The U.S. business community and the Clinton administration want to establish permanent normal trade relations with China, and to ensure China's entry into the World Trade Organization. But heightened tensions between China and Taiwan and election-year politics here in the U.S. are complicating the latest round of discussions over China's trade status. Diane and her guests discuss the latest developments in this debate.
Robert Kapp, former president of the United States-China Business Council
James Mann, author-in-residence at Johns Hopkins University's Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies; author of the new book, "The China Fantasy: How Our Leaders Explain Away Chinese Repression;" former Beijing bureau chief for the "Los Angeles Times." Other books include "About Face: A History of America's Curious Relationship with China."

As many as one in every 1,000 people has sensory experiences in which a visual, auditory or other stimulus also prompts an experience with another of the five senses. That is, some people "see" sounds, "taste" shapes, or "feel" colors, and these sensations are as real to them as any so-called normal sense perception. Diane and her guests discuss this phenomenon, which is called synesthesia.
Dr. Peter Grossenbacher, senior fellow at the National Institute of Mental Health
Carol Crane, psycholgist and synesthete
