Rightwing US policy makes China more conservative too US-Sino relations are even more complex under Bush Martin Woollacott Friday April 13, 2001 The Guardian Following is an excerpt from Martin Woollacott's report: "Nevertheless, a rightwing American government, acting in part in defence of human rights, may in the process be strengthening the conservative elements in the Chinese party, government, and military which are least likely to advance those rights in China. That same American government, while professing a desire that China be brought fully into various world bodies, may in fact end up limiting that engagement. Because the Bush team made it so clear, during the election campaign and in the first weeks of power, that they intended to be tougher with China they may already have narrowed the options for the more liberal figures in the Chinese ruling class. That said, it was clear before Bush's victory that both the American and Chinese military establishments were shaping policies that made a degree of confrontation more likely. Hainan has only been a rather earlier confirmation of this than expected." guardian.co.uk
