<<Considering that the Clinton administrations' native tongue is lying, the unemployment number very well could be cooked. >> Even the Federal Reserve spoke out against the way they are counting those hired into manufacturing jobs as tempory workers & counted with-in the "service" industry! Figures never lie, but liars do figure!

OT(or is it?) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paris, Tuesday, February 8, 2000 China Favors Gore Over an Unknown -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By Jim Mann Los Angeles Times Service -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BEIJING - While China is officially neutral in the U.S. presidential elections this year, Chinese officials and scholars make clear they would be happiest with a victory by Vice President Al Gore. One reason is the Chinese fear that a Republican president - even Governor George W. Bush of Texas, whose father forged strong relations with Beijing - might try to go further in supporting Taiwan against China than either Mr. Gore or his Democratic rival, Bill Bradley. 'We can foresee that if George Bush or another Republican comes to the White House,' said Chu Shulong of the China Institute of Contemporary International Relations, they 'will try to sell more arms to Taiwan and move closer to Taiwan.' 'The Democrats would be more stable than the Republicans,' he added. 'Gore has been in office for eight years already. And Bradley's record shows that he is a moderate on Taiwan.' Beijing's hopes for Mr. Gore fit into a well-established pattern. Over the past three decades, Chinese leaders have regularly cheered along the election campaigns of incumbent U.S. presidents or vice presidents, from Richard Nixon in 1972 through Bill Clinton in 1996. The Chinese view is that any incumbent has already been 'house-trained' - that is, made aware of the costs and difficulties of trying to change America's China policy - and will therefore be less confrontational in dealing with Beijing. Sometimes, Beijing lends a hand by inviting incumbent candidates to China, which can be used as backdrop for campaign footage(cont) iht.com
