CHINA
16-17 Visit of Chinese Prime Minister's Visit
17 Secretary's Contact with Foreign Minister
................
QUESTION: Quick questions, one, as you know, the Chinese Prime Minister Zhu Rongji is supposed to come into town next week. I'm wondering if Secretary Albright has been in touch at all with the Chinese Government, and whether you would anticipate that that trip would go forward if the bombing mission is still going?
MR. RUBIN: We have no indication that the trip isn't going forward. She's been in touch with Foreign Minister Tang on a number of subjects recently, and we have no indication that the trip isn't going forward.
(The briefing concluded at 1:30 P.M.)
