So, then, what do you make of the anti-US protests?


> BEIJING, May 5 (AFP) -

> For many students who took part in the violent anti-US protests after the
> NATO bombing of China's embassy in Belgrade anger has given way to study,
> job hunting and the dream of living abroad.

> The atmosphere on the campus of Beijing's People's University during this

> interest and almost no anger over the May 7, 1999 bombing.

And what do you think this means?


> His statements were widely reported in the Chinese press, as were

Is this Clinton's line or that of the Chinese press?
