Talking Points on China Technical Work -EPA Staff DRAFT 8/26/98
We would like to call attention to the ongoing projects which have been under discussion
at a technical level between US EPA and its cooperators, and Chinese counterparts in
technical institutions, on
-
modeling and analysis of economic impacts of potential climate change policies
-
environmental co-control benefits - - quantifying benefits of strategies which
reduce GHG emissions and local air pollution simultaneously
-
technology cooperation agreements pilot project - an effort to identify and
implement comprehensive strategies for encouraging rapid diffusion of specific
clean technologies into markets.
The EPA is prepared to move forward with implementation of these projects and will
have a team of technical experts in Beijing in mid September to work out details of
cooperative work with Chinese counterparts.
We hope that this initial set of joint activities can form the beginning of a longer term
program of joint research on climate change.
8/27/98 Staff DRAFT- EPA/OP Proposal to Support Climate Mitigation in China
Objective: As part of the U.S. Government strategy, EPA will engage the Government of China, and
key experts, in a program of joint research on climate change. The initial emphasis will be on economic
analyses of GHG mitigation, including the potential for future growth targets and participation in
international GHG emissions trading, quantification of environmental and health co-benefits of climate
change mitigation, and pilot efforts to encourage rapid diffusion of clean technologies.
Rationale: China is one of the leaders of the G-77, as such, they are very influential in the negotiations.
Currently the world's 2nd largest emitter of GHG emissions, China is projected to become the largest
emitter by about 2014. Although EPA and other USG Agencies have many on-going climate activities in
China, the government has remained extremely hostile to US objectives in the negotiations. There is
little that EPA can do to promote cooperation in the negotiations from China in the near-term. However,
we must continue to engage China as actively and consistently as possible to facilitate their future
positive engagement. Opportunities for cooperation exist in the US-China Energy and Environment
Initiative, the US-China Forum on Sustainable Development, and the Beijing Energy Efficiency Center.
GOC Key Issues: The Chinese have expressed interest in domestic environmental impacts of fossil
fuels, and we expect that the EPA proposed project to link GHG mitigation with local environmental and
health benefits will be well received. The Chinese have also frequently requested US technical
assistance on developing institutions and procedures for participating in flexibility mechanisms such as
AIJ and CDM. Finally, the Chinese were one of very few governments who provided (in December
1996) a detailed response to a request from the Conference of Parties for developing countries to identify
their technology needs for responding to climate change.
Proposed Projects by GOC:
In the context of the Joint Commission on Science and Technology meetings late last year, the
Chinese government proposed to work jointly to analyze mitigation options for transportation sector
GHG emissions in both countries.
OP Proposed Activities:
Economic Modeling Analysis: EPA and CEA (with support from USCSP) will undertake a joint
economic modeling effort to analyze the implications for China of the Kyoto Protocol's market-
based mechanisms. This will build on prior work by Dale Jorgenson and others of Harvard, working
with colleagues in China to develop a CGE model of the Chinese economy.
Co-Benefits Analyses: Analyze energy, environment, and public health in one or more highly
polluted urban areas. Involves development of relevant emissions, concentrations, and exposure data
sets and evaluation of business-as-usual and alternative energy scenarios to estimate the local health,
environmental, and economic impacts of alternative energy and GHG emission scenarios.
[evaluating alternative energy scenarios of local (health, environmental, and economic) impacts] To
be implemented through a cooperative agreement with WRI which has been working in China on
urban environment and health issues for some time.
Technology Cooperation Agreements Pilot Project (TCAPP): This is an ongoing projects initiated
with EPA/OP funds in late FY97. This project is being implemented by NREL and is supported by
AID in 5 or more other countries. In China, a preliminary framework has been developed and will
be presented (with results from several other TCAPP countries) at a donors meeting in early October
in Washington.
F-7 Forestry Experts Network: Cooperative project on sinks estimation/methodology: EPA with
LBNL is restarting the F-7 network of forestry experts in key tropical forest counties. China is one
of the countries which participated in the early 1990's and will be invited to do so in this round.
Status: Collaborating organizations have been identified for each of the listed areas of joint technical
work. Each project has also established contacts with counterpart experts in China who could participate
in the technical activities.
We need to establish senior level support for these projects and identify any additions or changes in the
Chinese experts which would be needed to create a working relationship whereby our just analytic work
and capacity development in China will be likely to connect to the ongoing policy development process.
Next Steps/Pre COP-4
9/2-3 - High Level Meetings - Could help to promote high level understanding and support for the joint
program activities and to identify key individuals and institutional links through which results
can be influential.
9/14-15 - Technical Team to Beijing - Will meet with technical contacts and interested government
contacts to firm up detailed workplans, schedules and expected products over the next year.
10/9 Chinese team will participate in the TCAPP Workshop with possible donors in Washington.
Next Steps/Post COP-4
Early 1999 - Economic Modeling Workshop
EPA Staff Draft 8/27/98
China Project Brief
National Economic Modeling of Climate Change
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), with cooperation of the President's Council of Economic
Advisors (CEA) is proposing a new joint effort with Chinese experts to develop improved capacity for
detailed economic analysis of climate change and related policies. This work will be supported through
ICF, Inc. and other US organizations, and will build on prior work by Dale Jorgenson and colleagues at
Harvard working together with Chinese counterparts on a developing and applying a computable general
equilibrium (CGE) model of the Chinese economy. It will also support an exchange of experiences on
methods for evaluating costs and economic impacts of policies to limit increases in greenhouse gas
emissions. The new work will improve this capacity and carry out analysis of the economic
implications for China of alternative baseline and policy scenarios including analysis of flexibility
mechanisms included in the Kyoto Protocol. This will involve various scenarios including alternative
assumptions about the implementation of the mechanisms and possible growth and technology strategies
for China.
The Jorgenson CGE Model was developed with cooperation from
The Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, Institute for Quantitative and Technical Economics
(IQTE) - Dr. Li Jingwen
Development Research Center (DPC), State Council -- Wang Huijiong, Li Shantong, Zhai Fan,
EPA also supports development and application of the Second Generation Model, by DOE's Pacific
Northwest National Laboratory, a global model which includes a module for China, which has been
developed with cooperation of
The Energy Research Institute, SDPC and the Beijing Energy Efficiency Center - Dr. Zhou Dadi
We hope to participate in a working meeting, hosted by Zhou Dadi, ERI/SDPC and BECon, with
modelers and interested parties in Beijing on September 15, 1998. This meeting could address the
following substantive issues:
1. The current state of work on the Harvard (Jorgenson, Garbaccio, Ho) CGE model for China. The
model is being updated and transferred to new software, and will soon be available to be transferred and
operated by Chinese institutions. EPA is planning to provide additional support which will allow for this
transfer, collaborative applications of the model, and further improvements if appropriate. We would
like to encourage to use of this model by Chinese institutions and to emphasize the connections to
climate and other environmental policy issues.
2. Begin discussion of a broader range of models which are or can be used for climate change economic
modeling, including models used in China, by which institutions and for what types of analyses, and
background on the range of models used in recent US analyses of climate change policy options. We
also know that PNNL has worked with Chinese counterparts on the China module of the SGM and that
Brookhaven National Lab. has provided training on the Markal-Macro model to Chinese experts. We
would also like to explore the possibility of an EPA supported a workshop to bring together economic
modeling experts from the US and China to discuss their experiences and plans in more detail, and to
develop recommendations for additional collaborative work which the US and Chinese governments
might support.
3. Finally, we would like to suggest the connections and linkages which we see on the US side between
ongoing activities on technology cooperation, analysis of environmental and health co-benefits, and more
traditional economic modeling.

China Project Brief
International Co-Control Analysis Program:
Estimating the Environmental Benefits of Greenhouse Gas Reduction
It is widely recognized that developing countries will make the most progress in reducing the growth
of their greenhouse gas emissions by implementing measures that are consistent with their development
objectives and that provide near term economic and environmental benefits. While many developing
countries have conducted extensive analysis of possible greenhouse gas measures, little attention has
been given to full characterization of the more immediate environmental and health benefits that would
result from these measures. In recognition of this need, the US. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S.
EPA) is launching a new initiative to assist developing countries in evaluating the environmental benefits
of technologies and policies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This initiative is referred to as the
International Co-Control Analysis Program or ICAP.
Under ICAP, the U.S. EPA is proposing to provide technical and financial support to 6 developing
countries to assist them with analysis of the environmental benefits of measures that will contribute to
reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. The U.S. EPA is proposing to initiate this program in
collaboration with the countries of Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, Korea, and Mexico. The work will be
lead by teams of experts from these countries and will be tailored to the needs and priorities of each
country. It is anticipated that this work will focus primarily on the air pollution benefits of clean energy
technologies. but could also address water and soil pollution and non-energy technologies if appropriate.
In China the ICAP work will be coordinated through the World Resources Institute (WRI) which has
already begun to make contact with key experts and lay the groundwork. WRI has been coordinating with
the China Council of International Cooperation on Environment and Development (CCICED) and
especially its Pollution Control Working Group - contact Wu Baozhong, and has worked with Chinese
experts in a wide range of institutions including:
The State Environmental Protection Administration (SEPA) - Xie Zhenhua
Energy Research Institute, SDPC -Zhou Dadi and several others.
Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine - He Xingzhou, Li Sheng
Chinese Research Academy of Environmental Sciences - Wang Jinnan
Chinese Academy of Social Sciences - Zheng Yisheng
Policy Research Center for Environment and Economy -Cao Fengzhong
China National Environmental Monitoring Center -Li Yifei, Liang Nian
The Beijing, Shanghai and Chongqing Municipal Environmental Protection Bureaus
Beijing and Shanghai Medical Universities
People's University
Tsinghua University
Changhua Wu of WRI will be in Beijing for several weeks in September 1998 developing
detailed workplans and schedules for implementing a program of research on ICAP in at least
one Chinese city. On September 15, we expect to have a working meeting hosted by SEPA
involving key participants on the Chinese side, and Changhua Wu of WRI, Paul Schwengels on
EPA, Ron Benioff of NREL to discuss overall project planing and objectives.
After these September meetings we expect to have a more detailed schedule of activities and
products for this project.

China Project Brief
Technology Cooperation Agreements Pilot Project (TCAPP)
The Technology Cooperation Agreement Pilot Project (TCAPP) was launched in August 1997 to foster
climate change technology cooperation in Brazil, China, Kazakhstan, Mexico, and the Philippines. The
project is supported by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), and the U.S. Department of Energy (USDOE) in
cooperation with the U.S. Country Studies Program (USCSP).
TCAPP is a voluntary partnership to advance implementation of clean energy technologies. In-country
organizations participate only if they believe technology cooperation can bring results, and countries are
not required to make formal commitments. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory, together with
other cooperators, assists country teams in developing and implementing technology cooperation
frameworks and in engaging private sector organizations and international donor agencies. These
technology cooperation frameworks provide a solid foundation for developing technology cooperation
agreements that may be useful multilaterally.
In China, a preliminary framework has been developed presented at a Climate Technology Initiative
Seminar in Beijing, May 19-21, 1998. This effort is
Coordinated through the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) - Contact: Wang
Weizhong
Implemented by Tsinghua University, Global Climate Change Institute - Contacts : Wei
Zhihong, Chen Wenying
On September 14, 1998 we hope to organize a full day working meeting to review progress and provide
technical review and input to the preparation of a more detailed framework. This meeting will also
discuss next steps toward implementing elements of the Chinese Technology Cooperation Framework..
More detailed results will be presented (with results from several other TCAPP countries) at a TCAPP
Donors Meeting in Washington on October 9, 1998 and possibly at a side seminar at the Buenos
Aires Conference of Parties (COP4) in November 1998.

The President's Trip to China: U.S. Policy and Strategy
U.S. Stakes in Relationship with China and its Evolution
Way China evolves will have enormous impact on the stability and security of Asia and the world.
China that is stable, more open economically and politically, non-aggressive militarily is profoundly in
U.S. interest
Stakes demonstrated by regional events of last six months: India/Paistan's nuclear testing, crisis in
Indonesia, regional financial turmoil, Four-Party talks an Korea. China's role in each of these has
potential to assist or obstruct American objectives.
China undertaking massive economic restructuring, led by new Premier Zhu Rongji, designed to
privatize and bring market discipline. Result should be a Chinese economy more in conformity with
Western norms, a more natural partner, and a force for growth and prosperity in the region. Could be
bumpy road, however, with massive layoffs and bankruptcies.
Engagement is working
Strategy of engagement, consistent with policies of last five Democratic and Republican
administrations, is working and producing results.
Examples:
Nonproliferation: 1) Nuclear - China agreed to provide no new assistance to Iran for its nuclear
program, to terminate assistance to unsafeguarded facilities (e.g., Pakistan), to put in place nuclear
export and dual-use controls, signed CTBT; 2) Chemicals - China signed CWC, tightening export
conrols. 3) Missiles - China accepted MTCR Guidelines, but concerns remain about implementation
We're pushing for tighter controls, acceptance of MTCR Annex 4) Conventional arms sales to Iran -
China informed us privately "no plans" to sell more anti-ship cruise missiles to Iran.
Human rights: 1) Released two most prominent dissidems, Wei Jingsheng and Wang Dan, on medical
parole for treatment in U.S.; 2) Began dialogue with U.S. religious leaders, Jiang Zemin receiving 3-
man U.S. delegation, and released prominent Catholic bishop Zeng Jingmu; 3) Announced intention to
sign International Covenant on Civil & Political Rights, expect actual signature soon; 4) Have released
many other dissidents early. Human rights record remains far from satisfactory, will continue to press.
Taiwan: Have resumed cross-Strait counterpart contacts, will resume talks at senior level later this
year. Tensions at lowest level in 3 years, no threatening military exercises.
Trade: WTO negotiations to break down Chinese market access barriers continue. Troubled by
bilateral trade deficit, U.S. export flat trend recently. Some positive steps: largest Boeing sale to
China in history last fall, Chinese crackdown on IPR manufacturing piracy, efforts to negotiate
arrangements for pre and post shipment verification of U.S. dual-use exports.
Military: Greater contacts at senior and functional level. Military Maritime Consultation Agreement
to avoid incidents on high seas.
Law enforcement: Agreement to open DEA office in Beijing next month. Joint Liaison Group
meeting of law enforcement agencies in Washington in May brought together counterparts from across
board in law enforcement community, will lead to greater cooperation against organized crime, alien
smuggling, counterfeiting.
Strategic cooperation: 1) condemning India's nuclear testing, urging restraint in Pakistan; 2)
responsible attitude on regional financial problems, supporting IMF and refusing to devalue; 3)
constructive role in Four-Party talks on Korea; 4) common interest in central Asia (no forcible
reintegration with Russia, do not support religious fundamentalist-dominated states, access to energy
sources through multiple routes).
Summit Objectives
Need engagement at senior-most levels to advance U.S. interest, impress upon Chinese where we want
progress.
Every American President since Nixon (except Carter) has visited China while in office. Normal to
have Presidential-level visits in both directions between two such major powers. Not an endorsement
of China's policies, but rather critical part of engagement strategy.
Major goals and themes of visit:
Communicate to Chinese leaders and directly to Chinese people our interests and our values.
South Asia: Obtain Chinese support for initiatives to reduce tensions. Chinese were very helpful at
Geneva Perm-5 meeting, which they chaired.
Human rights: 1) Urge early signing of Covenant. 2) Seek release of more prisoners. 3) Emphasize
importance of preservation of Tibet's cultural, linguistic, religious heritage. 4) Press for greater
religious freedom
Rule of law: Agreed in October on major rule of law cooperation initiative. Look to hold symposium
on rule of law and human rights, ABA visit, visit by deans of major U.S. law schools to discuss legal
education, exchanges and training of lawyers and judges, administrative and commercial law,
enforcement of arbitration awards. Emphasis on systemic reform complements our pressing individual
human rights concerns.
Nonproliferation & security: 1) Tighter controls on missile technology and dual-use chemical exports.
2) Consultation and cooperation where possible on South Asia, Korea, Persian Gulf. 3) Seek greater
PLA transparency through exchanges and observers to exercises.
Economic: 1) Tear down market access barriers through WTO negotiations, more purchases of
American products. 2) Support market-oriented reforms of Zbu Rongji through private sector and
possible technical assistance in banking, housing, and social security; 3) Stronger safeguards on use of
U.S. dual-use technology.
Energy and environment: Cooperare in clean energy, sale of U.S. environmental technology to China
Dialogue on climate change.
People-to-people and Science/technology: Build relations that matter to ordinary people on both sides.
Intensify cooperation on conservation, educational exchanges, promote new information technologies
to open up China further, health care (e.g., birth defects, anti-smoking, anti-polio).

REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
ON U.S.-CHINA RELATIONS IN THE 21ST CENTURY
National Geographic Society
Washington, D.C.
10:32 A.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much, President Fahey. I
don't know what to say about starting the day with this
apparition. (Laughter.) But it's probably good practice for
our line of work. (Laughter.) I try to read every issue of the
National Geographic, and I will certainly look forward to that
one.
Chairman Grosvenor, members of Congress, members of the
administration, and members of previous administrations who are
here and others who care about the national security and
national interests of the United States. First let me, once
again, thank the National Geographic Society for its
hospitality, and for the very important work that has done for
so long now.
As all of you know, I will go to China in two weeks time.
It will be the first state visit by an American President this
decade. I'm going because I think it's the right thing to do
for our country. Today I want to talk with you about our
relationship with China and how it fits into our broader
concerns for the world of the 21st century and our concerns, in
particular, for developments in Asia. That relationship will in
large measure help to determine whether the new century is one
of security, peace, and prosperity for the American people.
Let me say that, all of you know the dimensions, but I
think it is worth repeating a few of the facts about China. It
is already the world's most populous nation; it will increase by
2
the size of America's current population every 20 years. It's
vast territory borders 15 countries. It has one of the fastest
growing economies on Earth. It holds a permanent seat on the
National Security Council of the United Nations. Over the past
25 years, it has entered a period of profound change, emerging
from isolation, turning a closed economy into an engine for
growth, increasing cooperation with the rest of the world,
raising the standard of living for hundreds of millions of its
citizens.
The role China chooses to play in preventing the spread of
weapons of mass destruction are encouraging it in combating or
ignoring international crime and drug trafficking; in protecting
or degrading the environment; in tearing down or building up
trade barriers; in respecting or abusing human rights; in
resolving difficult situations in Asia from the Indian
subcontinent to the Korean Peninsula or aggravating them. The
role China chooses to play will powerfully shape the next
century.
A stable, open, prosperous China that assumes its
responsibilities for building a more peaceful world
is
clearly and profoundly in our interests. On that point all
Americans agree. But as we all know, there is serious
disagreement over how best to encourage the emergence of that
kind of China, and how to handle our differences, especially
over human rights, in the meantime.
Some Americans believe we should try to isolate and contain
China because of its undemocratic system and human rights
violation, and in order to retard its capacity to become
America's next great enemy. Some believe increased commercial
dealings alone will inevitably lead to a more open, more
democratic China.
We have chosen a different course that I believe to be both
principled and pragmatic: expanding our areas of cooperation
with China while dealing forthrightly with our differences.
This policy is supported by our key democratic allies in Asia,
Japan, South Korea, Australia, Thailand, the Philippines. It
has recently been publicly endorsed by a number of distinguished
religious leaders, including Reverend Billy Graham and the Dalai
Lama. My trip has been recently supported by political
opponents of the current Chinese government, including most
recently, Wang Dan.
3
There is a reason for this. Seeking to isolate China is
clearly unworkable. Even our friends and allies around the
world do not support us -- or would not support us in that. We
would succeed instead in isolating ourselves and our own policy.
Most important, choosing isolation over engagement would
not make the world safer. It would make it more dangerous. It
would undermine rather than strengthen our efforts to foster
stability in Asia. It would eliminate, not facilitate
cooperation on issues relating to mass destruction. It would
hinder, not help the cause of democracy and human rights in
China. It would set back, not step up worldwide efforts to
protect the environment. It would cut off, not open up one of
the world's most important markets. It would encourage the
Chinese to turn inward and to act in opposition to our interests
and values.
Consider the areas that matter most to America's peace,
prosperity and security, and ask yourselves, would our interests
and ideals be better served by advancing our work with, or
isolating ourselves from China.
First, think about our interests in a stable Asia, an
interest that China shares. The nuclear threats -- excuse me --
the nuclear tests by India and Pakistan are a threat to the
stability we seek. They risk a terrible outcome. A
miscalculation between two adversaries with large armies would
be bad. A miscalculation between two adversaries with nuclear
weapons could be catastrophic. These tests were all the more
unfortunate because they divert precious resources from
countries with unlimited potential.
India is a very great nation, soon to be not only the
world's most populous democracy, but its most populous country.
It is home to the world's largest middle class already and a
remarkable culture that taught the modern world the power of
nonviolence. For 50 years Pakistan has been a vibrant Islamic
state, and is today a robust democracy. It is important for the
world to recognize the remarkable contributions both these
countries have made and will continue to make to the community
of nations if they can proceed along the path of peace.
It is important for the world to recognize that both India
and Pakistan have security concerns that are legitimate. But it
is equally important for India and Pakistan to recognize that
developing weapons of mass destruction is the wrong way to
4
define their greatness, to protect their security, or to advance
their concerns.
I believe that we now have a self-defeating, dangerous, and
costly course underway. I believe that this course, if
continued, not moderated and ultimately changed, will make both
the people of Indian and the people of Pakistan poorer, not
richer, and less, not more, secure. Resolving this requires us
to cooperate with China.
Last week, China chaired a meeting of the permanent members
of the U.N. Security Council to forge a common strategy for
moving India and Pakistan back from the nuclear arms race edge.
It has condemned both countries for conducting nuclear tests.
It has joined us in urging them to conduct no more tests, to
sign the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, to avoid deploying or
testing missiles, to tone down the rhetoric, to work to resolve
their differences including over Kashmir through dialogue.
Because of its history with both countries, China must be a part
of any ultimate resolution of this matter.
On the Korean Peninsula, China has become a force for peace
and stability, helping us to convince North Korea to freeze its
dangerous nuclear program, playing a constructive role in the
four-party peace talks. And China has been a helpful partner in
international efforts to stabilize the Asian financial crisis.
In resisting the temptation to devalue its currency, China has
seen that its own interests lie in preventing another round of
competitive devaluations that would have severely damaged
prospects for regional recovery. It has also contributed to the
rescue packages for affected economies.
Now, for each of these problems we should ask ourselves,
are we better off working with China or without it? When I
travel to China this month, I will work with President Jiang to
advance our Asian security agenda, keeping the pressure on India
and Pakistan to curb their nuclear arms race and to commence a
dialogue; using the strength of our economies and our influence
to bolster Asian economies battered by the economic crisis; and
discussing steps we can take to advance peace and security on
the Korean Peninsula. I will encourage President Jiang to
pursue the cross-strait discussion the PRC recently resumed with
Taiwan, and where we have already seen a reduction in tensions.
Second, stopping the spread of nuclear, chemical and
biological weapons is clearly one of our most urgent security
challenges. As a nuclear power with increasingly sophisticated
5
industrial and technological capabilities, China can choose
either to be a part of the problem or a part of the solution.
For years, China stood outside the international arms
control regime. In the last decade it has joined the Nuclear
Nonproliferation Treaty, the Chemical Weapons Convention, the
Biological Weapons Convention, and the Comprehensive Test Ban
Treaty, each with clear rules, reporting requirements and
inspection systems. In the past, China has been a major
exporter of sophisticated weapons-related technologies. That is
why in virtually all our high-level contacts with China's
leadership, and in my summit meeting with President Jiang last
October, nonproliferation has been high on the agenda.
Had we been trying to isolate China rather than work with
it, would China have agreed to stop assistance to Iran for its
nuclear program,? To terminate its assistance to unsafeguarded
nuclear facilities such as those in Pakistan? To tighten its
export control system, to sell no more anti-ship cruise missiles
to Iran? These vital decisions were all in our interest, and
they clearly were the fruit of our engagement.
I will continue to press China on proliferation. I. will
seek stronger controls on the sale of missiles, missile
technology, dual-use products, and chemical and biological
weapons. I will argue that it is in China's interest, because
the spread of weapons and technologies would increasingly
destabilize areas near China's own borders.
Third, the United States has a profound stake in combating
international organized crime and drug trafficking.
International criminal syndicates threaten to undermine
confidence in new but fragile market democracies. They bilk
people out of billions of dollars and bring violence and despair
to our schools and neighborhoods. These are problems from which
none of us are isolated and which, as I said at the United
Nations a few days ago, no nation is so big it can fight alone.
With a land mass spanning from Russia in the north to
Vietnam and Thailand in the south, from India and Pakistan in
the west to Korea and Japan in the east, China has become a
transshipment point for drugs and the proceeds of illegal
activities. Last month a special liaison group that President
Jiang and I established brought together leading Chinese and
American law enforcement officials to step up our cooperation
against organized crime, alien smuggling, and counterfeiting.
6
Next month the Drug Enforcement Agency of the United States
will open an office in Beijing. Here, too, pursuing practical
cooperation with China is making a difference for America's
future.
Fourth, China and the United States share the same global
environment, an interest in preserving it for this and future
generations. China is experiencing an environmental crisis
perhaps greater than any other nation in history at a comparable
stage of its development. Every substantial body of water in
China is polluted. In many places, water is in short supply.
Respiratory illness is the number one health problem for China's
people because of air pollution.
Early in the next century, China will surpass the United
States as the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases, which
are dangerously warming our planet. This matters profoundly to
the American people, because what comes out of a smokestack or
goes into a river in China can do grievous harm beyond its
borders. It is a fool's errand to believe that we can deal with
our present and future global environmental challenges without
strong cooperation with China.
A year ago, the Vice President launched a dialogue with the
Chinese on the environment to help them pursue growth and
protect the environment at the same time. I have to tell you
that this is one of the central challenges we face -- convincing
all developing nations, but especially China, and other very
large ones, that it is actually possible to grow their economies
in the 21st century without following the pattern of energy use
and environmental damages that characterize economic growth in
this century. And we need all the help we can to make that
case.
In Beijing, I will explore with President Jiang how
American clean energy technology can help to improve air quality
and bring electricity to more of China's rural residents. "We
will discuss innovative tools for financing clean energy
development that were established under the Kyoto climate change
agreement.
Fifth, America clearly benefits from an increasingly free,
fair and open global trading system. Over the past six years,
trade has generated more than one-third of the remarkable
economic growth we have enjoyed. If we are to continue
generating 20 percent of the world's wealth with just four
percent of its population, we must continue to trade with the
7
other 96 percent of the people with whom we share this small
planet.
One in every four people is Chinese. And China boasts a
growth rate that has averaged 10 percent for the past 20 years.
Over the next 20 years, it is projected that the developing
economies will grow at three times the rate of the already
developed economies. It is manifestly, therefore, in our
interest to bring the Chinese people more and more fully into
the global trading system to get the benefits and share the
responsibilities of emerging economic prosperity.
Already China is one of the fastest growing markets for our
goods and services. As we look into the next century, it will
clearly support hundreds of thousands of jobs all across our
country. But access to China's markets also remains restricted
for many of our companies and products. What is the best way to
level the playing field? We could erect trade barriers. We
could deny China the normal trading status we give to so many
other countries with whom we have significant disagreements.
But that would only penalize our consumers, invite retaliation
from China on $13 billion in United States exports, and create a
self-defeating cycle of protectionism that the world has seen
before.
or we can continue to press China to open its markets --
it's goods markets, its services markets, its agricultural
markets -- as it engages in sweeping economic reform. We can
work toward China's admission to the WTO on commercially
meaningful terms, where it will be subject to international
rules of free and fair trade. And we can renew normal trade
treatment for China, as every President has done since 1980,
strengthening instead of undermining our economic relationship.
In each of these crucial areas, working with China is the
best way to advance our interests. But we also know that how
China evolves inside its borders will influence how it acts
beyond them. We, therefore, have a profound interest in
encouraging China to embrace the ideals upon which our nation
was founded and which have now been universally embraced -- the
right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; to debate,
dissent, associate and worship without state interference.
These ideas are now the birthright of people everywhere, a part
of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. They are part of
the fabric of all truly free societies.
8
We have a fundamental difference with China's leadership
over this. The question we Americans must answer is not whether
we support human rights in China -- surely, all of us do -- but,
rather, what is the best way to advance them. By integrating
China into the community of nations and the global economy,
helping its leadership understand that greater freedom
profoundly serves China's interests, and standing up for our
principles, we can most effectively serve the cause of democracy
and human rights within China.
Over time, the more we bring China into the world the more
the world will bring freedom to China. China's remarkable
economic growth is making China more and more dependent on other
nations for investment, for markets, for energy, for ideas.
These ties increase the need for the stronger rule of law,
openness, and accountability. And they carry with them powerful
agents of change -- fax machines and photocopiers, computers and
the Internet. Over the past decade the number of mobile phones
has jumped from 50,000 to more than 13 million in China, and
China is heading from about 400,000 Internet accounts last year
to more than 20 million early in the next century. Already, one
in five residents in Beijing has access to satellite
transmissions. Some of the American satellites China sends into
space beam CNN and other independent sources of news and ideas
into China.
The licensing of American commercial satellite launches on
Chinese rockets was approved by President Reagan, begun by
President Bush, continued under my administration, for the
simple reason that the demand for American satellites far out-
strips America's launch capacity, and because others, including
Russian and European nations, can do this job at much less cost.
It is important for every American to understand that there
are strict safeguards, including a Department of Defense plan
for each launch, to prevent any assistance to China's missile
programs. Licensing these launches allows us to meet the demand
for American satellites and helps people on every continent
share ideas, information, and images, through television, cell
phones, and pagers. In the case of China, the policy also
furthers our efforts to stop the spread of missile technology by
providing China incentives to observe nonproliferation
agreements. This policy clearly has served our national
interests.
9
Over time, I believe China's leaders must accept freedom's
progress because China can only reach its full potential if its
people are free to reach theirs.
In the Information Age, the wealth of any nation, including
China, lies in its people -- in their capacity to create, to
communicate, to innovate. The Chinese people must have the
freedom to speak, to publish, to associate, to worship without
fear of reprisal. Only then will China reach its full potential
for growth and greatness.
I have told President Jiang that when it comes to human
rights and religious freedom, China remains on the wrong side of
history. Unlike some, I do not believe increased commercial
dealings alone will inevitably lead to greater openness and
freedom. We must work to speed history's course. Complacency
or silence would run counter to everything we stand for as
Americans. It would deny those fighting for human rights and
religious freedom inside China the outside support that is a
source of strength and comfort. Indeed, one of the most
important benefits of our engagement with China is that it gives
us an effective means to urge China's leaders. publicly and
privately to change course.
Our message remains strong and constant: Do not arrest
people for their political beliefs. Release those who are in
jail for that reason. Renounce coercive population control
practices. Resume your dialogue with the Dalai Lama. Allow
people to worship when, where, and how they choose. And
recognize that our relationship simply cannot reach its full
potential so long as Chinese people are denied fundamental human
rights.
In support of that message, we are strengthening Radio Free
Asia. We are working with China to expand the rule of law and
civil society programs in China so that rights already on the
books there can become rights in reality.
This principled, pragmatic approach has produced
significant results, although still far from enough. Over the
past year, China has released from jail two prominent dissidents
-- Wei Jingsheng and Wang Dan -- and Catholic Bishop Zeng. It
announced its intention to sign the International Covenant on
Civil and Political Rights, which will subject China's human
rights practices to regular scrutiny by independent
international observers. President Jiang received a delegation
10
of prominent American religious leaders and invited them to
visit Tibet.
Seeking to isolate China will not free one more political
dissident, will not open one more church to those who wish to
worship, will do nothing to encourage China to live by the laws
it has written. Instead, it will limit our ability to advance
human rights and religious and political freedom.
When I travel to China I will take part in an official
greeting ceremony in front of the Great Hall of the People,
across from Tiananmen Square. I will do so because that is
where the Chinese government receives visiting heads of state
and government, including President Chirac of France and, most
recently, Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel. Some have
suggested I should refuse to take part in this traditional
ceremony, that somehow going there would absolve the Chinese
government of its responsibility for the terrible killings at
Tiananmen Square nine years ago, or indicate that America is no
longer concerned about such conduct. They are wrong.
Protocol and honoring a nation's traditional practices
should not be confused with principle. China's leaders, as I
have repeatedly said, can only move beyond the events of June
1989, when they recognize the reality that what the government
did was wrong. Sooner or later they must do that. And, perhaps
even more important, they must change course on this
fundamentally important issue.
In my meetings with President Jiang and other Chinese
leaders, and in my discussions with the Chinese people I will
press ahead on human rights and religious freedom, urging that
China follow through on its intention to sign the Covenant on
Civil and Political Rights, that it release more individuals in
prison for expressing their opinions, that it take concrete
steps to preserve Tibet's cultural, linguistic, and religious
heritage.
We do not ignore the value of symbols. But, in the end, if
the choice is between making a symbolic point and making a real
difference, I choose to make the difference. And when it comes
to advancing human rights and religious freedom, dealing
directly and speaking honestly to the Chinese is clearly the
best way to make a difference.
China has known more millennia than the United States has
known centuries. But for more than 220 years, we have been
11
conducting a great experiment in democracy. We must never lose
confidence in the power of American experience or the strength
of our example. The more we share our ideas with the world, the
more the world will come to share the ideals that animate
America. And they will become the aspirations of people
everywhere.
I should also say we should never lose sight of the fact
that we have never succeeded in perfectly realizing our ideals
here at home. That calls for a little bit of humility and
continued efforts on our part on the home front.
China will choose its own destiny, but we can influence
that choice by making the right choice ourselves -- working with
China where we can, dealing directly with our differences where
we must. Bringing China into the community of nations rather
than trying to shut it out is plainly the best way to advance
both our interests and our values. It is the best way to
encourage China to follow the path of stability, openness,
nonaggression; to embrace free markets, political pluralism, the
rule of law; to join us in building a stable international order
where free people can make the most of their lives and give vent
to their children's dreams.
That kind of China, rather than one turned inward and
confrontational, is profoundly in our interests. That kind of
China can help to shape a 21st century that is the most peaceful
and prosperous era the world has ever known.
Thank you very much
(Applause.)

CHINA QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q: Why is the President going to China? Newt Gingrich and 151 other members of
Congress have written him urging him not to go. Wouldn't it be better to postpone the
trip?
A: Our relationship with China is one of our most important in the world for
advancing the security and prosperity of the American people, and will be
increasingly so in the century to come. China's role in our efforts to preserve peace
in South Asia and the Korean Peninsula is crucial. Its monetary and economic
policies and practices will have a major impact on the recovery of East Asian
economies hard-hit by developments over the last 10 months. Its nonproliferation
practices are critical to our efforts to halt the spread of weapons of mass
destruction. Its energy policies and consumption will have as great an impact on the
world's environment as those of any country in the world along with those of the
U.S.
We are convinced that the best way to encourage positive Chinese behavior in each
of these areas and on other issues - human rights, global security, our bilateral
economic relationship - is through engagement. For engagement to work, we need
engagement at the highest - the Presidential - level.
We have been making real progress on these and other issues in the last year. Just a
few examples:
Nonproliferation: halt to new nuclear cooperation with Iran, no new sales of
anti-ship cruise missiles to Iran, nuclear export control regulations put in place,
CWC signed.
Human rights: release of Wei Jingsheng and Wang Dan, visit by 3 U.S.
religious leaders and beginning of dialogue, release of Bishop Zeng. Long way
to go.
Taiwan: lowest level of tension in 3 years, no significant exercises, have
resumed "talks about talks" with prospect of formal cross-Strait dialogue
resumed later this year or early next.
New initiative on Rule of Law and enhanced Law Enforcement cooperation.
Chinese leading role in Perm-5 talks on South Asia, Korean 4-Party talks.
Overall, new tone in relationship. Greater candor in dialogue, ability to
cooperate on issues greatly enhanced.
To cancel trip would be to risk going backward in many of these areas. The way to
advance U.S. interests is by sustaining momentum on these issues, not accepting
stagnation.
I have great respect for the Speaker's views and his support for a constructive
policy on China. I'd note in particular his support for continued MFN and his own
positive contribution to U.S.-China relations on his trip to China last March.
During that trip he said "One can go a long way with the Chinese if you are
respectful but firm." We agree completely. By proceeding with this trip as planned,
the President will be respectful. He also will be firm in advancing U.S. interests and
speaking about U.S. values.
Q Will the President meet with dissidents during his trip to China?
A: The President will meet with a broad cross-section of Chinese of diverse views,
background, and profession during bis trip. He will conduct several round table
events bringing together suck people so that he can hear a wide range of opinion
about China's political, economic, and social situation. The participants' list for
these events is not yet final.
In deciding who will participate in these events and other meetings the President's
goal will be both to learn and to have a positive impact. He will speak about human
rights, both publicly and in his private meetings with Chinese leaders. His criterion
in deciding on events and participants will be what is effective. He will not hold
meetings that could be counterproductive to our objectives or to the interests of
those with whom he meets.
(if pressed on whether a "dissident" will be among those with whom he meets). I'd
rather not get into a semantic debate about who is and who is not a "dissident." I
expect the President will hear comments about various aspects of China's system
during his trip, and I assume some of those comments will be critical.
Q: Why is the President participating in an arrival ceremony at Tiananmen Square?
A: The Chinese Government holds arrival ceremonies in warm weather months in
front of the Great Hall of the People adjacent to Tiananmen Square. The visiting
head of state does not decide where the arrival ceremony will be. Obviously, as in
any country, this is the decision of the host country. Previous visitors to China, such
as President Yeltsin, President Chirac, Prime Minister Major, Prime Minister
Netanyahu, and Prime Minister Hashimoto have participated in arrival ceremonies
there. I would point out that they and their publics also care deeply about human
rights.
The President's views about what happened at Tiananmen in 1989 and about
human rights in China are a matter of public record. Indeed, he made clear during
his joint press conference with President Jiang last October his view that China's
leaders had made a tragic mistake in ordering the crushing of the demonstrations.
He will continue to speak out about these issues. As Wang Dan said recently,
"..When the Chinese government receives foreign heads of state, the venue is
Tiananmen Square, in front of the People's Meeting Hall. Mr Clinton is being
welcomed there and I don't mind at all."
Q: Has the U.S. discussed a possible change in the arrival ceremony's venue with the
Chinese?
A: We have been discussing all events on the President's schedule. I do not expect a
change in the arrival ceremony venue.
Q: Will the President speak out about Tiananmen and human rights during his visit to
China?
A: The President will speak about human rights both in his public comments and
private meetings. His views on Tiananmen are well-known. I will not preview at
this time the President's comments on specific issues.
Q: Isn't China a big part of the problem in South Asia because of its assistance to
Pakistan's nuclear and missile programs? India says its tests were in reaction to the
China threat.
A: Nonproliferation has been at the top of the U.S.-China agenda in our relations
with China throughout the Clinton Administration. We have made substantial
progress, and China's record on proliferation is increasingly in conformity with
both international norms and our own interests. China has ratified the Nuclear
Nonproliferation Treaty. It has signed the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty. It has
pledged not-to provide assistance to unsafeguarded nuclear facílities. It has ratified
the Chemical Weapons Convention. It will engage in no nuclear cooperation with
Iran. It has stopped the sale of anti-ship cruise missiles to Iran. And it has accepted
the Guidelines of the Missile Technology Control Regime.
We would like to see China tighten its controls over missile technology exports
further. We will continue to press on this.
As for its role in the current South Asia tensions, it is true that in the past China
provided assistance to Pakistan's nuclear and missile programs. That is one of the
reasons why we have pressed so hard for changes in China's practices, which we
have seen in the last several years.
Most recently, China chaired a meeting of the Permanent Five UN Security Council
members in Geneva that agreed on a number of concrete steps to reduce tensions.
China's role has been constructive, and we see it as a key player in our efforts to
reduce tensions and halt a South Asian arms race.
Q: Will there be a "4th Communique" or other agreements at Taiwan's expense? Will
the U.S. agree to limit arms sales to Taiwan in exchange for Chinese commitments on
proliferation?
A: There will not be a "4th Communique." While we have not decided on the exact
form of announcement of summit discussions and agreements, there will not be a
joint statement focusing on Thiwan or breaking new ground on the subject.
Our arms sales to Taiwan are governed by the Taiwan Relations Act and the 1982
U.S.-China Joint Communique. That will not change as a result of the summit.
Q: Will the President say anything new about the U.S. attitude toward Taiwan's status,
i.e. independence or "two Chinas"?
A: The U.S. does not support Taiwan independence, "one China, one Taiwan" or
"two Chinas," or Taiwan membership in the UN. These policies are a matter of
public record. I do not know whether, when, or by whom these policies might be
restated, but they will not change. I would note these are U.S. policies, not matters
of negotiation or positions we take jointly with the PRC.
Q: Will the President meet with Martin Lee?
A: Yes. The President will meet with representatives of the parties whose
candidates were directly elected to Hong Kong's Legislative Council in last month's
elections, as a statement of his support for and interest in Hong Kong's democratic
development. The meeting also will include representatives of other Hong Kong
institutions crucial to protection of civil liberties and rule of law. He will meet
privately with Martin Lee after this meeting.
Q: Will the President raise the issue of Tibet during his trip? Will he speak about it
publicly?
A: I am sure the President will raise his concerns about the preservation of Tibet's
unique cultural, religious, and linguistic heritage during his visit. I am not going to
speculate on what specific subjects the President will and will not discuss in his
public statements.
Q: What do you hope to accomplish on this trip? What will be your "deliverables"?
A: The agenda and possible accomplishments are still under discussion as is always
the case on such a trip, so I will not be able to give a definitive answer until the trip
itself. That said, here are the areas we consider most important that we are working
on:
Asian Security: Asia faces tensions in South Asia, on the Korean Peninsula, and
economic uncertainty. China is crucial to progress on each. 1) We will be
working with the Chinese to reduce tensions in South Asia, to prevent an arms
race and further proliferation of weapons of mass destruction there. 2) We will
continue consulting closely with the Chinese on ways to revive Four-Party talks
on the Korean Peninsula, encourage North-South contacts, and prevent the
spread of nuclear weapons to the Peninsula. 3) China's commitment not to
devalue its currency this year and its support for IMF programs in East Asia are
important steps helping to stabilize the situation and encourage recovery. This
will be an important subject of discussion as well.
Nonproliferation: We will urge further tightening of China's export control
regimes on weapons of mass destruction technologies.
Human rights: We hope to see China sign the International Covenant on Civil
and Political Rights soon. We will resume our official human rights dialogue
and hope to create a bilateral Nongovernmental Organization Forum on human
rights. We will continue to raise and highlight our deep concerns over freedom
of expression, of religion, political prisoners, and preservation of Tibet's unique
heritage. (if pressed) I cannot and will not predict what will be accomplished in
this area.
Rule of Law: We are developing an important initiative designed to contribute
to China's own efforts to improve legal protections. We are undertaking
cooperative projects to improve China's legal education, on the relationship
between the rule of law and human rights, exchanges of judges and lawyers, and
on commercial law.
Energy and Environment: Following up on an initiative launched by the Vice
President during his 1997 trip, there will be discussions on ways to help reduce
Chinese dependence on coal and encourage the shift to use of cleaner energy
sources. This will involve sales of U.S. clean energy products and technologies to
address Chinese needs.
Law Enforcement: We have been developing closer working relationships
between our law enforcement agencies in fighting organized crime, narcotics
trafficking, alien smuggling and counterfeiting.
People to people and Science and Technology: We are looking to enhance our
exchanges in ways that touch the lives of ordinary Americans and Chinese in
areas such as health, children's care, education, and conservation.
Q: Will the President lift Tiananinen sanctions?
A: Tiananmen sanctions cover a number of areas: 1) Trade and Development
Agency; 2) OPIC; 3) satellite launches; 4) crime control equipment; 5) arms sales
(Munitions List items).
I do not foresee lifting of the sanctions on crime control equipment or arms sales.
We will continue to consider applications for waivers to permit satellite launches on
a case-by-case basis, as has been the practice of the Bush and Clinton
Administrations for the last nine years.
Decisions on TDA and OPICwill be made consistent with the purposes of the law
and the "national interest," which is the standard laid out in the 1990 legislation. It
is premature to speculate on these decisions.
Q: What is the status of negotiations on China's accession to WTO? Will there be an
agreement reached before the President's trip?
A: We continue our negotiations with the Chinese on their accession to the WTO.
We are looking to make as much progress as possible, especially on market access
issues - tariffs, nontariff measures, and services. We have no deadline; we want to
see China a member of the WTO at the earliest possible date, but its accession must
be on a commercially sound basis. I do not expect negotiations to be completed by
the time of the President's visit.
Q: Did licensing the launch of U.S. commercial satellites by China result in a transfer of technology that
threatens U.S. security.
A: None of the satellite licenses or waivers authorizes the transfer of sensitive missile
technology to China All are for commercial satellites, the licenses are subject to careful
inter-agency scrutiny by the Department of Defense, the Department of State, the Arms
Control and Disarmament Agency (ACDA) and the Department of Commerce and are
subject to strict controls and safeguards. The current safeguards include a detailed plan for
shipping the satellite, a detailed operational security plan for the satellite while in China
awaiting Launch, and approved procedures for the supervised mating of the satellite to the
launch vehicle In addition, the plan includes Defense Department monitoring of technical
meetings between the U.S. company and Chinese launch officials, and of the launch itself.
The conditions imposed on companies that use Chinese rockets for satellite launches require
that there be no improvement in China's missile capabilities.
2: Has U.S. policy regarding the export of satellites 10 China put U.S. citles at risk from Chinese ICBMs.
A: China's Inter Continental Ballistic Missiles (ICBMs) have had the range and accuracy to
reach U.S. cities since they were first deployed in the early 1980L Thus, this capability existed
before President Reagan approved the first exports of satellites to China in 1988.
Q: Did the 1996 transfer of licensing jurisdiction from State to Commerce create a national security sieve
because the Commerce Department has inadequate safeguards to prevent the diversion of dual-use
technology.
A: The President's decision in March, 1996 to give the Commerce Department jurisdiction
over commercial satellite exports did not decontrol or weaken the export of satellites nor
allow the transfer of sensitive satellite technology to anyone.
The Department of Defense, the State Department, Energy and ACDA review proposed
exports to ensure they are consistent with U.S. national security and foreign policy interests.
The same strict safeguards are now required for Commerce-licensed commercial satellites as
were required for satellites licensed by the State Department. The safeguards include a
detailed plan for shipping thesatellite, a detailed operational security plan for the satellite
while in China awaiting launch, and approved procedures for the supervised mating of the
satellite to the launch vehicle. In addition, the plan includes Defense Department monitoring
of technical meetings between the U.S. company and Chincse launch officials, and of the
launch itself. The conditions imposed on companies that use Chinese rockets for satellite
launches require that there be no improvement in China's missile capabilities.
The President's decision was the culmination of a long inter-agency process in which
national security concerns of all agencies were addressed, leading to their concurrence in the
final decision. The impetus for the jurisdiction change dated to the Bush Administration
and was reflected in repeated votes by Congress to mandate such a chauge. President
Clinton's decision effectuated the change only after procedures were agreed upon to ensure
consistency with national security interests.
Q: Did Loral's campaign contributions influence the President's decision to grant it export waivers,
including the waiver subsequent to the start of the Justice Department investigation, and also influenced
the President's decision to transfer licensing jurisdiction from State to Commerce.
A: No campaign contributions affected decision-making on U.S. foreign policy or national
security.
The policy of licensing U.S. commercial satellites to be launched by Chinese rockets is
bipartisan and pre-dates the Clinton Administration. It was instituted by President Reagan
and further implemented by the Bush Administration. The Bush Administration approved
three waivers over three years for nine U.S. satellites to be Launched from China; the Clinton
administration has approved ten waivers over five years covering eleven satellite programs.
Each waiver approved by President Clinton was based on 2 recommendation from the State
Department or the Commerce Department. Each license under these waivers was approved
after careful interagency review that including State, Defense and ACDA. The decision-
making process flows from the bottom up - a request for a license is made by the company
to the relevant government agency (State or Commerce), which then solicits the views of the
other relevant agencies on the pending license application.
DRRAFT FOR REVIEW
ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT COOPERATION INITIATIVE
Purpose:
To provide background on the Energy and Environment Cooperation Initiative (attached) and
activities being undertaken to implement the Initiative.
Background:
The Energy and Environment Cooperation Initiative (the "Initiative") was signed on October 29,
1997 during the Summit meeting between President Clinton and President Jiang. Secretary of
Energy Pena signed on behalf of the United States; Minister Zeng Peiyan of China's State
Development Planning Commission on behalf of China.
The Initiative is implemented by DOE, in conjunction with Commerce and OSTP, and with
support from EPA, State and others. The State Development Planning Commission is leading
China's implementation in conjunction with the Ministry of Science and Technology and the State
Environmental Protection Agency.
The Initiative is under the U.S.-China Forum on Environment and Development, which is co-
chaired by Vice President Gore and Premier Zhu Rongji. The Forum first met in Beijing in March
of 1997 (Chinese Premier and co-chair was then Li Peng). There is discussion of another meeting
in the U.S. in 1999.
The Initiative was developed through a coordinated interagency effort and was built on existing
bilateral cooperative efforts. It calls for a sustained joint effort to help meet China's energy needs
in a way which protects the local, regional and global environment.
Implicit in the Initiative is the recognition that, as the world's two largest energy consumers, the
policy and technology choices made by the United States and China will play a significant role in
global energy and environment trends. China remains heavily dependent on coal (75% of energy
needs) and, even under the most optimistic scenarios, this dependence is project to remain at over
60% by the year 2020. Coal contributes to severe local environmental problems in China and also
contributes to making China the second largest emitter of greenhouse gases after the United
States.
To help mitigate these impacts, the Initiative is aimed at strengthening cooperation in energy
efficiency and the deployment of clean energy sources The Initiative identifies three target areas
of cooperation which respond to China's priorities: urban air quality; rural electrification; and
energy efficiency and clean energy sources:
Urban air quality has become of growing concern in China which now has ten of the
world's most polluted cities;
Rural electrification is aimed at bringing electricity to over 60 million people in rural
areas and offshore islands currently without it;
1
There is considerable untapped potential for improvements in energy efficiency and
utilization of clean energy sources and technologies in China.
There have been two implementation meetings under the Initiative. One was held in February
1998 in Beijing with officials of the State Development Planning Commission. The U.S.
Delegation was led by Dr. David Jhirad, Deputy Assistant Secretary at the Department of Energy,
and composed of representatives of EPA, Commerce, State and the U.S. Embassy.
The second implementation meeting was held in Washington D.C. on May 11-12 with an
interagency team from both countries. Secretary Pena and Chinese Ambassador Li provided
opening statements; the rest of the meeting was conducted at working level. The working group
agreed on a number of deliverables for the June-July 1998 Presidential Summit meeting. The
minutes of the meeting, agreed between both countries, are attached.
Agreed Activities to be Referenced at the Summit:
Agreement for the Department of Energy and the U.S. Export-Import Bank to work closely with
Chinese authorities toward the establishment of a $50 million U.S. Export-Import Bank "clean
energy" facility to promote exports of U.S. energy efficiency, renewable energy, and small-
scale clean coal technology;
U.S. Participation in Phase 1 of China's nationwide air quality monitoring network covering 11
Chinese cities. This will include a contract for a U.S. company for over $4 million in equipment
exports for Phase 1 and technical cooperation with EPA including a $145,000 assistance program;
Contracts for several other commercial projects, including several power plant projects and a
coalbed methane project for three sites with a total value of over $2 million.
A conference on "Financing China's Energy Needs", co-sponsored by DOC and DOE for the U.S.,
to be held in Beijing on September 22-23, 1998;
Establishment of a U.S.-China "Oil and Gas Industry Forum" which will hold its first meeting in
Beijing from November 2-4, 1998;
Endorsement of the U.S.-China Energy Efficiency Action Plan in ten priority areas, formally
adopted as part of the Initiative at the May 11-12, 1998 meeting;
Plans for a DOE $1 million renewable energy technical cooperation program focused on technical
assistance, demonstration projects, and training in the areas of wind, solar, biomass, and
geothermal technologies;
Agreement to cooperate in China's clean coal development program, through continued technical
cooperation, support for a test of Chinese coal at a U.S. commercial facility, support for a
feasbility study of Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) commercial project in China;
and opportunities for U.S. and other foreign companies to bid for IGCC and Circulating Fluidized
Bed demonstration projects in China.

MINUTES OF THE IMPLEMENTATION MEETING
OF THE ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT
COOPERATION INITIATIVE
(Draft Revised on June 12)
For the purpose of promoting and implementing the bilateral cooperation under the "China-U.S. Energy
and Environment Cooperation Initiative" and as part of the preparations for the June Summit meeting
between President Clinton and President Jiang Zemin, the Chinese government delegation, led by
Ambassador Li Zhaozing, and the U.S. government delegation, led by U.S. Secretary of Energy Peña, had
conducted fruitful discussions in Washington D.C. from May 11-12, 1998.
During the working level discussions, views and ideas on the following issues were exchanged:
1. ENERGY FINANCING CONFERENCE:
The Chinese and U.S. parties presented their respective views on the topics and timing for the conference
and exchanged their proposed agendas. Both parties confirmed their mutual agreement to hold the
conference on September 22-23, 1998 in Beijing. The Chinese delegation expressed the desire to limit the
total number of participants to 150 people to improve the quality of the conference. Discussions on the
detailed arrangements will be conducted by appointed staff to achieve a final agenda as soon as possible.
2. THE FIRST MEETING OF OIL AND GAS FORUM:
Both parties exchanged their views on the topics and timing for the meeting. They agreed that the first
meeting of the Forum would be held in Beijing. Dates for the first meeting will be decided by the second
week of June for a period between the end of October and early November, 1998.
Donald Juckett from the U.S. Department of Energy and Helen Burroughs from the U.S. Department of
Commerce will be the contacts in the U.S. and Li Hongxun and Tian Jun from the State Development
Planning Commission of China. Both parties agreed that organizational work for the first meeting should
start immediately after the implementation meeting. The State Development Planning Commission of
China and the Department of Energy of the U.S., in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Commerce,
will be the leading agencies of the Forum. Views and ideas will be exchanged directly between the two
agencies or through both Embassies on a timely basis.
1
3. EXPORT CREDIT FACILITY:
Both parties agreed to establish a $50 million export credit facility (hereafter referred to as the Facility)
supporting the finance of clean energy projects in areas such as energy efficiency, renewable energy
(including small hydroelectric), and clean coal technology. The U.S. Ex-im Bank will be the creditor; the
owners of the eligible clean energy projects in China will be the end-users. A Chinese bank, such as the
State Development Bank or Bank of China, will act as the borrower and financial intermediary handling
the transaction of the credit.
The Chinese party explained the difficulties they have met in identifying potential users of the facility
since last May, when both parties agreed in principle to establish such a facility The reason cited by the
Chinese Delegation was that renewables and energy efficiency projects, as infant industries in China, can
hardly afford the terms of normal commercial loans.
The Chinese party also appreciated the improvement of terms made by the U.S. party, including the
expansion of maturity and eligible sectors for the facility. Considering that the interest rate still remained
relatively high, the Chinese party wishes that the U.S. party would make further efforts to improve the
terms of the credit.
Both parties agree that China and the U.S. governments shall work with their industries to promote
flexible approaches of using the facility. Ex-im bank will make every effort to apply the most favorable
standard consensus terms allowable for environmental projects under the OECD Arrangement guidelines.
Both parties understand that industrial and commercial companies will make the ultimate decision whether
or not to utilize the Facility. It is also understood that Chinese borrowers are welcome to pursue other
sources of financing for any of the projects that are identified under the Initiative. Both parties also agree
to work together to expedite the loan application procedures and support the identification, assessment and
implementation of the projects.
4. ADVOCACY SUMMARY FOR DISCUSSION ON COMMERCIAL PROJECTS:
Chinese party reviewed the progress of energy and environment related commercial projects based upon
the list of U.S. interested projects provided by the U.S. side before the implementation meeting. The
Chinese party also expressed the wish that cooperation should be conducted based on mutual benefit and
2
in a practical way, in order to make greater progress before the state visit of President Clinton to China.
Both parties agreed to pursue aggressively and strive before the June Summit to come to agreement on the
following projects: Zhejiang Wenzhou power plant phase II joint venture contract; Shandong Dezhou
turbine contract; Henan Yuzhou turbine contract (already signed, could be announced during the summit);
Three ARCO CBM projects; Urban air quality monitoring project.
In addition, the two sides stressed the importance of continuous cooperation in helping these mutually
beneficial energy and environment projects materialize in a timely manner.
5. URBAN AIR QUALITY:
In the area of urban air quality, the two sides discussed progress in the ten city air quality monitoring
project. The Chinese side stated that the foreign capital utilization plan of this project would soon be
approved and contract negotiations with a US vendor would be conducted afterwards. The U.S. side was
pleased to be able to offer a technical assistance component of the project and hoped that the negotiations
could be finalized [such] so that a work plan or related document could be signed during the Presidential
Summit in June.
6. ENERGY CONSERVATION COOPERATION:
Both parties reviewed the progress on 10 sub-areas under this cooperation and expressed their satisfaction.
It was agreed that energy efficiency is an important part of the Energy and Environment Cooperation
Initiative and that the current work under Annex III to the Protocol for Cooperation in the Fields of Energy
Efficiency and Renewable Energy should be included in this Initiative. Progress in the ten action plan
areas was reviewed, next steps were discussed and agreement reached.
7. CLEAN COAL TECHNOLOGIES:
Chinese party welcomed the U.S. companies and the U.S. government's participation in the clean coal
development program in China.
0
Coal Liquefaction: Both governments are satisfied with the progress made in the 30kg/day test of
coal liquefaction by HTI and China Shenhua Group. Both governments expressed the wish to
further support the next phase cooperation (testing Chinese coal in HTI's 3-5 ton/day pilot plant).
3
The Chinese party appreciated the support given by the U.S. government for the next phase of
cooperation.
IGCC: In regard to its planned IGCC demonstration project, theChinese party stated that China
welcomed all qualified foreign companies, including the U.S. companies, to compete for the
project when the bidding process begins. The Chinese party also expressed its interest in the U.S.
proposal to invite Chinese engineers and technicians to conduct research related to IGCC.
CFB: For the proposed demonstration project on the 300 MW large-scale CFB power plant in
China, the Chinese party stated that after preliminary evaluation of proposals submitted by foreign
companies, including U.S. companies, the Chinese party will conduct further negotiations with
related companies to choose a partner with the best potential and advantage with regard to
technology, price [and] financing terms and terms of technology transfer on an open and fair
basis.
8. COOPERATION IN RENEWABLE ENERGY:
The U.S. party reviewed the results of the recent renewable energy mission to China, and a set of proposals
resulting from discussions with Chinese Commissions and Ministries. The Chinese party expressed its
support of China-U.S. cooperation in renewable energy and wishes to achieve concrete results as soon as
possible. Both sides agree to hold an Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Protocol Working Group
meeting on August 26-27, 1998 in Washington D.C.

Climate Change, Energy and Environment
Mentioned earlier proposed meeting of Forum on Environment and
Development. I am pleased to see ambitious steps China is
taking to protect its environment.
Our experience: rapid economic growth is compatible with
clean energy strategy. Pleased to share our experiences with
you through the Forum, other exchanges.
Kyoto an important first step in addressing climate change.
Industrialized countries demonstrated they' re willing to
commit to significant reductions of greenhouse gases. United
States and China are two largest emitters, share an important
responsibility to address climate change. Our working
together on this will be a clear demonstration of the value of
U.S.-China partnership. I'm working hard to promote a series
of major efforts to cut emissions.
Clean energy cooperation between China and the United States
is a key step. We should work together to continue to advance
your initiative with the Vice President on this issue.
Clean Development Mechanism established under Kyoto Protocol
has great potential to provide investment and technology
transfer to China and lead to a cleaner and more efficient
energy path. Hope China will strongly support development of
this mechanism.
Important we make progress at Buenos Aires in November.
Market-based flexibility mechanisms such as emissions trading
and Clean Development Mechanism are key to cutting emissions
in most cost-effective way. Also a potential source of real
revenue and technology for China.
At Kyoto, China opposed allowing developing nations to choose
to take on a target and timetable. This prevents developing
nations from capturing enormous benefits of the emissions
trading system. Critical that China support allowing
developing countries to volunteer to binding targets, so that
they can participate in trading.
Hope China also will look carefully at economic benefits it
could receive in an emissions trading regime and take on an
appropriate emissions growth target soon.
Pleased our senior officials will have the opportunity to
discuss climate change issue, hope it will be soon and include
your economic advisors.
