Yet the Bush administration remains an apologist for Beijing. Rather than isolating the Chinese regime. the administration has appeased it. and resisted the imposition of meaningful penalties. From the secret missidns in which high level officials toasted the regimes leaders only weeks after the blood had dried on Tiananmen Square. to the veto of congressional sanctions regarding OPIC. trade assistance. munitions. satellites. nuclear cooperation. and the extension of stud ent visas. the administration has kowtowed to Beijing and shamefully betrayed the forces of freedom still bravely enduring within China and Tibet. The U.S. policy of constructive engagement has been a dismal failure. The Chinese Government has failed to honor even the promises made to Secretary of State James Baker during his visit to Beijing last November.
