1 BEIJING, China (CNN Thursday, May 13, 2004) - A Beijing court has sentenced a U.S.-based Chinese dissident to five years in prison after convicting him of espionage and illegal border crossing, his lawyer said.

2 yang Jianli has already been imprisoned in Beijing for more than two years.

3 He will not receive credit for time served, according to his U.S.-based attorney Jared Genser. Yang, a Chinese scholar living in the Boston area with permanent U.S. residency, was arrested in April 2002 on charges of using a friend's passport to enter China and traveling with a fake identity card for a week to observe labor unrest in northeastern China.

4 Genser said the spying charge was related to a small foundation that Yang ran from his home from 1992 to 1993.

5 The Chinese government charged that he received $400 in funding from a person in Taiwan who had ties a political party there.

6 The court has five days to deliver the verdict personally to Yang or a family member, and Yang will have another 10 days to appeal.

7 He was indicted last July in Beijing after spending more than a year in jail, and a secretive three-hour trial was held a month later.

8 No verdict was released after the brief trial and no observers were allowed in the courtroom because the case reportedly involved state secrets, Yang's attorney, Mo Shaoping, said at the time.

9 U.S. embassy officials had sought to attend the trial without success, Mo said.

10 According to Genser, a verdict in the case was due by December of last year - the deadline under Chinese law. In March, Yang staged a three-day protest from prison because of the delay.

11 Yang operates the Boston-based Foundation for China in the 21st Century and has been blacklisted by Chinese authorities since 1989 for his participation in pro-democracy demonstrations.

12 The U.S. Senate last summer condemned Yang's lengthy detention and called for his immediate and unconditional release.

The author's attitude towards Beijing court is ______.

A．objective

B．appreciative

C．critical

D．sarcastic

its political development, the United Daily News invited him to write a guest column. Gang quickly discovered, however, that there was a huge gap between his views and those of his Taiwanese comrades.

The result: The Beijing University researcher came in for stinging criticism in the same newspaper. One critic asked how someone from the university whose students launched China's historic prodemocracy movement of May 4, 1919, could argue that things such as national and economic development should take precedence over democracy. The episode illustrated both the problems and the promise of educational exchanges across the Taiwan Strait.

Gang was nevertheless just the first of what may soon be a steady trickle of students, teachers and researchers taking part in educational exchanges. Until now, these have been limited to brief conferences and getting-to-know-you tours of each side's educational centers. But now Taipei and Beijing are allowing longer stays for study and research a significant breakthrough that could help reduce the two sides' many differences.

Ironically, the exchanges are gaining momentum despite recent cross-strait tensions. In mid-January, university presidents and administrators from two dozen educational institutions in China met their Taiwanese counterpart for 10 days at National Cheng Kung University in the southern city of Tainan. They discussed how to move from perfunctory to substantive exchanges. "In the past, academics were led by politics," says Wu Jin, the university's president. "This is not right. We should deal with academics and politics separately."

The conference concluded with a politically neutral statement with the bland title: To Create the 21st Century for the Chinese People Through Academic Cooperation. In it, the presidents of leading schools in Taiwan and prestigious mainland institutions agreed to open teaching posts in each others' universities, cooperate on research projects and open doors for students to study on both sides.

Weng Shilie, an engineering professor who's president of Shanghai's Jiaotong University, said in an interview that the next time he see Chinese President Jiang Zemin, who is a Jiaotong alumnus, he will brief him on the latest developments in cross-strait exchanges in education. "Education is forever," says Weng, implying that political problems are merely temporary. Temporary or not, the obstacles to cooperation remain formidable. Neither side recognizes the other's academic credentials and both governments impose paralyzing restrictions on students. In Taiwan, screening committees at two ministries must vet applications from mainland-Chinese students. Taipei allowed an estimated 6,000 Chinese residents to visit Taiwan for education and cultural exchanges last year, an increase of 50% over 1994. Most were athletes, performing artists and scholars attending conferences.

Following Gang's three-month stay last year, Taiwan agreed to let 14 graduate researchers come from China to study; the first are expected to arrive in March. They will research Taiwan-related topics at nine universities. Each student will receive a monthly scholarship of NT ＄15,000 (＄546) for his first four months, a round-trip air ticket, accommodation and health insurance. Education officials in Taipei say they hope to increase the number of scholarships to 20 next year. "We have opened the door," says Bruce Wu, who administers the scholarships from the Chinese Development Fund of the Mainland Affairs Council, a cabinet-level agency in Taipei. "Everything now depends on China's cooperation."

Given the political stalemate between Taipei and Beijing, however, skepticism abounds. In practice, says political scientist Lu Ya-li of National Taiwan University, it is very difficult for the two sides to treat education in a politically neutral w

W: Thank you, Pat.

M: Now Chris, you've been working for the Canadian Export Development Agency for three years now. What does your job involve？

W: Well, my particular brief is Asian section—especially Japan and China. Now we work with Canadian firms explaining how they can start up or develop their export trade in these countries. One of my main responsibilities is to set up trade fairs so that our companies can exhibit their goods in these other countries.

M: Right. Sounds like a very demanding job. How do you cope with the pressure？

W: At first I didn't. It was very difficult because there were so many new things to learn and I found especially that negotiating was the hardest. It was something that didn't come to me naturally, but you get used to it.

M: What's the secret？

W: Well, you have to be organized, especially well organized, but it does help of course that we're part of a team and when the going gets tough we give each other a lot of support and help each other out. That's important. I've just recently come back from Beijing where we sponsored an electronics fair there. We had a total of 55 stands and we had over 200,000 visitor.

M: Wow, it's amazing!

W: Yeah. It was very successful but it did represent twelve months of really intensive preparation and, as you can guess, a lot of difficult negotiations.

M: Twelve months？! I mean is that normal Chris？

W: Well it does vary a lot. Beijing was a particular large trade fair and it did take that kind of time. But some of our smaller fairs, Canton for example, we had a small computering exhibition there in 1999. That took five months of planning. That's ,not a hard and fast rule, but basically about six months, depending on the kind of product being, exhibited, the network of contacts we already have in the host country, the location, things like that.

M: Well I see that, Now tell me Chris, you've just got back from Beijing. Where to next？

W: My next trip is to Tokyo in a couple of weeks. We're setting up a fair there to promote Canadian fashions and design. Fashion and design's new market for me and also for the agency. It's going to be a big challenge for us, but I'm really excited about it.
