How does Clark attacking a US client dictatorship in Taiwan NOT indicate
alliance with the CCP on the mainland?  Admittedly, the dynamics of the
democracy movement in Taiwan, which had independence-oriented views, might
not have been perfectly in line with CCP views, but emphasizing the
dictatorial aspects of Taiwan was very important at the time for deflecting
criticism from China in the aftermath of Tienamen Square.
