G'day all - Larry, from your link, I don't see how Clinton's policy on Kosovo would affect Japanese decision whether or not to sell UST. My impression of the Japanese is that it is driven solely on its own domestic agenda. Regarding the continuous crackdown of dissidents in China. Larry, I don't think - and hopefully you will have some cold comfort in it - anyone in the west is happy about it. Probably not even the titans of the industrial west, to whom you ve at least implicitly expressed adoration at times in our exchanges but are shoulder to shoulder with the Chinese leaders of the current regime. If calling the current regime the "heir of the butchers of Bejing" makes you feel better, I doubt if there is any serious intellectual objection. But what will it bring to the table? The sad truth is that there aren't too many heroes in contemporary China. The only absolute hero in my book is Cheung kuo-leung [cantonese transliteration!] The massacre was bad calculations by many people, and the students were unfortunate pawns - some did manage to use to be affirm their noble characters. The end result was that the reactionary elements of the time seized the opportunity to consolidate their power. best, Bosco
