But. in the end. they will make the same calculation about when to risk offending us on the U.S. market. I think that the precedent exists for President Li to visit the United States. Consider for a moment. Mr. President. that we have welcomed other unofficial leaders to the United States. such as Dalai Lama. who called on Vice President GOREover the objections of the Peoples Republic of China. Yasser Arafat came to the White House ceremony. he was once considered a terrorist. Gerry Adams has been granted numerous visas over British objections. In each case. the administration made direct choices to allow a visit to advance Americas goals. Lis visit would do the same thing.
