"Abudu Pu'er, a young Uighur man from Xinjiang, the region in China's far west,
didn't sleep much Sunday night. He wandered from gritty hostel to humble guest
house looking for a bed, but was turned away at every door."

"Early this week, in the midst of stalemated talks with China over the release
of 24 Americans detained on Hainan island, the commander of United States
forces in the Pacific recommended dispatching the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk
up the coast of China, to send Beijing's leaders a message of American
resolve."

"The United States and China resolved their standoff today after President Bush
approved compromise language saying the United States was "very sorry" for the
loss of a Chinese pilot, and for an American spy plane's emergency landing on
Chinese soil. But in a letter to Beijing, Washington accepted no responsibility
for the midair collision on April 1 that now seems certain to color Mr. Bush's
next encounters with China."

"The Bush administration, seeking to overcome Chinese opposition to its missile
defense program, intends to tell leaders in Beijing that it has no objections
to the country's plans to build up its small fleet of nuclear missiles,
according to senior administration officials."

"Fearful that an antimissile defense could embolden the United States to
intervene in crises on China's doorstep, Beijing is focusing on low-cost ways
to thwart the plan, including ways to attack the defense system itself, China's
top arms control official said."

"Despite the visions of war conjured by President Bush's suggestion that the
United States could help defend Taiwan from a Chinese invasion, the social and
economic integration between the mainland and the island is stronger than ever,
and growing."

"President Bush, offering a more explicit commitment to Taiwan than his recent
predecessors, said in a television interview broadcast today that if the island
came under attack from China, he would order "whatever it took" to help Taiwan
defend itself."

"The collision between an American spy plane and a Chinese fighter jet has
focused attention on China's military buildup. But none of the pilots at this
air base in southern Taiwan need any reminders."

"Jiang Zemin has not yet met George W. Bush, but in their single telephone
conversation last month, Mr. Jiang now says, "from his voice I could feel that
he was a president I could do business with."
