ideologies prevent lasting bridge
Sino-U.S. alliance 'unthinkable'
By MARK GREEN
Daily Collegian Staff Writer
The United States is on the verge of selling military
technology to the People’s Republic of China, but the
relationship between the two is not an alliance, said a
State Department representative.
“1 would describe the relationship between us and
China as consultative, not as an alliance,” Charles
Freeman, director of Chinese Affairs, said. “We never
contemplated an alliance with China. It’s
unthinkable.”
• However, he said, present relations could proceed
even to the point of entente, which Freeman defined as
an understanding between nations concerning their
policies towards Third World nations.
Freeman said his reasons against a Sino-American
alliance are two-fold.
First, there is too big a difference between the two
countries’ ideologies for a long-term alliance ever to be
considered, he said.
The second reason, Freeman said, is that it would de
mand too much of a new security responsibility for the
United States to take part in defending China’s exten-,

i The 30th annual Ag Hill Festival, spon
sored by the Agricultural Student Coun

race Room.
•The event originated in 1950 under the
direction of Emeritus Dean Russell B.
Dickerson and the late Paul H. Margolf.
It was designed to bridge the gap bet
ween faculty, staff members and
students within the College of
Agriculture. Today’s program has the
same motive, although the surroundings
have changed over the years.
• Festival chairman James Monte
spoke with retired Prof. Frank Anthony
and Robert Swope, assistant dean for
resident education, to find out the
history of the festival.

He said it would “mortgage American military
policy to the Sino-Russian dispute.”
“We’ve been very careful not to extend our coordina
tion efforts to the Sino-Russian conflict,” Freeman
said.
Since Secretary of Defense Harold Brown’s visit to
the People's Republic of China last January, the
United States and Chinese defense departments have
started to familiarize each other with their respective
policies and methods, Freeman said.
“We could now, if we wanted to, and I emphasize ‘if
we wanted to,’ initiate weapon sales to the Chinese
very quickly,” Freeman said.
Brown’s trip to China had been scheduled far in ad
vance, and had not meant to take on the tone it even
tually did, he said.
However, the Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan
on Christmas Eve of 1979 “gave Secretary Brown’s trip
a different character,” Freeman said.
As a result of the trip, some key changes were made
in our policies towards China, he said.

military supply equipment which would be available
for consideration, on a one-by-one basis, for sale to the
Chinese, Freeman said.
Freeman said this does not include weapons as such,
but rather military accessories such as radar, trucks
and Communications equipment.
Since that time, 35 licenses have been issued to com
panies which allows them to discuss sales with the
Chinese but not to actually complete the sales.
Earlier this year, the Department of Commerce took
China out from under the export control regulations by
which Russia arid other nations under the Warsaw
Tract are restricted. A new classification was invented
which allows the Commerce Department to develop an
independent export policy for China, he said.
The change of status allows the export of military
technology to China without the stipulation that China
prove the technology will be used only for civilian pur
poses, as it formerly had been, Freeman said.
“Russia has an absolutely overwhelming military
advantage over China,” Freeman said, “but over time
that superiority will erode.”
