The visit of Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji
From 6 through 14 April 1999, Chinese Prime Minister Zhu Rongji is paying a controversial visit to the United States and Canada.

The visit comes at a time of heightened human rights repression in China, reports of theft of nuclear secrets from Los Alamos, increased missile threats against Taiwan, and a total lack of willingness by the Chinese to come to an accommodation with the Dalai Lama.
