Senators call for 'retribution' against China
By Joyce Howard Price
THE WASHINGTON TIMES

Key senators of both parties said yesterday that the Bush administration needs to take a tougher stance in its future relations with China, and that it must demand return of the damaged EP-3E surveillance plane China still has in its possession and invoke various punishments.

"Relations cannot continue on the current basis. . . . There's got to be retribution," Sen. Robert G. Torricelli, New Jersey Democrat and a member of the Foreign Relations Committee, said on NBC's "Meet the Press."
"China has questioned our credibility as a power. That cannot stand. The burden is on George Bush to make that clear," Mr. Torricelli said.
Sen. Jon Kyl, Arizona Republican and a member of the Select Committee on Intelligence, said on CNN's "Late Edition" it's crucial that the United States "sends a strong signal to China that it cannot continue to engage in belligerent activity toward Taiwan and toward the United States and expect to have the kind of relationship with us that we had thought that it wanted to have."
