Clinton walking on runway with Philippines Vice President Joseph Estrada, Manila,  Nov 12, 1996 - POOL\u003cbr/\u003eEnglish/Nat\u003cbr/\u003ePresident Clinton's Asia tour has taken him far from the source of allegations of sexual  abuse and illegal information gathering at home.  But his trip is sure to highlight another  set of allegations.\u003cbr/\u003eAsian-American political contributions to the Clinton campaign are coming under  unprecedented scrutiny.\u003cbr/\u003eAnd Clinton may have to admit that he's been the victim of  a massive Chinese  espionage operation intended to gather top secret information on American trade and  economic policy.\u003cbr/\u003eHi, is Mr Woods in?\u003cbr/\u003eNo, he's not.\u003cbr/\u003eJames Wood, director of the American Institute in Taiwan, is not an easy man to talk  to.\u003cbr/\u003eU-S Justice officials are investigating allegations that Wood attempted to raise money  from Taiwanese sources for the Democratic National Committee during an official visit to  Taiwan earlier this year.  \u003cbr/\u003eWood, who is based in Washington D-C, has refused to comment.  \u003cbr/\u003eState Department Spokesman Nicholas Burns announced on October 28th that  complaints against Wood were first reported in June and referred to the U-S Justice  Department.\u003cbr/\u003eA rash of Taiwanese news reports alleged that money quietly passed from Taiwan's  ruling Kuomintang party coffers into Clinton's campaign chest. \u003cbr/\u003eBut the party's Secretary General,Wu Poh-hsiung, denies making any contributions,  which he acknowledged would be illegal under US law.  \u003cbr/\u003eHowever, a Kuomintang official admits he met with a former White House staff member   who has solicited funds for the Clinton campaign in the past, although campaign  contributions weren't on the agenda.\u003cbr/\u003eAcross Asia, there are allegations that the National Democratic Committee leaned on  Asian donors, hinting that contributions would be returned with favours.  \u003cbr/\u003eJohn Robinson was the Senior Director of Economic Policy for the National Security  Council under former Republican President  Ronald Reagan.  \u003cbr/\u003eI think legitimate questions have been raised concerning direction of US policy both in  political-military terms as well as economic toward Indonesia, Vietnam and at least  some questions regarding Taiwan as well, that are probably going to be the subject of  multiple House and Senate hearings when the Congress reconvenes at the end of  January.\u003cbr/\u003eSUPERCAPTION: John Robinson, Senior Director of Economic Policy for the National  Security Council under former President Reagan\u003cbr/\u003eThe Taiwanese allegations are small time compared to the rumours flying around  Indonesia.  \u003cbr/\u003eIndonesia's giant Lippo group owned by the Riady family, allegedly sought to influence  Clinton by donating about a (m) million dollars to the Democratic Party.  \u003cbr/\u003eTheir secret weapon: John Huang.  \u003cbr/\u003e(voice of reporter) Mr Huang, did you do anything wrong?\u003cbr/\u003eA former Taiwanese air force officer, born in China, he joined the Hong Kong Chinese  Bank owned by Lippo and in the mid-1980s moved to Little Rock, Arkansas, helping  establish Lippo's operations in Arkansas and getting to know Bill and Hillary Clinton  well in their home city.\u003cbr/\u003eHe was appointed by President Clinton to a senior position in the Commerce  Department in Washington and was at former Commerce Secretary Ron Brown's side  during his trips to China. \u003cbr/\u003eHuang most certainly had access to highly confidential and sensitive trade information.\u003cbr/\u003eHuang's trips and advocation for certain Asian trade policies have on several instances  coincided with deals made by commercial entities he once worked for.   \u003cbr/\u003eVarious agencies and congressional committees are now investigating Huang to see  whether his activities were illegal.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Lippo Group reportedly has some astonishing 6.9 billion dollar portfolio in Vietnam  in real estate and other investments there. It was, again according to press reports, --  on the second day of John Huang's tenure at the Commerce Department that he  became quite active in pressing for trade liberalisation with Vietnam.\u003cbr/\u003eSUPERCAPTION: John Robinson, Senior Director of Economic Policy for the National  Security Council under former President Reagan\u003cbr/\u003eAsian-American finances have been tapped this year as never before by Huang who has  raised about five (m) million dollars on behalf of the Democratic Party -- including the  cash from the Lippo Group.  \u003cbr/\u003eSome of the donations were illegal and in the past month the Democrats have returned  half a (m) million dollars.\u003cbr/\u003eThe U-S has been involved in protracted trade negotiations with China and discussion of  intellectual property rights.\u003cbr/\u003eThe House Oversight committee which resumes in January will focus on the possibility  of the \"People's Republic of China's Intelligence Penetration\" of the Clinton  Administration. \u003cbr/\u003eIt's suggested that Huang- who was given top-secret security clearance without  background checks by the FBI-- could be at the center of  a highly effective Chinese  espionage operation which provided China advance notice of America's negotiating  positions in trade and economic talks.   \u003cbr/\u003eHuang has visited the Oval office at least 78 times this year alone.\u003cbr/\u003eWhile it is not certain whether Huang has done anything illegal, the White House is  clearly worried about the wisdom of having a Chinese born former Indonesian  businessman so closely associated with the President.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton
