[0:05] China and its relationship with Taiwan
[0:07] take the spotlight in the race for the
[0:09] White House.
[0:11] And going back to Coline, students
[0:13] prepare to return to the scene of the
[0:15] worst US school massacre in recent
[0:17] memory.
[0:19] From the CNN Center in Atlanta, this is
[0:22] World View. I'm Andrea Hall. A showdown
[0:26] between China and Taiwan may be growing
[0:28] more intense. A newspaper in China now
[0:30] reports the country has ordered a total
[0:32] mobilization of resources to isolate
[0:35] Taiwan. Another paper reports Chinese
[0:38] troops in Hong Kong have been placed on
[0:39] alert with attack helicopters and
[0:41] missile boats on 24-hour readiness. The
[0:45] United States has not indicated how it
[0:47] would respond if military action were
[0:49] taken against Taiwan, but Sunday,
[0:51] Republican leaders competing for the
[0:53] nation's top job offered their
[0:54] positions.
[0:57] China and Taiwan continued to edge
[0:59] closer to a possible military
[1:01] confrontation. Taiwan's President Lee
[1:03] Dang Hay abruptly elevated the tension
[1:06] last month by insisting China negotiate
[1:08] with Taiwan as a separate state. It has
[1:11] forced the issue into the spotlight in
[1:13] the United States. Republican candidates
[1:15] for the United States presidency are
[1:17] being questioned on how they would
[1:19] respond if China takes military action
[1:21] against Taiwan. All prefer a peaceful
[1:24] resolution. I'd make it very clear that
[1:27] under the agreements that we've had
[1:29] before with China and Taiwan, Taiwan
[1:31] will have the means to defend itself and
[1:33] that force must not be used to resolve
[1:36] that issue. We have to make that clear
[1:38] to the Chinese. I'm not going to
[1:40] undermine Taiwan to try to preserve a a
[1:44] relationship of appeasement. We need
[1:46] real rules of engagement with China and
[1:48] then I think we can have a chance for a
[1:50] peaceful relationship.
[1:51] >> Republican front runner George W. Bush
[1:54] criticized President Clinton in an
[1:55] interview with CNN, but did not say
[1:58] whether he would authorize a military
[2:00] response.
[2:01] >> I think the president has made a mistake
[2:03] of calling China a a a strategic
[2:06] partner. I think he sent bad signals to
[2:08] China that says, well, if you decide to
[2:10] move aggressively against Taiwan, we
[2:12] won't act necessarily. And I think I
[2:14] think I think the next president needs
[2:15] to hold needs to understand that chi
[2:17] China while we can find some areas of
[2:19] agreement such as uh such as opening
[2:21] their markets that they need to be
[2:23] viewed as a competitor and a strategic
[2:24] competitor and we need to be tough and
[2:26] firm and we need to be very resolute
[2:28] about our position when it comes to
[2:30] Taiwan.
[2:31] >> One Republican presidential candidate
[2:33] did commit to a position Sunday.
[2:36] Elizabeth Dole says she would use US
[2:38] troops,
[2:40] >> would use all the powers of diplomacy
[2:42] and other uh initiatives. This would be
[2:44] a last resort. But indeed, if there were
[2:47] that kind of action on the part of the
[2:49] Chinese, that is an act of aggression.
[2:51] It would be met with President Dole
[2:54] trying to uh uh pull together the allies
[2:57] in an effort uh to address this with
[3:00] military action uh if necessary. The
[3:03] only consensus among these candidates
[3:05] seem to be that the United States must
[3:07] take a clear position. But not spelling
[3:10] out that position leaves China and
[3:12] Taiwan guessing and tensions rising. One
[3:16] of the reasons this conflict is so
[3:18] important to the United States is that
[3:19] under the Taiwan Relations Act, the US
[3:22] is obligated to protect Taiwan. Joining
[3:24] us to talk more about that, Bruce Dixon,
[3:27] director of the Seager Center for Asian
[3:29] Studies at George Washington University.
[3:31] Mr. Mr. Dixon, thanks for joining us.
[3:33] >> Glad glad to be here.
[3:34] >> Yes. We talked about the Taiwan
[3:36] legislation, the Relations Act, and it
[3:38] reads that uh the US is to help maintain
[3:41] peace, security, and stability in the
[3:43] Western Pacific. We know that the states
[3:46] are obligated to Taiwan, but what does
[3:47] that really mean? Spell that out for us.
[3:50] Well, it means that if if uh there was a
[3:52] threat to Taiwan security that the US uh
[3:54] according to the Taiwan Relations Act
[3:56] would uh do what what was necessary to
[3:59] uh uh keep it secure and stable and and
[4:03] be able to uh uh defend itself. It
[4:06] hasn't very well spelled out in the in
[4:08] the Taiwan relations act and hasn't been
[4:10] very spelled out in the course of US
[4:11] policy because the administration's uh
[4:14] beginning with the current
[4:15] administration has preferred to keep it
[4:16] more ambiguous so that Taiwan will not
[4:19] feel uh uh too secure and given a blank
[4:22] check and therefore uh be more
[4:24] provocative nor spelled out so that
[4:26] China would know exactly what the US
[4:28] would or would not do. Uh there's the
[4:30] idea of keeping it ambiguous so that
[4:31] both sides uh have to be careful. And uh
[4:35] would you determine this potential
[4:37] conflict a direct threat at this point?
[4:40] >> It's not quite clear exactly what China
[4:41] intends. Uh there are clearly a strong
[4:44] viewpoint within China that uh it has to
[4:47] take some ef some action to punish
[4:49] Taiwan for its current uh policy of
[4:51] seeking state-to-state relations with
[4:53] the mainland. Uh what that response
[4:56] might be hasn't really been spelled out
[4:57] yet. Uh some people believe it has to be
[4:59] stronger than the 96 missile tests. Uh
[5:02] but exactly what that might be is isn't
[5:04] clear yet. There have been hints this
[5:06] week about coming action. Uh much much
[5:10] reports come out of the Hong Kong media
[5:11] which is not very reliable. Um there's
[5:14] there's no doubt here in Washington that
[5:16] these threats are serious and need to be
[5:18] taken seriously. But exactly what China
[5:20] intends and when they intend to do it is
[5:22] not yet known.
[5:22] >> Mr. Dixon, Taiwan's president Lee Dang
[5:26] is uh is insisting that China negotiate
[5:29] uh with Taiwan as a separate state. Why
[5:31] is this seemingly sudden insistence a
[5:33] pressure point for them?
[5:35] >> Uh China has always been extremely
[5:37] sensitive to the issue of Taiwan's
[5:38] independence uh and see statements like
[5:41] this as as having uh moving closer to a
[5:44] formal declaration of independence. From
[5:46] Taiwan's perspective, the reason that uh
[5:48] President Lee made this statement when
[5:49] he did about a month ago uh was that uh
[5:52] the government there felt pressure from
[5:54] the US to start uh uh negotiating more
[5:59] uh seriously with with the mainland and
[6:02] the government there wanted to establish
[6:04] that it was not just a local government
[6:07] uh what China calls a renegade province
[6:09] but indeed it already is a uh separate
[6:13] self-governing area. uh it needs to have
[6:15] negotiations that are on the basis of of
[6:17] equal partners not as uh local to
[6:20] central government
[6:21] >> at this point. How has the US responded?
[6:24] Uh so far the US has been uh trying to
[6:26] send the same message to both the U both
[6:29] China and to Taiwan which is that
[6:31] neither side should uh uh overestimate
[6:34] or underestimate US position here uh to
[6:38] try and get tensions to be reduced to
[6:40] encourage China to to not take military
[6:43] action to get Taiwan to clarify its
[6:45] position and and uh there some people in
[6:48] administration who would like China to
[6:50] abandon this current uh policy of
[6:52] state-to-state relations.
[6:54] Uh there's been envoys sent to both
[6:56] China and to Taiwan to take that
[6:58] message. Uh there have been phone calls
[7:00] back and forth. Uh but so far uh there
[7:03] has nothing nothing uh concrete because
[7:05] there hasn't been a need to actually uh
[7:08] uh do more than just uh state the
[7:10] position to both sides clearly and
[7:12] repeatedly.
[7:12] >> And in your view, is that enough for the
[7:14] United States at this point?
[7:16] >> Uh I think at this point it is. Um it
[7:19] it's always a difficult situation for
[7:21] the for the US to try and and uh
[7:24] maintain stability there without seem to
[7:27] be taking sides. Um there aren't a lot
[7:30] of real good options at this point. Uh
[7:32] uh it's difficult to imagine a scenario
[7:35] under which Taiwan would willingly uh
[7:37] agree to unify with the mainland given
[7:40] the political and economic differences.
[7:42] It's also difficult to envision a
[7:44] situation where China would accept
[7:46] Taiwan's independence. Uh so there isn't
[7:48] much the US can really do in terms of
[7:50] promoting um some type of an agreement
[7:53] like as a Northern Ireland or the Middle
[7:54] East where the US was directly involved
[7:56] in brokering a deal. Uh the two sides
[7:58] are so far apart the room for compromise
[8:01] seems so small. The best that the US can
[8:03] hope to do is is maintain stability,
[8:05] prevent direct military conflict uh and
[8:08] and try and uh keep its positions known
[8:11] to both sides so they don't uh
[8:13] misinterpret our intentions.
[8:15] >> All righty. Bruce Dickerson uh Dixon
[8:17] from the George Washington University.
[8:19] Thank you very much for being with us.
[8:21] >> My pleasure.
[8:21] >> All righty. A state of emergency is in
[8:23] effect in the breakaway republic of
[8:25] Cheshna as Russian troops continue
[8:27] fighting Islamic rebels in neighboring
[8:29] Dagashan. Russia says it bombed guerilla
[8:32] sites in Dagashtan just inside Cheshna
[8:34] Sunday as part of a stepped up
[8:36] offensive. The rebels are seeking to
[8:38] make Dagasthan an independent Islamic
[8:40] state. In the Middle East, no break in
[8:43] the deadlock holding up implementation
[8:45] of the Y River Peace Accord. Israeli and
[8:47] Palestinian negotiators met for six
[8:50] hours Sunday, but failed to agree on a
[8:52] time frame for the next round of Israeli
[8:54] troop withdrawals from the West Bank.
[8:56] While both sides met, Palestinian police
[8:59] in the West Bank city of Hebron rounded
[9:02] up 100 members of the Islamic group
[9:04] Hamas in connection with a warehouse
[9:06] explosion that officials say has sparked
[9:08] was sparked by militants preparing a car
[9:10] bomb. In Northern Ireland, thousands of
[9:14] Catholics and Protestants joined in
[9:16] solemn se ceremonies marking the first
[9:18] anniversary of that country's deadliest
[9:20] bombing. One year ago, a car bomb ripped
[9:23] through the main shopping district of
[9:25] Omaha, killed more than two dozen
[9:27] people. John Draper has more.
[9:31] >> A year to the day since the OMA bomb,
[9:33] and thousands gathered in the town
[9:35] center to remember those who died. Among
[9:38] them were relatives of the dead and
[9:40] survivors of the explosion.
[9:43] Northern Ireland Secretary Mo Mullm and
[9:45] Irish Government Minister Liz O'Donnell
[9:47] were present. The political parties
[9:49] including Shinfane were also
[9:51] represented. But this was a day for the
[9:53] Om people themselves. Music from both
[9:56] traditions and olster opened the act of
[9:58] remembrance.
[10:09] At 10 3, the exact moment of the
[10:12] explosion, there was silence.
[10:21] The service was held in English, Irish,
[10:23] and Spanish.
[10:26] >> A Spanish teacher and child had been
[10:28] among a party from Madrid caught up in
[10:30] the bomb. In all, 29 men, women, and
[10:33] children were killed. One of the women
[10:35] was pregnant with twins. They too were
[10:37] remembered.
[10:39] >> And for the unborn little ones whom we
[10:42] never saw.
[10:45] For those who belonged here and those
[10:48] who came to visit,
[10:50] >> for those who died and those for whom
[10:55] life will never be the same again.
[10:59] Several people poured water symbolically
[11:02] to represent the tears shed for all's
[11:05] victims. Rita Restore took part in
[11:08] memory of her son Steven, the last
[11:10] soldier to be killed here. For many
[11:13] people in OM, this has been a difficult
[11:14] day. One that's brought back deeply
[11:16] painful memories. But 12 months on,
[11:18] they've once again come together to give
[11:20] each other support and to grieve in
[11:22] public. John Draper, ITN OMA.
[11:26] Israel is the final resting spot for the
[11:28] late leader of Germany's Jewish
[11:30] community.
[11:36] Ignat Bubis requested to be buried
[11:38] there, fearing an anti-Semitic attack on
[11:40] his grave had he been buried in Germany.
[11:43] That's what happened to the burial site
[11:44] of his predecessor. Bubis was a
[11:46] Holocaust survivor who became the
[11:48] chairman of Germany's Central Council of
[11:50] Jews in 1992. He died Friday at the age
[11:54] of 72.

[14:17] Today, 6:30 Eastern on CNN.
[14:29] The start of a new school year is always
[14:31] a time of excitement mixed with
[14:32] apprehension. And nowhere is that more
[14:34] the case than at Coline High School in
[14:36] Littleton, Colorado. That school will
[14:39] reopen Monday for the first time since
[14:41] April's fatal shooting spree by two
[14:43] students. 13 people were killed, 23
[14:46] injured before the gunman killed
[14:47] themselves. CNN national correspondent
[14:50] Tony Clark joins us now from Littleton.
[14:52] Tony, Monday is a much anticipated day.
[14:55] >> Very much so, Andrea. In fact, this will
[14:58] be a start of school like none other for
[15:00] the students at at Coline because it is
[15:02] the first time that they've attended
[15:04] classes in the school since the shooting
[15:06] last April. In the three and a half
[15:08] months since the shooting, there have
[15:10] been some $1.2 million worth of
[15:13] renovations to the school. Many physical
[15:16] changes to the school. Broken windows
[15:19] have been replaced. The bloodstained
[15:21] carpet has been replaced. Walls have
[15:24] been painted inside the school. Bullet
[15:27] holes have been filled in in the walls.
[15:29] Some 16 security cameras have been set
[15:32] up inside the school. There's also a
[15:34] panic button that's been set up and a
[15:37] card entry system. The library, where
[15:40] most of the victims were shot and
[15:42] killed, has been sealed off. Lockers
[15:45] have been put in front of it while a
[15:47] decision is being made about what to do
[15:49] about the library in the future. And the
[15:52] lockers of the gunman in this case, Eric
[15:54] Harris and Dennis Clelebolt, are not
[15:57] being assigned this year. School
[15:58] officials said that they didn't want
[16:00] anyone to think that they had the the
[16:03] lockers of those two uh two men, the
[16:05] gunman in this case. While the physical
[16:08] changes to the school are important,
[16:10] perhaps more important are the emotional
[16:12] changes to the students going to the
[16:14] school. Last night, there was a rally
[16:17] attended by some 2,000 Denver area young
[16:20] people. The rally was described or
[16:23] titled Coline and Friends. It was a
[16:27] Christian inspirational rally for the
[16:30] students and I think the banner that
[16:32] hung over the stage perhaps said it
[16:34] best, victory or rather victors not
[16:38] victims. And it is the attitude that the
[16:41] uh school administrators and the
[16:43] students want as they head back into the
[16:45] uh the school year that they are winning
[16:48] this uh battle that they are the victors
[16:50] and not the the victims in this case. In
[16:51] fact, that will be the theme of a a
[16:53] rally that starts before school tomorrow
[16:56] morning. It will be a rally in which the
[16:58] students in the words of the principal
[17:01] take back the school. the flag that has
[17:03] been at half staff since the shooting
[17:05] will be raised, a ribbon will be cut and
[17:07] the school year will get underway.
[17:10] Andrea,
[17:11] >> thank you, Tony. Other stories making
[17:14] news in our worldview minute. Jewish
[17:16] organizations in Los Angeles held a
[17:17] unity rally Sunday honoring those who
[17:20] helped rescue people from Tuesday's
[17:22] shooting at a Jewish community center.
[17:24] That shooting left five people injured.
[17:26] Meanwhile, authorities are looking into
[17:28] what they call a copycat crime at a
[17:30] synagogue in the Hollywood area. Someone
[17:32] spray painted a swastika and an
[17:34] anti-Jewish phrase near an entrance to
[17:36] the building.
[17:38] Thousands of ethnic Albanians filled the
[17:40] streets of Kamita Sunday to demonstrate
[17:43] against the presence of Russian
[17:44] peacekeepers in Kosovo. It's the third
[17:47] straight day of protest there. Many
[17:49] carried American flags or banners
[17:51] hostile to the Russians. Protesters fear
[17:53] the Russians are more sympathetic to the
[17:56] Serbs than Kosvar Albanians.
[17:59] Celebrating got underway in India today
[18:01] to mark the nation's 52nd anniversary of
[18:03] independent rule. India and Pakistan
[18:06] both broke away from Britain in 1947.
[18:09] Since then, they have fought three wars.
[18:11] Sunday's festivities in India were
[18:13] marred by four terrorist attacks.
[18:15] India's prime minister used the occasion
[18:17] to say his country wants peace and
[18:20] Pakistan must stop the conflict over
[18:22] Kashmir. The Daly Lama brought his
[18:25] message of peace and compassion to
[18:27] thousands of listeners Sunday in New
[18:29] York. An estimated 40,000 people sat in
[18:32] near silence in Central Park to listen
[18:34] to Tibet's exiled spiritual leader. The
[18:36] Daly Lama is in the United States to
[18:39] deliver Buddhist teachings in New York
[18:41] and Indiana.

[20:57] >> Hi, I'm watching you CNN.
[21:01] >> Republican presidential front runner
[21:03] George W. Bush has passed the first
[21:05] major test in the nomination process.
[21:07] Bush was the clear winner in Saturday's
[21:09] Republican straw poll in Iowa with more
[21:11] than 7,400 votes. He was followed by
[21:14] Steve Forbes, Elizabeth Dole, and Gary
[21:17] Bower. Also among the top eight
[21:19] finishers, Pat Buchanan, Lamar
[21:20] Alexander, Alan Keys, and Dan Quayle.
[21:24] Former Tennessee Governor Lamar
[21:26] Alexander says he will decide in the
[21:28] next day or two whether to go forward
[21:30] with his campaign. He says he was
[21:32] disappointed with his sixth place finish
[21:34] in Iowa. Some campaign officials say
[21:37] there will be a withdrawal announcement
[21:39] early in the week ahead. They say
[21:41] Alexander realizes it will be nearly
[21:42] impossible to raise the money needed to
[21:45] sustain his campaign.
[21:47] As the celebrations die down in Iowa,
[21:50] the candidates move on to the next stop.
[21:52] But our Bruce Morton looks at an issue
[21:54] that remains. The plight of the family
[21:56] farmer.
[21:58] >> Well, the great Iowa straw caper is
[22:00] over. The results were easy for
[22:01] analysts. The man everybody thought was
[22:03] the front runner finished in front by a
[22:05] comfortable 10 points. The man everybody
[22:07] thought would finish second did and so
[22:08] on. But after several weeks in Iowa this
[22:11] summer, I leave this state with an image
[22:13] not of any of the presidential
[22:14] candidates, but of the vanishing family
[22:17] farmer. It's not a new trend. A retired
[22:19] De Mo Register reporter told me that
[22:21] when he came to the state 70 years ago
[22:23] or so, there were 225,000 farmers in
[22:26] Iowa. Now the number is fewer than
[22:28] 90,000, sinking rapidly. It's been an
[22:31] odd year here. Abundant crops, terrible
[22:33] prices. The presidential candidates all
[22:35] came and talked about emergency aid for
[22:37] the farmers, expand exports, and so on
[22:39] and so forth. And all of those might
[22:41] help at the margins. But the farmers I
[22:43] talked to said that what's really
[22:45] killing them is that they can't compete
[22:46] with agri business, with the giant
[22:48] corporations that control every step of
[22:50] the process. From swine breeding to
[22:53] selling pork shops to the supermarket.
[22:55] There's no way. One farmer told me that
[22:56] I just raising some pigs can beat that
[22:59] system. I can't. He foresees a future in
[23:01] which he will in effect become an
[23:03] employee. The big company will give him
[23:05] piglets. He'll raise them, feed them
[23:07] their food, sell them to their packing
[23:09] house, and he can call himself
[23:10] independent if he wants to. But he'll
[23:12] really be working for them. Either that,
[23:14] he said, or I'll be in De Moine with a
[23:15] job doing this on the weekend because I
[23:17] still love it. Of all the candidates,
[23:20] only one really spoke to this problem.
[23:22] That was Dan Quail who said Washington
[23:23] doesn't care about family farmers and
[23:26] Agra business is just fine. Probably
[23:28] nobody was listening. Quail finished
[23:30] eighth out of the nine who competed here
[23:32] and the family farmer remains in
[23:34] desperate trouble.
[23:36] >> I'm Bruce Morton.
[23:38] >> The first family is house hunting in New
[23:40] York. President Clinton, wife Hillary
[23:42] and daughter Chelsea spent the day
[23:44] looking at homes in an affluent New York
[23:46] City suburb. It would be their first
[23:49] private home purchase since the 1970s,
[23:51] just before the Clintons began a long
[23:53] stay in the Arkansas governor's mansion
[23:55] and then the White House. Mrs. Clinton
[23:57] is weighing a possible run for the US
[23:59] Senate in New York.

[26:11] >> In Japan, two people are dead, 15 still
[26:14] missing following massive floods in the
[26:15] region. Four people were rescued from
[26:17] one site early Sunday as hundreds of
[26:19] searchers fanned across campsites. Rain
[26:22] swollen rivers began spilling into the
[26:24] area Friday, trapping dozens of people
[26:26] at crowded campgrounds.
[26:29] Now turn to the weather. Jill Brown is
[26:31] in our weather center. And Jill, we've
[26:32] got hurricanes and heat waves. Hey,
[26:34] what's the deal? It's summertime. It's
[26:36] late summertime, Andrea. And this is all
[26:38] pretty typical. But the heat wave does
[26:40] continue. It's in a smaller area today,
[26:42] but it's going to start growing again.
[26:44] You can see exactly where it is from 98
[26:46] in Houston to 97 here in Oklahoma City.
[26:50] And Dallas so far, as far as I could
[26:51] see, has not hit 100 today. Not yet,
[26:54] anyway. We'll see. The heat index
[26:55] though, it's 104 in Oklahoma City and
[26:57] Dallas. 107 is what it feels like in
[27:00] Houston and down toward Victoria. 103 in
[27:03] Del Rio. So, we had this kind of weather
[27:06] throughout much of the east now for
[27:07] weeks and it's been shrinking a little
[27:09] bit. So, that's helped. But boy, it
[27:10] looks like it's going to be a
[27:11] short-lived break from the heat. As a
[27:13] matter of fact, this is the only area
[27:14] that had a heat advisory today. How do
[27:16] things look for Monday? Well, hot again
[27:18] through the southeast as the 90s expand
[27:20] through Georgia and back into the
[27:21] Carolinas, back up toward Nashville,
[27:23] back up toward St. Louis. It'll be
[27:25] close. And we'll see those 100s in Texas
[27:27] for a few more days. We might catch a
[27:29] break here by about midweek. uh
[27:31] precipitation mainly southeast and along
[27:33] this front heading eastward as this
[27:35] heads across the Great Lakes into the
[27:37] northeast. That's our next chance of
[27:38] getting some rain where we really need
[27:40] it. So, looking ahead to Tuesday along
[27:42] our front, showers and thunderstorms
[27:44] possible. Probably not widespread,
[27:46] probably not necessarily heavy, but
[27:48] we'll get a little bit. Notice how the
[27:50] 90s are quickly climbing northward. So,
[27:52] a warm week with very little rain.
[27:54] Sounds familiar, doesn't it, Andrea?
[27:56] >> Sure does, Jill. Maybe there's always
[27:58] next week. Tiger Woods has won the PGA
[28:01] Championship. The 1997 Masters Champ
[28:04] finished 11 under, just one shot ahead
[28:06] of Sergio Garcia. The win didn't look so
[28:09] certain when Woods cut his lead in half
[28:11] at the 16th hole. For full details on
[28:13] today's PGA Championship, you can log on
