances, it was decided not to continue the tour."
The official declined to elaborate on the circumstances of the group's expulsion, but others confirmed there had been reports that some of the journalists had applauded and cheered when they saw television footage of hijacked planes slamming into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.
It was not immediately clear where the alleged incident occured, but the group, which was being hosted by the New York-based Institute of International Education, had been scheduled to visit that city this week, the official said.
The 14 journalists from various local television stations around China, were on a 28-day study tour funded by the State Department's International Visitor Program which brings foreign professionals to the United States to meet their US colleagues.
The official said the status of all other similar tours now underway were being reviewed "on a case-by-case basis."
The 40-year-old International Visitor Program has brought more than 186 current and former heads of state and more than 1,500 senior foreign government officials to the United States.-AFP
