The guests are less cautious on this show than the previous one, and the

perspectives multiply for an informative and often moving session. RD: "In the last

year, since President Clinton decided to unconditionally renew China's Most Favored

Nation trade status, the human-rights situation in the country has deteriorated

dramatically." ... HK: "... we should recognize that Japan is bound to move in a more

national direction--not anti-American, necessarily, but not so unquestionably pro-

American as they were. Therefore we should not make issues with them that offend their

pride, even if we win, unless we can relate them to some big objective."... JH: "Do we

really want to live in a world where we only talk about Realpolitik? ... Maybe in this

world today morality is irrelevant in international politics, but can you name a country

which is happy and willing to be accused of being immoral? No."
