1989 / 0225
- Feb. 25 26, 1989: President George Bush
visits China. - The 40-hour visit in
Beijing is more like a stopover on the way
back from the funeral in Tokyo of Japanese
Emperor Hirohito. It ends up being his
only visit to China as president. Bush
does a live interview on China's Central
People's Television Broadcasting in front
of an estimated 600 million Chinese
viewers. The interview is immediately
followed by the Chinese-translated version
of Disney's "Mickey and Donald Show." The
president and First Lady Barbara Bush
visit Chongwenmen Church, where their
daughter was baptized as a teenager when
Bush headed the U.S. mission to China in
1974 and 1975. Bush invites renowned
physicist and prominent dissident Fang
Lizhi to a Texas-style barbecue at
Beijing's Great Wall Sheraton. The police
prevent Fang from attending, and the
Chinese government responds angrily to
what it sees as an affront. Bush meets
with Premier Li Peng, Party Secretary Zhao
and "paramount leader" Deng, who tells
Bush: "Since your visit is a working
visit, the protocol is simple. It is hoped
that you will be able to come to China for
an official visit at an appropriate time.
Slightly more than three months later Deng
orders Chinese soldiers to forcibly clear
TIANANMEN SQUARE of protesters, resulting
in hundreds, perhaps thousands, of deaths.
Under pressure from angry Americans, Bush
imposes economic sanctions.
