Vice President George Bush assured China that the Administration will resist protectionist pressures in Congress aimed at slashing textile imports, U.S. officials said. Bush, on the second day of a six-day visit to China, held seven hours of talks with officials including Premier Zhao Ziyang and Communist Party chief Hu Yaobang. U.S. officials played down China’s longstanding objections to U.S. military aid to Taiwan. However, Zhao told Bush that Taiwan is “the major obstacle to Sino-U.S. relations.”
