Vice president of the United States Albert Gore of Tennessee is seen here in this fake picture collecting his Red Envelope filled with money from Communist China's Premier, Lao Zhou's boy, Li Peng.

Gore also recited an English Translation of an ancient and beautiful Chinese poem (this part is true).

The sun beyond the mountain glows
The Yellow River seaward flows
But if you desire a grander sight,
Then you must scale a greater height

We give to Al Gore, many Hong Bao
So always will he, be our pal
Greasy palmed friend, from 'cross the sea
Butcher of Beijing, I greet thee

When are the communist guys going to get some smarts? (or Al Gore for that matter). Al Gore goes to China in the middle of the "Chinese money scandal". It seems that the CCP decided to try and imitate the KMT and float some money the way of the American legislators. But unlike the KMT's more subtle methods (such as giving to private institutes legislators are associated with), the CCP tried this in the most crude manner by setting up fronts to donate the money.

So what happens when Al Gore goes to China. First thing is they ink the General Motors and Boeing deals. These deals have been on the table for years and years. Why do they pick this time to make them official? (As if this is the end of them. It was all for show. They'll still be negotiating for awhile and I doubt we'll see any GM cars from this deal until well into the next century).

And why does the Vice President have anything to do with these business dealings? This looks like some sort of payola. Come visit us and we'll give you business, say the CCP. This looks more like a quid pro quo than anything. They (the CCP and Al Gore) should have waited a month or two before doing this. As it is it loks like it is a simple politically motivated business deal. Al Gore gives them what they want politically and the CCP makes good on the business promises.

They should say that business is separate from politics. That is what the Clinton administration policy is supposed to be. De-link political concerns from business concerns is the mantra. But the CCP show here very clearly that for them business and politics are one and the same.

Another American politician is travelling to China these days. Newt Gingrich, the third in the line of succesion should anything, God forbid, ever happen to the President or Vice president. Newt seems to be saying some pertinent things about the two Chinas, the US and our shared future together on this globe.

Newt is planning to travel to Beijing and Taipei, the two capitols of the two Chinas. In his statements concerning the visits he related a larger view on the subject than anyone in the Clinton administration seems to be able to do. (To give the administration their due, they may have hands tied more in terms of protocol being part of the Executive branch rather than Newt as the top ranking house member of the Legislative branch of the government.)

Gingrich talked about the unification and Washington's recognition of its' possibility:

If so, it will be voluntary, and because the people of Taiwan come to the conclusion that (mainland) China has evolved in a way which makes it desirable for `one China' to mean `one government

I think the maintenance of the bipartisan commitment to a "one China' policy" within a framework of voluntary dialogue is something we want to emphasize

Once again the CCP have stated that the "Taiwan issue" is the most important issue between the US and China. The Clinton administration seems to be surprised at this statement. But the CCP keep re-iterating this. Qian Qichen the foreign minister stated this a few months ago, and yesterday (3/25/97) Li Peng made a speech to Al Gore about this. In a meeting with Gore, a spokesman for Li stated :

Li Peng pointed out that the Taiwan issue is the central issue with the utmost importance and sensitivity
