Bush to visit China at end of Asian tour

Vice-President George Bush will visit China early next month at the end of his current five-nation Pacific tour, the White House announced. Deputy Press Secretary Larry Speakes said China's objections to the proposed sale of US military spare parts to Taiwan were expected to come up in Mr. Bush's talks in Peking.
