PRESS CONFERENCE BY PRESIDENT CLINTON AND PRESIDENT JIANG ZEMIN

PRESIDENT CLINTON:

A key to Asia's stability is a peaceful and prosperous relationship between the People's Republic of China andTaiwan.
I reiterated America's longstanding commitment to a one China policy.
It has allowed democracy to flourish in Taiwan and provides a framework in which all three relationships can prosper -- between the United States and the PRC, the United Statesand Taiwan, and Taiwan and the People's Republic of China.
I told President Jiang that we hope the People's Republic and Taiwan would resume a constructive cross-strait dialogue and expand cross-strait exchanges.
Ultimately, the relationshipbetween the PRC and Taiwan is for the Chinese themselves to determine -- peacefully.


This is a broad agenda in which China and the United States share important interests that we can best advance by working together.
But we also havefundamental differences, especially concerning human rights and religious freedom.
We believe all individuals, as a condition of their humanity, have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
We believe liberty includes freedom ofreligion, freedom of speech, freedom of association.


天安門事件、米中の立場を説明、意見噛み合わず。
下のチベットも平行線です。

Q Mr. President and Mr. President, I wonder if you specifically had a chance to raise the cases of the twoleading political dissidents in China, Wang Dan and Wei Jingsheng, with President Jiang and ask for their release.
And to President Jiang, why not simply release these political prisoners?
And, also, why not allow greater religious freedom in Tibet,which has become such an emotional issue here in the United States, as well?

Thank you.

PRESIDENT CLINTON:

First, as Mr. Berger I think has already told you, my answer to that question is, I discussed every aspect of this issue ingreat detail.

PRESIDENT JIANG:

To be frank with you, President Clinton discussed all these relevant issues with me.
I am the President of the People's Republic of China and not the Chief Judge of the Supreme Court of China.
And as forthe issues such as the one concerning Wei Jingsheng, this involves China's criminal law and will be resolved gradually according to the legal procedure by the court of China.


PRESIDENT JIANG:

Ladies and gentlemen, a while ago I had anin-depth exchange of views with President Clinton on China-U.S. relations and on international and regional issues of mutual interest.
The meeting was constructive and fruitful.
President Clinton and I have agreed on identifying the goal for thedevelopment of a China-U.S. relationship oriented toward the 21st century.
The two sides believe that efforts to realize this goal will promote the fundamental interests of the two peoples and the noble cause of world peace and development.
