China's state press barely mentions shocking revelation that Pres Jiang Zemin's newly delivered Boeing 767 had been surreptitiously loaded with dozens of listening devices while its interior was being outfitted last year in Texas; this is in sharp contrast with reaction last year when American spy plane collided with Chinese jet over international waters, and China's press was filled with angry rhetoric; change reflects fact that China's relationship with US has been changing dramatically, in tone if not substance, in last eight months; pragmatic reasons for change include China's hope that more conciliatary tone would help promote its views on divisive issue of Taiwan, to its desire to avoid distraction of international crises as it prepares to host Olympics in 2008; political analysts say equally important is that Jiang seeks to make his mark as architect of new type of foreign policy so that he can stay central to China's politics even after he must formally step down next year; photo (M)

New York Times/CBS News Poll shows Americans perceive Republicans as far more entangled in Enron scandal than Democrats, and their suspicion is growing that Bush administration is hiding something or lying about his own dealings with Enron before company filed for bankruptcy protection; that perception, even among majority of Republicans polled, could pose threat to Republican candidates in midterm elections, and undermine White House drive to portray Enron collapse as affecting Republicans and Democrats equally; Republican Congressional candidates begin midterm election year with albatross of being considered far more tied to Enron than their Democratic rivals; in last week alone, portion of people saying they are paying attention to Enron collapse has risen to three-fourths from two-thirds, and more people view it as Republican problem; graph (M)
