Beijing To Announce 'Important News' - State TV BEIJING (Reuters) - Chinese state television said it would broadcast ''important news'' at 6.00 p.m. (1000 GMT) Sunday as street protests raged across the country against NATO's bombing of the Chinese embassy in Yugoslavia. China Central Television gave no details about the broadcast. Beijing has said it reserved the right to take action against the attack on its embassy that killed four people. Students broke into the U.S. embassy compound in Beijing Sunday and tried to tear down the Stars and Stripes on the second day of furious protests at NATO's missile strike on the Chinese embassy in Belgrade. Anti-NATO protests also were under way in a dozen or more cities from Shanghai on the eastern seaboard to Lanzhou in the far west. Western diplomats said Chinese leaders were in a dilemma about how to handle the demonstrations. Authorities were probably nervous about street protests so close to the tenth anniversary on June 4 of the bloody Tiananmen Square crackdown on student-led demonstrations, diplomats said. But the government feared that unless they directed public fury at NATO, the anger may rebound on them, the diplomats said. dailynews.yahoo.com
