Moreover. in terms of human rights. we have seen little improvement. In July. I joined with several colleagues in writing a letter to Chinese Premier Li Peng. protesting the strict sentence imposed on Bao Tong. a leading Government reformer imprisoned after the Tiananmen Square protest. The promises made to Secretary Baker last November with respect to granting exit visas to Chinese dissidents have not been kept. And most recently. Chinese authorities arrested Shen Tong. a student leader in the 1989 democracy movement. who had returned to China to continue his prodemocarcy efforts after 3 years of exile in the United States.
