SHLJLE JINGJI DAOBAO VIEWS WORLD ECONOMY 4WK130859 Shanghai SHIJIE JINGJI DAOBAO in Chinese 2 Jan 84 p 3 ‘Article by Huan Xiang, "Well-known Specialist on International Questions and Adviser to This Paper": "Recovery of World Economy Is Slow, Weak, and Unstable") [Text] The year 1983 saw a turn for the better in the world's economy: The most serious (longest in time and greatest in influence) economic crisis in the capitalist world since the end of World War II has come to an end, and the Western economy began to recover in spring 1983. lL. i6 Jan 84 A. PRC INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS towever, leve lopments in various countries were uneven, with the »-5. recovery being the quickest, followed by that in Japan and then by that in Western Europe. Since Andropey started economic reforms, the Soviet Union has in the main checked the declining tendency of the growth rate of its national economy. Industry and agriculture in East European countries have also grown to a certain extent. In the Third World, most Asian countries have raised their economic growth rates over the past year and have brought down inflation rates; but Latin American countries passed the year 1983 “under the most depressed condition in the last 50 years." African countries also generally met with serious economic difficulties. In addition, most Third World countries have been racked with heavy debts. As we enter 1984, the world economy is still confronted with many difficulties and problems. lm the Western world, although cyclinal crisis factors have abated, noncyclical and structural v.actors still exist and will continue to hold back further recovery. It will etill take the Soviet Union a long time to effect its economic reform and it will hav’ to adept many resolute steps to achieve it. East European countries are faced wit: many problems that are not easy to solve. So, the Soviet and East European economies can hardly be expected to achieve major growth in 1983 [year as published]. Most Third World countries will continue to be harmed by the Western countries’ practice of shifting the economic crisis onto others and their policy of building up tariffs and trade barriers, so it will remain difficult for them to shake off economic difficulties. All this shows that the recovery of the world's economy in 1984 will be slow, weak, unstable, and uneven. INTINUI GE ON PREMIER ZHAO'S U.S. VISI' Newsletter on Washington Activities HELSOBOG Me MIN RIBAO in Chinese 14 Jan 84 p 56 “Newsletter ft: America” by Yuan Xianlu and Zhang Yunwen: “Broad Prospects for Devel- 1 - tions’ lext Premier Zhao Ziyang completed his activities in the American capital at 1000 the mornin, f | inuary, and ntinued his otticial visit to the United States by. leaving Washingt for San Francisco. Premier Zhao had a very busy schedule in the American capital. On 11 January, he went t ngress ¢ neet the leaders of the House and Senate; in his hote! he met Secretary etense Weinberger, Commerce Secretary Baldrige, and presidential science adviser Keyworth. He was also interviewed by tive major U.S. television stations, met the editor in chiet of the WASHINGTON POST, held a grand tarewell banquet, and also attended a icheon elven by the National Council for U.S.-China Trade and a dinner jointly given bv the China Society, Chinese-Americans of various circles, and the U.S.-China People's ‘riendship Association. Onthe morning of the 12th, apart from attending a Cabinet breakfast in the White House, Premier Zhao also signed two agreements and said farewel| to President Reagan. In addition he also specially set aside time for an activity that had been cancelled by his hosts due to heavy snow -- a visit to the Sidwell Friends School. Premier “hao had very broad-ranging contacts with Americans inside and outside government during a period of 48 hours. The talks between Premier Zhao and President Reagan showed that China and the United States indeed have important points in common and also important differences. It was ‘bvious that the differences between the two countries over the Taiwan issue were not resolved in these talks. A number of Americans concerned over Sino-U.S. relations told these correspondents that due to historical reasons and current U.S. political realities, it is still umrealistic to demand that the leaders of the two ccuntries immediately clear way this obstacle affecting the steady development of Sino-U.S. relations. However, it is necessary to see another aspect of the matter, that is, the tide of development of these relations is irresistible. A U.S. Government official held that it was extremely significant that the leaders of the two countries held friendly and frank talks on the icute and sensitive Taiwan issue, with each stating his position and understanding the viewpoint of the other, and directly exchanging views in this way. A person involved in U.S.-China friendship activities said that by clearly expounding the Chinese Government's position on the Taiwan issue to the American public through his talks with the media, such as the five television stations and the WASHINGTON POST, Premier Zhao would effec- tively stimulate the efforts of people inside and outside the U.S. Government to solve this difference between China and the United States. Before Premier Zhao left Washington, China and the United States signed an agreement on industrial technological cooperation and an agreement on scientific and technological cooperation. These two agreements symbolize "the new fruits" in Sino-U.S. ties "that need to be preserved and the new fields to be opened up," and show that “the prospects for Sime-.S. relations grow ever broader." The splendor of the lunch given by the National Council for U.S.-China Trade on 11 January expressed the tremendous interest of \(merican businessmen in developing economic cooperation with China. [. 16 Jan 84 B 2 PRC INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS UNITED STATES »peaking on the dramatic interest in the number of member companies of this organization in recent years, council chairman Surrey said humorously: "I want to tell you, Premier chao, we have been unable to find an effective way of controlling the population of this council.” At the lunch, Premier Zhao expounded on China's external economic policy, gave some explanations in view of certain misunderstandings, and also spoke frankly on a number of Chinese shortcomings and problems on this issue. Many American businessmen said that the Chinese leader's frank and sincere statements and truth-seeking approach had further strengthened their interest and confidence in carrying out economic exchanges with China. Premier Zhao said in one speech: "Since I came to America, I have personally seen that the American people have particularly friendly feelings toward the Chinese people." During his visit to Washington, one thing was unforgettable. When Premier Zhao gave a return party on 1l January, despite bitter cold and deep snow on the roads, which had not yet been cleared, and resulting in poor traffic conditions, the guests were unprece- dentedly enthusiastic. Quite a number of them had come by plane from elsewhere especially to attend the party. The big banquet room of the hotel was a sea of people, and at the end people had to wait more than half an hour to collect their hats and coats. An atmosphere of warm friendship pervaded the party. Premier Zhao said to the guests that this was the best-attended party given by China since the establishment of diplomat- ic relations between the two countries, and this showed that the friends of China were ever increasing in number. At the dinner given by the third group of the U.S.-China People's Friendship Association, Mrs Troy, chairman of the association, stressed in her warm and friendly speech the importance of developing friendship between the American and Chinese peoples. The warm welcome and affection shown to Premier Zhao when he visited the Sidwell Friends School vividly proves that Sino-U.S. friendship is already deep-rooted in the hearts of the next American generation. Viewing the future, the friendship between the peoples of the two countries will develop further. This is the inevitable trend of history. Zhao Addresses San Francisco Banquet OW131415 Beijing XINHUA Domestic Service in Chinese 0932 GMT 13 Jan 84 [Text] San Francisco, 12 Jan (XINHUA) -- Premier Zhao Ziyang said here today that China and the United States, being two big powers, bear especially heavy responsibilities for the maintenance of stability and peace in the Pacific region. He said: "The Pacific region, like others in the world, is fraught with crises and latent troubles.” Premier Zhao made this remark at the dinner given in his honor in San Francisco by the World Affairs Council, the Commonwealth Club and the San Francisco-Shanghai Friendship City Committee. About 1,000 people attended the dinner. Premier Zhao said: Superpower rivalry in the Pacific region is intensifying. "The sovereignty and territorial integrity of some countries have been flagrantly infringed and trampled upon. Some countries are still kept in a state of artificial division. A growing number of warships are plying the waters of the Pacific Ocean, and more and more missiles have been deployed on its periphery.” He pointed out: "The dark clouds of war are still hovering over us. The maintenance of stability and peace in the Pacific region is an urgent task. China and the United States, being the big powers on the opposite sides of the ocean, undoubtedly bear especially heavy responsibilities." Ll. 16 Jan 84 & 3 PRC INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS UNITED STATES Premier Zhao emphatically pointed out. "China's stand is that the Pacific Ocean should become a truly great and pacific ocean. The various countries in the Pacific region should strictly observe the principles of mutual respect for each others’ territorial integrity and sovereignty, mutual nonaggression, noninterference in each other's internal attairs, equality and mutual benefit, and peaceful coexistence. They should settle their disputes by peacetul means, without resorting to force or threats of torce. The arms race, and particularly the nuclear arms race, must be halted. Foreign military bases set up in other countries must be dismantled and foreign military forces stationed in other countries withdraw. Such acts as forcibly occupying the territories of other countries, infringing upon their sovereignty, and interfering in their internal affairs must be stopped. This is the only way to dispel the dark clouds over the Pacific Ocean, and avert crises and hidden troubles, so that the people in various countries may live in peace, engage in equitable and mutually beneficial cooperation, and build a happy life." Premier Zhao said: The American people also ardently cherish peace. They, too, hope that their peaceful life and achievements in construction will not be destroyed by war. He hoped that the American people will joint hands with the people of China and that the people in the Pacific region will join hands with the people of various countries in the world in the common endeavor to preserve peace in the Pacific region and in the world at large.
