NO NEW SANCTIONS PLANNED FOR CHINA

President Bush said Wednesday he plans no further sanctions against China although the administration retains serious concerns about violations of human rights there.

Even though Beijing has made "a number of limited positive steps" since the United States imposed sanctions against the Chinese government last year, "the effect of the positive steps has been diluted and in some cases negated by new restrictive measures," Bush said in a report to Congress on U.S.-China relations.
