controls the government dies,
China is bound to change.
However, they say as long os
the stale dominates the Chinese
economy, democracy will not

The students also believe in

government about its poor hu
man rights record.
"I think Bush Is right to con
tinue most favored nation stat
us As long as the door is open,
things will keep changing,"
said Wei Di, a graduate student
in physics
“Most people have mixed
feelings," said Zhichao Yuan
"On the one hand. It sends the
wrong message But they don't
want to hurt business relation
ships."
Xiaovuan Yan thought Bush's
timing in renewing the contro
versial agreement was political
ly inappropriate on the eve of
tiie Tiananmen Square massa
cre, which has come to symbol
ize the Chinese government's
capacity for brutality.
"1 am unhappy with the tim
ing of Mr Bush's decision,"
Y.in said. "1 think that it's defi
nitely the wrong signal to the
Chinese government.”
"it is very Important for Chi
nese as well as people of the
world who ore concerned about
basic human rights in China
and outside of China to remem
ber Juno 4." said Haiyong
Yuan, president of the Chinese
Students and Scholnrs Associa

“People lend to forget," he
said. "What we hope is that we
can remind people that human
rights in China are still miser
able and something needs to be
done internationally. We have
not forgotten."
