But for the past. year. Chinese Government officials have made it clear in both their actions and their -words that their human rights policies will be guided by cosmetic changes designed to win negotiating points or improved economic ties with the West. The Chinese leaders have not released the political prisoners jailed in the wake of the Tiananmen Square massacre last year. they have not altered the requirement for political indoctrination and military service for study abroad. they have not ceased the military and police repression in Tibet and against prodemocracy protests in China. they have not granted the right to free emigration. they have not stopped the use of torture. personal degradation. detention and forced labor in their crackdown against their people. By no standard does the Chinese Governments treatment of its people reflect even a minimum of the respect for basic human rights which should guide American policy. Internationally.
