AMERICAN DRESSED AS UNCLE SAM EXPLAINS US PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION PROCEDURE DURING A RECEPTION BY US EMBASSY IN BEIJING.


U.S. citizen Jon Zatkin from San Francisco, California, dressed as Uncle Sam, explains to Chinese guests the procedure for the U.S. presidential election during a reception held by the U.S. Embassy in Beijing to celebrate the U.S. presidential election, November 8, 2000. The Chinese government has been careful to avoid stating a preferred outcome in the race, but Chinese political experts say Beijing is wary about statements by Republican candidate George W. Bush that support Taiwan.
