	LAT-990627
		At the beginning of Sasser's tenure, relations between the world's most powerful nation and its most populous one were in crisis.
		Sasser helped patch up Sino-American ties, enough for Chinese President Jiang Zemin to make a historic trip to the U.S. a year later, in 1997, and for Clinton to come to China last June--a triumphant visit that was the first by a U.S. president to China since the Tiananmen Square massacre of 1989.
		Despite these troubles, Sasser, a Tennessean who exudes Southern gentility, is going ahead with his previously announced plans to leave his post and return to the United States.

		Sasser said he believes the Chinese government sanctioned the demonstrations, but he thinks officials were surprised by the ferocity and numbers of protesters.
		Sasser discounted the notion that the Chinese government has allowed the demonstrations to continue so students could release pent-up steam before the June 4 anniversary of the infamous democracy demonstration at Tiananmen Square.

		Sasser frequently twits his dignified opponent by referring to him grandly as "William E. Brock the Third" and "the candy man from Lookout Mountain" to underscore Brock's wealth as heir to a candy fortune and his place of residence: the posh blueblood area of Chattanooga.
		However, a looming Carter landslide in the state and Sasser's tireless and folksy campaign are genuinely formidable obstacles for Brock to overcome.
		Cries Sasser, a lawyer and former state Democratic chairman who grew up on a Tennessee farm, "How can a millionaire know the plight of the poor, the uneducated, the jobless, the sick?" His adroit use of sarcasm against the low-keyed Brock has been withering.

		Two authorities on China, Minxin Pei and James Sasser, spoke, debated, and answered the questions of faculty and students on China’s current and possible future economic and social status in front of a full audience in the Science Center auditorium.
		Despite these economic strides, Senator Sasser said that he doubted China’s economic growth rate would remain at its current high percentage, and he listed several problems China is encountering as a result of its rapid economic success.
		He warned that the growth in economy and income is causing social dislocation: coastal areas are becoming much richer than the interior of the country, the population has shifted drastically from rural to urban areas, and pollution continues to be a serious problem.

		JAMES SASSER: Well Jim, I think that's what diplomacy is all about, trying to work out some sort of compromise, some kind of solution, that both sides can live with.
		I think we have been arguing somewhat about semantics here for a number of days and finally reached a point where there was agreement, and both sides and particularly the Chinese, I think, thought they came out of it with their face in tact.
