Glen Jennings

Dec 1992

Abstract:

In his April 1992 visit to China to open Australia’s $100 million embassy in Beijing, Foreign Affairs Minister Senator Gareth Evans lamented that the ongoing dialogue with China on human rights had ‘slowed down’. He further observed that this slow-down characterizes the experience of every country’ in human rights dealings with the People’s Republic, especially since the United States Congress failed in early 1992 to override Presidential veto and force through a bill that would have imposed human rights conditions on China’s Most Favoured Nation (MFN) status.
