Chine endorsees Al Gore,afraid of being cut off to U.S. secrets if Bush wins.... dailynews.yahoo.com Tuesday October 17 7:24 AM ET China Sees Peril in 'Bush Jr.' Win BEIJING (Reuters) - China fears that Republican George W. Bush (news - web sites) would upset the delicate ties between Beijing and Washington if he is elected U.S. president, a Chinese government magazine seen Tuesday reported. In a commentary titled ``Bush's Position on America's China Policy is Harmful,'' the weekly Beijing Review said Bush viewed China as an adversary and was likely to deepen U.S. ties with Taiwan and push ahead with anti-missile shield development. The authors, who included a National Defense University researcher, said the Republican platform and campaign statements showed Bush's China policies ``would produce grave results if he won the election and became the master of the White House.'' ''The most dangerous aspect of Bush Jr.'s position on U.S. China policy lies in its destructive role in the tense relations between Taiwan and the mainland,'' said the journal, published by the State Council, China's cabinet. It said ``war would be inevitable'' if the United States intervened on Taiwan's side in any military conflict that broke out if Taipei declared independence and prompted a Chinese attack. The Clinton administration has tried to adhere to a long-standing U.S. policy of unofficial ties with Taiwan, which has been estranged from China since the Communists took control of Beijing in 1949. But Republicans have been pushing for closer relations with Taipei, angering Beijing and causing concern about fueling tension in the Taiwan strait. The Beijing Review also expressed concern at Bush statements in favor of pushing ahead with the National Missile Defense (NMD (news - web sites)) and Theater Missile Defense (TMD), two programs bitterly opposed by China. The commentary said the Bush China policy ``obviously bears the marks of conservative Republican and certain anti-China forces.'' Bush aides said last month the Texas governor would move more aggressively than Democratic rival Al Gore (news - web sites) to strengthen alliances with Japan and South Korea. The advisers said Bush would cooperate with Tokyo in working with China and would seek closer three-way ties between the United States, Japan and South Korea
