US told to curb Congress

For discussion and educational purposes only

BEIJING: China demanded on Tuesday the Clinton administration take steps to rein in the US Congress to put a stop to resolutions it sees as hostile.

The Foreign Ministry was reacting to Senate votes that re-affirmed US commitments toward Taiwan and supported the island's entry into the World Bank and International Monetary Fund.

China regards Taiwan as a rebel province that foreign governments should not support and says the island is unqualified to join bodies such as the World Bank because it is part of China and not a sovereign state.

''We are strongly opposed and express our dissatisfaction'' at the Senate resolutions that were aimed at ''interfering in China's internal affairs'', Foreign Ministry spokesman Tang Guoqiang said.

Some members of the US Congress are ''tabling anti-China resolutions one after the other, trying to obstruct the improvement and development of China-US relations. They will not succeed in their attempts''.

''We hope that the US government will adopt effective measures to eliminate interference and prevent Congress from passing anti-China resolutions so that Sino-US relations will not be harmed.'' The US constitution entitles the government ''to adopt effective measures to prevent the Congress from passing such resolutions''.

The Senate votes were a response to President Clinton's remarks during his China tour supporting Beijing's Taiwan claim.

The resolution repeated a US pledge to help Taiwan ''maintain a sufficient self-defence capability'' and called on China to renounce the use of force. - AP
