Speaker. this weekend there was a meeting in China between a delegation led by Maysayoshi Ito. the former foreign minister of Japan. and Chinese Premier Le Peng. and during that meeting the former foreign minister of Japan said that the problems that occurred at Tiananmen Square in China were an internal affair. and that Japan was not concerned about them. That is analogous to people of this world saying to Hitler during World War II. "the problem you have with the Jews is an internal affair. and we are not concerned about it." I think that was a very callous remark that this man made on behalf of the country of Japan. In addition to that. he Informed the Chinese Government that many of the refugees who had fled China for one reason or another were going to be deported and sent back to China. We all know that many of the young dissidents and people who fought against the repression in that country at Tiananmen Square were killed. were murdered or put in concentration camps or reeducation camps. I think Japan should look long and hard at each individual case before they send those young people back to China. because they are likely to be killed.
