President Clinton's national security adviser Sandy Berger is in China this week for meetings with numero uno Jiang Zemin -- in order to make arrangements for the Chinese capo's expected visit to Washington this fall. As Berger was leaving, he was probably unhappy to receive a polite letter from the Family Research Council's Gary Bauer. Bauer, who has been among the most prominent critics of the Clinton administration's softness towards China, called Mr. Berger's attention to China's most prominent dissident, Wei Jingsheng. Mr. Wei, having already spent years in the Chinese gulag, was reimprisoned in 1994 shortly after meeting with our assistant secretary of state for human rights, John Shattuck. It's hard to understand, Bauer wrote, " the appropriateness of receiving President Jiang with full honors in the United States, should Mr. Wei continue to suffer . . . in direct consequence of his willingness to meet with an official representative of our government." Bauer's letter signals what promises to be a high-profile campaign over the next two months to pressure Clinton into making Wei's release a condition for receiving Jiang in the United States.
