DECLARATION OF OLIVIER DUPUIS, SECRETARY OF THE RADICAL PARTY AND MEP

Rome - April 19, 1998. "In less than six months, the United States has been able to obtain the expulsion - and not the release as firmly states Mr, Wei - of the two leaders of the opposition to the dictatorial regime of Beijing, Wei Jingsheng last November and Wang Dan today.

These expulsions, like those during the Soviet regime, do not mean that Communist rulers are open to democracy and the rule of law; nevertheless they demonstrate that, in dealing with Beijing, policies other than the EU and its Member States' systematic agreement on any Chinese requests are also possible.
