Ostracism of China by the United States. or punitive sanctions and harsh rhetoric. will simply give Beijing hardliners reason to isolate themselves and their policy from world opinion. Much has happened in China since that horrible June day. Certain actions. such as the releaseunharmedof 573 demonstrators. martial law being lifted. and a Voice of America correspondent being allowed to enter their country. give promise of more tempered policy. The substance of the legislative sanctions and immigration amendments under consideration in Congress can be achieved administratively. To escalate that message by congressional action would be counterproductive to U.S. best interests longrange. The message of U.S. shock and outrage is a valid one.
