U.S. Secret Service KouTows to Chinese during Tibetan Protest
(Chinese Security Practice Out-of-Site Out-of-Mind Security during
Protest )

Rangoon Post - Friday 9 April, 1999 - Washington, D.C.

  Friday eveing by the Willard Grand Continental Hotel where Zhu Rhongji
was having a dinner conference & speach Free Tibet and a few Free Burma
activists demonstrated outside the hotel.

  Despite the growing wind and the threat of a thunderstorm, about 40
activists chanted slogans such as "Shame , Shame, Shame on China" and
"China out of Tibet".  The Chinese security 'pushed' the Secret Service
personnel to move us accross the street and away from the front door and
direct harrassment of the entering Chinese delagations and any others
attending.  Despite the previously given written permissions by the
Police.

  The paranoid Chinese government security carfully took pictures of the
entire crowd for later use against them and / or their families still in
Tibet.

  When the rain began a small hearty group ran around to the backdoor to
the hidden from protestors' view the escape point and waiting cars for
Zhu Rhongji.  The Secret Service agents suddently became berlligerant
and claimed that the sidewalk on the other side of the street was a
"Federally Protected Zone" and the demonstrators couldn't stand there. 
They were pushed around the corner 'Out-of-sight' of Zhu Rongji when he
departed.

   I have one question then... Does the U.S. Secret Service and Park
Police work for China too?  Why does the President and security
services  Coutow to the Chinese government?
