"They (Asians) are very sensitive about any insecurities or threats to security that might destabilize the economic miracles that have taken place in Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore and Taiwan," Walker emphasized. Walker said the Japanese delegates were especially perplexed at the "give-away" direction of U.S. policy in meeting Chinese conditions Thev J (Japanese) feel that any abandonment of our security agreements with Taiwan would undercut U.S. credibility and the security arrangement that the U.S. has with Japan, he added.

"We very seldom hear about Peking meeting our conditions for the extension of diplomatic recognition," Walker said. "What about greater press freedom for U.S. reporters in China and greater mobility for all foreign visitors in China?"
