Talking Points for Your Meeting with Chinese Vice Premier Geng Biao Wednesday, May 28, 1:30 P . M., Roosevelt Room (U)

Vice Premier Geng Biao (pronounced: gung) , a member of the Politburo and Secretary General of the Military Commission of the Chinese Communist Party, is in charge of implementing China's national defense policies. Although he has been crit­icized in the Party recently for high living, Geng is close to Vice Premier Deng and remains at age 71 an experienced and influential soldier and diplomat. (C)

Geng is returning Harold Brown's January visit. He is here to discuss further broadening of our , defense relationship and to find out what specific items of civilian technology and military equipment we are prepared to sell to China. Although we have been responsive to their requests, the Chinese will be disappointed that we are not willing, at least at this stage, to go so far as to sell jet engines for their military aircraft. (C)

You will meet with Geng for 15 minutes before the President's drop by. In that brief period I recommend you stress your personal involvement in US-China relations and in the effort Vice Premier Geng is most concerned with -- the "normalization" of our defense relationship. You should then address the perennial Chinese concern about the conatancy of our foreign policy, a concern heightened by recent erroneous 'reports that we are encouraging the ASEAN countries to accommodate to the Vietnamese occupation of Kampuchea.

The Chinese remember that China policy has been an emotional issue in several Presidential campaigns going back to 1952. They therefore tend to worry more than many other countries that domestic political pressures might adversely affect our ability to conduct foreign policy. You may therefore wish to comment on the domestic scene emphasizing the American people's broadly-based support for the expanding US-China relationship and for the policies and defense spending necessary to resist Soviet challenges. (C)

I have attached at Tab A a Presentation on World Affairs modeled on a similar paper prepared for your visit to China last year. You may wish to draw on that if there is time after the

PRESENTATION ON WORLD AFFAIRS

Introduction

Much has happened since my visit to China last August:

• the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the resultant worldwide condemnation of Soviet aggression (UN vote and Islamic summit);

• gradual disintegration of the Iranian political system and ·the holding of our hostages;

• a change of government in India;

• emergence of an independent Zimbabwe;

• death of Tito;

• developments on the Korean peninsula;

• temporary postponement of SALT;

• your Fifth Plenum, with its important policy pronouncements and some changes in our personnel.

Much remains the same:

• Vietnam still seeks to dominate Kampuchea militarily, '. and as we thought last August, the resistance forces

continue their opposition, exacting a high price from the Vietnamese;

• the Camp David accords still govern the search for a Mideast peace accord;

• in spite of some differences with our Allies over the Mideast, progress continues to be made toward strengthening NATO;

There have also been constructive developments in Sino­American relations:

• Brown trip and decision to broaden defense relationship including the sale of certain types of military equipment to· PRe;

• signing of trade agreement and extension of MFN early this year (as you indicated would happen last August) ;

DECLASSIF1ED ..--sE€RE'!' ..s

• negotiations on Civair, maritime agreements and EXIM loans are going forward;

• PRC accession to IMF, World Bank membership which we welcome;

• cultural, scientific exchanges continue to flourish;

• opening of PRC Consulates in Houston and San Francisco, and through mutual effort, progress can be made swiftly to alleviate space and accommodation problems in Beijing, Houston, and San Francisco;

• Most importantly, US and PRC are cooperating on Afghanistan. PRC is not going to the Olympics. PRC has good relations with Zia and is seeking to improve relations with India. These independent PRC moves converge with our policies.

US Foreign Policy

Last August, you reviewed with Deng and Hua our foreign policy and national security policy. Harold Brown reiterated many of the same points in the wake of Afghanistan. And Ed Muskie will have briefed Geng on our global strategy, with particular reference to his Vienna meeting with Brezhnev, Southwest Asia, and Indochina.

You therefore may wish to give one- to two .... sentence authoritative summaries of our policy on each of the key global issues to aSsure the Chinese of the continuity and coherence of our policy •

. Let us be clear about the priority we assign to secur­ing a Soviet military withdrawal from Afghanistan and in pursuit of that objective, making Moscow pay a very high price, a far higher price than they expected, in their effort to occupy Afghanistan. We have undertaken numerous measures to this end -- Olympic boycott, restricted grain . sales and technology transfers.

We also attach high priority to the return of our hostages in Iran. The real threat to Iran, of course, is the Soviet Union, and resolution of the hostage issue would enable Iran to devote its attention to its ' real security concerns.

In pursuing our objectives in Southwest Asia, we recognize that our own behavior and rhetoric must not provoke what we seek to deter. Prudence and steadiness are crucial.

We also recognize the relationship between the Iranian­Afghan situation and the Palestinian issue. Until progress on the Palestinian question is made, it will be hard to galvanize proper united Arab attention to the Soviet threat to the region. We will continue to give proper attention to the Mideast and the Palestinian question.

In the wake of Tito's death and Afghanistan, I recently assured the leaders in Belgrade of our continued com­mitment to the independence of Yugoslavia.

In South Asia, we recognize the need to give adequate backing to Pakistan, in which the PRe also has an im­portant role to play . . We also believe it essential that India play a more assertive role in resisting Soviet efforts to dominate the region, and with that purpose in mind, we are cultivating good relations with Madame Gandhi.

On In~ochina, our view remains unchanged. We are very concerned with the increased Soviet presence in Vietnam. We will not recognize the Heng Samrin regime. We seek a Kampuchea that is not threatening to either Thailand or Vietnam. To achieve this goal, maximum pressure must continue to be exerted on Hanoi. In order to convince Hanoi and their Soviet backers that they cannot achieve their objectives in Kampuchea, the resistance. forces playa positive role. Ultimately, an international conference on the situation may prove desirable.

We approach the Indochina situation recognizing that the ASEAN states must play the genuine, leading role. In making decisions on tactics (such as how we will vote on the Kampuchean credential issue in the UNGA next fall) you can be sure we will be guided by the views expressed by ASEAN.

Moreover, we recognize the link between our approach to the Kampuchean situation and the Afghan situation. Any sign of yielding to Vietnamese occupation of Kam­puchea or pressuring Thailand will embolden the Soviets in Afghanistan, discourage Pakistan, and dishearten the Afghan rebels.

We face a delicate · situation in South Korea. Our Ally is encountering domestic uncertainties, but our commit­ment to the defense of the South in case of an attack

"SEC~

from the North is unshakable. tve have talked to the PRC many timesabdut our shared interest in ' the maintenance of stability on the' Peninsula.

Bilateral Relations

PRe Vice Foreign 14inister Zhang Wenjin was recently here to revi,ew bilateral matters as well as our common strategic interests. I need not repeat those con-versations. '

By and large,we are pleased with 'the 'rapid development of our economic, scientific, ' cultural, and now military contacts. You may wish to note 'you are particularly pleased that the Civil Air negotiations are going well and that we may have an agreement soon. ' ' ,

To be sure, irritants eXist from time to time. But as long as we deal with them swiftly, frankly, and within the framework of our normalizati'onagreement, our relationship will move forward. "

In Beijing, you said "Normalization can mean a lot, or it can mean a little". In the months since the August visit, it is clear both sides want an enduring, ex­tensiverelationship. The entire Administration and the public support this policy.

And our relationship will continue to grow because it is based on realism, equality, .and a long-term vision of the strategic importance of our strengthened ties.

- BOSTON, May 21 - An important - phenomenon in the Middle East prob-" "-tern is the difference between attitudes : ,'lnside Israel and among Israel's or­

ganized supporters in the United ,States. In Israel one finds vigorous de­bate, Criticism of policy, adjustment

- 'to changed realities. In the American "" groups there is unchanging refusal to ,: ' disagree publicly with whatever an Is­~ - raeti Government does. , . A striking example was provided re­

cently by Theodore R. Mann, chair­~'- man of the Conference of Presidents of !:, ,Major American Jewish Organiza­'-:" tions. Mr, Mann wrote an article for >: 'I'he Wall Street Journal denying that ;-,-: the Begin Government's policy of L .. bUilding settlements in the occupied

-:- West Bank is "an obstacle to peace." , ,;:',': " ·'It is Arab refusal to accept Israel,"

I 'O J ,l ' ~ Mr. Mann said, "not the settlements, . !" ., that is and always has been the only

!- .' - ~ obstacle to peace. It is Arab unwilling­::Ni I:-ness to accept Israel's legitimacy, not - ' . ~ 'Z, the'Palestinian issue' that is the heart . J \! '" of the problem in the Middle East." -, , :; '-';'" Mr. Mann made a sensitive point ­!; /;' about the Camp David plan for West

." '," I' ;, _.Bank autonomy. Its purpose, he said, j~~ " was "to give Israelis and Palestinians r; 'I' ; the opportunity to overcome the psy­, f. I, ., chological barriers that have sepa­" . rated them." But can he really believe l! l ~I ' that psychological acceptance is en-

~'\' l banced when one side claims, and ex- -­

./ ~ .:' ercises, the right to plant settlements •. . • by armed force wherever it wishes in i 'disputed territory?

"Israel's settlements are an obsta­cle to the P.L.O.," Mr. Mann wrote,

, "not to peace." That is, he believes the • settlements are effective devices • against terrorism or military assault • on Israel. But militarily or politically,

that is a dubious proposition. Many military experts in Israel

• think the settlements of the Begin years, most of them isolated outposts of religious zealots, are in fact a se­_(:urity burden. In the event of a sur­prise attack, Israel's small standing army would have to send units to

Israel , And Its Friends

many remote points to defend these settlements. More likely the high com­mand would order them evacuated -

. as it did some front-line settlements on the Golan Heights in the 1973 war .

Politically, the settlement policy has been a boon to the extreme ele­ments of the P.L.O. The most moder­ate Palestinians have been outraged at the imposition of settlements in their midst.

"Israel is not so suicidal." Mr. Mann said. "as to withdraw from territories that separate her from her avowed enemies in the absence of peace." ,Certainly peace and security guarantees should accompany with­drawal. But how can that mutual ar­rangement be approached when Israel follows a settlement policy that seems to exclude withdrawal forever?

Mutuality has to be the basis for solving any such political conflict. Palestinians are .closer now than they have ever been to doing what Mr. Mann rightly says they must: accept Israel. They can go the rest 'of the way only when Israel accepts their political reality - when Israel's friends do not dismiss the "Palestinian issue."

Theodore Mann very likely under­stands all this, or so I suspect. A pre­eminent American Jewish leader, he has the reputation of being a sensible and sensitive person. But he operates

within a tradition that evidently de­mands solidarity above all.

There Is a tragic cost to Israel- the adjective is not too strong - in the American Jewish community's reluc­tance to apply its usual test of wisdom to Israeli Government polley.

The other day a 17"year-old Palestin­ian boy, Tariq Shumali, was charged with throwing a stone at the car of the Israeli military governor in Bethle­hem. He was so severely beaten by Is­raeli soldiers that he needed surgery . Then his whole family, his parents and ,two sisters, were taken from .their middle-class home and dumped in a roofless mud hut in an abandoned refu­gee camp near the Dead Sea.

Collective punishment and savage beating for throwing a stone at an Is­raeli occupier - surely that is not Theodore Mann's dream of Zionism. I see in the story an endless cycle of re­pression and violence, destroying the moral and eventually the political fal>­ric ofIsraet. .

That is the fear not Just of a com- ' mentator with affection for Israel but of prominent Israelis. This week 250 of them, including two former chiefs of military intelligence" signed a power­ful statement calling for "peace and security through compromise" on ter­ritorial issues. One of its drafters said it recognized "that two peoples live be­tween the Mediterranean and the Jor­dan River-. "

"Extremists in the public and the Government distort Zionism," said the statement. "Their way endangers . and isolates Israel, undermining the ethical basis for our claims to a life of peace and security. Their way leads to divisions within the Jewish people, alienates friends of Israel and strengthens the extremists among our enemies."

The statement called for a "return to mainstream Zionism" and said it was time for those who agreed to "stand up and be counted." Among them should be Theodore Mann and other American Jewish leaders.

Situation in Iran as of 0500 EDT, May 23, 1980

(C) Further Delay on U.K. Sanctions

The U .K .. sanctions legislation against Iran will not.' go into effect· until the implementing order is cleared with a~G and approved by the House of Co~~ons. Parliamentary clearance is expected to last about a week until -May 30. Contracts with Iran signed prior to this date will not be affected by the sanctions legislation.

- (C) Trial of the Hostages

A Western Embassy in Tehran reports that the clergy-backed Islamic Republic Party and other associated parties are re­portedly, urging in increasingly stronger terms that the re­lease of the hostages occur only after their trial and some sort of -financial "settlement", possibly the unfreezing of assets. These same groups are also calling for economic counter-sanctions against Western nations. One measure con­sidered 'would be to hike oil prices' again. Career professionals at the National Iranian Oi:-1· Company have re­portedly been making a concerted effort with the Revolutionary

-Council · to convince the Council that additional raises would make it even more difficult for NIOC to sell its oil to existing customers. Today, Reuter reports Iran is not going to raise prices any _further at the moment . .

(U) Sanctions

Iranian reaction to the EC sanctions has been muted. Iranian leaders have made no public co~~ent on yesterday's imposition of sanctions'.

Japan's cabinet today formally imposed sanc~ions, retroactive to November~. The measures will take effect June 2.

(U) parliamentary Inauguration

The Revolutionary Council met yesterday and reaffirmed the timetable for the inauguration of the new Parliament. Ac­cording to Council Spokesman Habib~, the deputies will be received by Khomeini on May 25, then proceed to the Parliament for two days of briefing by the Council prior to the formal inauguration on May 2B. Habibi said the Revolutionary Council would continue its work ~ntil the Parliament opens.

(U) Appointment of Prime Minister to be Discussed

A UP! report datelined Tehran says that the Revolutionary Council will meet with Ayatollah Khomeini Saturday in a . session expected to deal with the appointment of a prime minister. The report is attributed to Khomeini's son Ahmad who announced plans for the meeting in an interview with Pars News Agency. Earlier in the day, Khorneini and his son met

~ with .President Bani Sadr for a report on the Kurdistan 8i tuB:tion. ·

Retired Admiral Ahmad l-ladani, one of the politicians reportedly . approached by Bani'Sadr to become Prime Minister, escaped an ··· .. assassination attempt eight days ago, the Tehran paper Barndad

reported. -

. (U) Travel of U.N. Emissary to Tehran

. Syrian dipiomat Abid Oaoudy left Damascus yesterday for a - meeting in Geneva with U.N. Secretary General Kurt Waldheim before flying to Iran. Daoudy, a member of the five man U.N. Commission that visited Iran in March, is slated to arrive in Tehran on Saturday to discuss the resumption of the Comrnissi9n's work. Iran continues to insist that Oaoudy's mission "is complet7ly separate" from the hostage issue.

(U) Soviet-Iranian. Shipping . Talks to Begin

Pars reports that a Soviet delegation will arrive in Tehran to participate in a session for the "expansion of port and shipping cooperation" between Iran and the USSR. The two sides will negotiate shipping and transportation between Baku and the Iranian ports of Anza1i and Now Shahr.

(U) Iranians lJlarch to Support "Strq,ggle" of American Blacks

Thousands of Iranians rallied today in nationwide protests . called by Islamic religious leaders "to support the brave struggle of the 1\..'1Ierican blacks," an obvious reference to the riots of Miami. The main anti-American demonstration was in Tehran, where thousands gathered at Tehran university for Friday prayers before marching to the Embassy. Other rallies were .scheduled in the cities where the hostages have reportedly been moved.
