PARIS --- Dear Free Burma Activists, EuroBurmaneet readers and Friends: 
the following comment precedes an opinion article by reknowed New York
Times journalist A.M. Rosenthal, published in the International Herald
Tribune, December 14-15 weekend edition, and in the New York Times. 
Clinton's China Policy gravely resembles Nixon's Open Door policy  in
the seventies and American hysteria for business there. I witnessed it
in Foreign Affairs business conferences. It was wrong and pathetic,
then, and more so now. America, the great destructor, constructor,
destroy and build over, populations, environments, from rags to riches,
all for control and power, as the world prepares for nuclear war and
colonization in space. If this is progress,  my friends, do you want it?

Please send comments to EuroBurmanet, and to the IHT <iht@xxxxxxx> 

In a diplomatic game of high stakes and uneven odds, President Clinton's
sudden turn of the century diplomacy in his second administration China
policy is far course and doomed to uneasy contradiction. Failure here
will serve no good to either partner while leaving Daw Aung San Suu Kyu
and the democratic opposition in Burma evermore deep in peril.  

After Beijing's announcement to cease any further nuclear testing,
Communist China gets the red carpet treatment. Now, clearly the world is
a  forgiving witness when China sends the butcher of Beijing, General
Chi Haotian, its heinous minister of defense who once ordered Chinese
troops to fire on Tiananmen Square in 1989, to the National Defense
University in Washington,  of the US Defense Department, hitherto the
toasted guest of President Clinton's generals. Meanwhile, the United
States sends a token messager Kent Wiedermann, to meet with Daw Aung San
Suu Kyi, in a senseless test of wills with Rangoon.

Despite all the political manoeuvering, nothing has changed for the
better in Burma. Daw Aung San Suu Kyi herself has appealed to the world
for economic sanctions on the Burmese junta, saying that repression has
increased rather than the contrary. Is Clinton so stymied in Burma that
this is the way he seeks Chinese cooperation towards a peaceful
democratic settlement in Burma - apart from the overshadowing nuclear
issues in China, Pakistan and North Korea?

This is neither shuttle nor secret diplomacy, but brazen arrogance by a
superpower  assuming empire status  flexing its muscle over a puny
backward dictatorship under the heel of China. Everyone knows that when
Beijing flaps its wings, the ground trembles in Rangoon, in spite of
apparent disregard by the club of Asean nations recently assembled in
Jakarta. 

Furthermore, it is indeed extraordinary that Clinton picks his wife to
stand up for human rights around the world as he gambles for the China
prize. Nor will the cabinet shuffling placing Ambassador Madeline
Albright and Congressman Bill Richardson, both allies of Daw Aung San
Suu Kyi, necessarily push Slorc towards moderation and democratic
reform. Thousands of political prisoners remain behind bars, in dog-cage
cells and inhuman conditions, tortured and dying, while the generals in
both Washington and Rangoon raise their glasses to China.

America and the West has not learned much from the history of this
century. It is indeed reminiscent of the once-favored-status granted
Joseph Stalin after World War II, and before the icing of the Cold War.
More than fifty years after Yalta, when Churchill, Roosevelt and the
West ceded to Stalin's hegemony over eastern Europe, abandoning millions
of innocent people to graves and gulags, Clinton's treatment of Chinese
tyrants  with honored respect due to great nations and superpowers
leaves in  the wake of  a fragile if not ritual stand-off in Rangoon
pitting tanks and troops against democratic students, reminiscent of
1988 in Rangoon, overshadowed by China's butchery the following year.
Another imaginary Maginot line? She and the freedom-loving Burmese
people deserve much better than cynical double-speak.

In the name of appeasement of power and a  run for cheap markets
-currently flooding  European and American homes with Communist
Chinese-produced Christmas decorations and goods, President Clinton
would be wiser to reflect on history and the millions of people killed
by Hitler, Stalin and Mao, all in the name of appeasement and short-term
political advantage,  rather than to roll out the red carpet to
butchers. Its ironic and a hell of a way to prepare for a religious
holiday by concessions and treachery. Would it not be in the interest of
even-handed prosperity of all to work harder for human rights, than pay
less for cheap goods and markets delivered on the back of slavery and
injustice? 

Indeed, President Clinton's diplomatic postering before Communist China
ressembles French business-inspired concessions of the human rights
agenca during the recent visit to Paris by the Chinese President
punctuated by a timely refusal by President Chirac to meet the Dalai
Lama, as Quai d'Orsay prepares his visit next year to Beijing, in his
own words " to sell France . "

It seems President Clinton will do almost anything to get a deal, --
even sell out Daw Aung San Suu Kyi as a pawn in the Great Game, like a
cat playing with a mouse, the bully picking on a small grunt nation, at
the same time building a superpower alliance with China and laying the
ground for America's 21st century of power. That's exactly what great
nations do. Hitler and Stalin tried, and  failed. Will China's fate be
more kind and terrible? At Munich Britain capitulated, Churchill bought
time. What is Clinton to buy? What cards is he holding  up his sleeve.

What about Burma and the democracy trade-off.  For how long will China
continue to traffic arms and opium south of its border. As long as the
generals want to. 

And we all know, generals that do not support democracies are bad
democrats.

Write to President Bill Clinton and First Lady Hillary Clinton. Put
their policy announcement to a test. She has returned from Thai refugee
camps. Let her help the Burmese women and children. Ask her to intervene
to help free MA THIDA so she can walk free out of prison.

The following article is from the International Herald Tribune, the
December 14-15 weekend edition.
Beijing Wins Big and Rubs It In, by A M Rosenthal

New York -- With a superb sense of timing and of its own power,
Communist China picked the right messenger, the right message, the right
day, place and audience to humiliate the government of thet United
States. The only thing the messenger might not have known is that on
China the Clinton administration, his host, cannot be humiliated because
it has no shame.

The messenger is General Chi Haotian, minister of defense, the man who
ordered the troops to fire on the students in and around Tiananmen
Square in 1989. Now he is the guest of the US Defense Department,
treated with military and social  honor, touring American military
installations, including the nuclear.

The place was the National Defense University in Washington, and the
uadience US officers studying there, on their way up. It was
International Human Rights Day. 

The message was that Beijing has not a crumb of respect or concern about
what this administration thinks about the massacre of Chinese
dissidents, or about its warnings on the use of military force agaionst
Taiwan. It wants the world to know it.

As commander at Tiananmen, the general said he could report that no
students had been killed at the square. In the streets nearby there was
some 'pushing,' he conceded, but casualities were greatly exaggerated,
by the media. Western diplomatic and intelligence reports from the
killing grounds were of hundreds, perhaps thousands, of casualities.

Asked about any regrets or lessons learned, the general said students
should be beetter educated. About Taiwan, he said Beijing hoped for a
peaceful settlement but specifically refused to renouce fource. If
certain Taiwanese gained strength, obviously those favoring
independence, China would not 'stand idly by.'

The general's visit was especially significant for both sides. It was
America giving honored status to the man who ordered the shooting,
drawing the curtain on the whole Tiananmen tragedy.

Washington dreams of more trade with China, but China was seeking a
prize it sees as far more important. 

The whole rationale for the courting of China and Bill Clilnton's
decision to turn away from Chinese human rights is that American
forbearance would win trade for American businesses, and also make
Beijing more moderate, reasonable and honest about human rights and
Taiwan.

Wiothout that rationalization, the Clinton policy would be seen as one
more nasty stew of appeasement. Americans might even get upset about how
US business and government help build China militarily, how Washington
tries to ignore Chinese sales of millisles and nuclear technology to
other dictatorships.

The general deliberately stripped away the ratiionalizatings. The
objective was not just to put America in its place but once and for all
to kill the fantasy that China could be 'softened ' by foreigners, by
Chinese, by trade, or even by purposeful blilndness to its weapons
trade.

Beijing cannot tolerate that idea. It knows that the concept of more
freedom, unless squashed, could take hold in China.

Radio For Peace International   Weekly Program Update for week ending 17
November, 1996 Notes and announcements:

ENGINEERING UPDATE: The 10 kw transmitter has been working
flawlessly to date.  Unfortunately, the 19 meter antenna attached to it
decided it didn't like so much power running through its veins and threw
a
tantrum!  With a little loving care and a couple of modifications
though,
she should be operational again within the next few days.  Meanwhile, we
continue testing this same transmitter on 6.205 (USB) from about
0000-1200
UT with a variable output of from 5-10 KW.  


RFPI breaks new ground this quarter with Africa Speaks, a weekly
hour-long live broadcast produced by Yahne Sangarey.  Taking the form of

within
families and is against young people -- is being ignored by candidates

Mon: 11 Nov, 1830*-  "U.S Defense Secretary William Perry has a dilemma:
fewer and fewer countries want to act as host for our troops, tanks,
helicopters and bombers. Perry's come up with a solution: instead of

on land, let's build massive permanent floating bases in the ocean, he
says."

Tue: 12 Nov, 2120**  - "The New York Times often invokes the passive
voice, especially when a favorite U.S. ally--like Israel for
instance--is committing violence."

Wed: 13 Nov, 1830*-  "Recently the Clinton Administration had an
especially daunting PR task. It was not a personal scandal this time, it
was the fact that at least for a decade, U.S. army manuals taught Latin
American soldiers at the School of Americas, now located in Fort
Benning,
Georgia, how to torture and assassinate opponents back home."

	INFO: SOA Watch, P.O. Box 3330, Columbus, GA  31903
Thurs: 14 Nov, 2120** - "With much fanfare, Bill Clinton signed the
Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty at the United Nations recently. But don't
be
fooled: the United States is still preparing for nuclear war."

Fri: 15 Nov, 1830*- "U.S. ally and NATO member Turkey is now trying to
ally with U.S arch enemy Iraq. Seems Turkey and Iraq have a mutual
enemy:
the Kurds. US foreign policy makers have their alternatives, too. One
they're exploring is to de-demonize Iran."

Truth," he is considered one of today's most eloquent and accessible
authorities on comparative religion. He was recently the subject of a
five-part Bill Moyers's special on PBS. In this half-hour, he talks with
Scott London about the common threads at the heart of the world's great
wisdom traditions. He also discusses the uneasy relationship between

with the Dalai Lama when they were

Subject: IHT and France-Burma
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Dear Euro-Burmanet readers & Burma activists,

Good news. The IHT yesterday carried on page one, center the following
story and headline " Burma's Pipeline Tug of War / Rights Butt up
Against Business in French-U.S. project "

The activist revolt and the long hard efforts against the oil companies
in Burma intensified over the past year has become front page news
around the world. TOTAL cannot avoid it, and the paid journalism
promotional tour to Burma by TOTAL's PR department last month did not go
unscathed. The problem has been put out front and TOTAL, Unocal and its
drug partners in Slorc and businesses invested in Burma are now high
profile targets.

The rather lukewarm story by Seth Mydans in the NY Times is now history,
and says more of the same what we have seen on TOTAL over the past few
weeks a la Herve Madero, TOTAL's French manager in Burma.

For those who are concerned, the French now have had enough of TOTAL's
hype, and the leading Internet magazine here, Planete Internet, this
month followed last month's story on EUROBURMANET and its TOTAL BOYCOTT,
with a rebuttal on the editorial page of THIS Months December issue "
TOTAL CONTROL " hitting Total for not responding to its editors
questions, along with a 3-page story, in French on the Free Burma
internet campaign -also citing a $1.3 million dollar funding
contribution by George Soros, and inuendoes (sic?) of CIA propaganda... 

Well, EURO-BURMANET has no links to the CIA and to date is not funded by
Soros. 

And despite French arrogance, indifference and pre-occupation with
Algeria, Africa, and Bosnie, Burma is now becoming a " chic "  ie. "
cool " subject here. It seems that you have to be " in fashion " to be
taken " seriously "
and of course, the French never like to be seen taking anything too "
seriously ".  Except bowing down to state power and ministries,
state-protected paid vacations, and champagne and wine parties....

For 1996,  with the French story in the press, and Phase II now in
operation, EUROBURMANET's TOTAL BOYCOTT campaign, launched last year,
and this year on the NET, has been worth the investment and effort.
Let's hope 1997 goes even further.

If you havent done it lately, check it out on the Net. Its there for
you, and a FREE BURMA. 

Thank you.
Metta,
