I also met yesterday with Chinese exchange students from Northwestern University and the University of Chicago and listened to their pleas for help. I said on both occasions that we ought to suspend military sales to China. and that President Bush should also start coordinating with our friends and allies overseas on conditioning future trade and economic assistance on Chinas human rights performance. I am pleased that President Bush agreed to suspend our military relations. including commercial arms sales. and will look favorably upon extending visas for Chinese students in the United States. but more can and should be done. President Bush ought to think hard about our trade relations with China. especially trade in those dualuse and hightechnology areas that could be used in military applications. This is potentially the most powerful lever we have. and it ought to be considered if there is no moderation of policy by the Chinese Government. Let me be clear that I am only talking about nonagricultural trade. But to be effective. any nonagricultural trade sanctions should be in concern with other nations. We should go beyond looking favorably on extending visas for Chinese students who are fearful of returning. and go ahead and grant asylum in appropriate cases. It is clear that these students could have a difficult time upon their return if the present Government continues its hard line. The Voice of America has increased its broadcasts to all regions of China from 81/2 to 11 hours per day in Mandarin Chinese. but the need for prompt and accurate information is so urgent that we ought to expand programming at least to 15 hours per day.
