RSSChina: Favored Nation
Jo | April 9, 2008
Oh Mrs. Clinton … tap tap … are you there?
You are saying you want Pres. GW Bush to boycott the opening games of the Olympics in China.
But — isn’t China a Most Favored Nation?
… and didn’t your husband continue China as such?
On May 31, 1996, President Clinton issued his determination to extend China’s waiver and most-favored-nation (MFN) status for another year; and, on June 21, 1996, he issued a determination renewing the trade agreement with China for another 3-year term (through January 31, 1998).
On June 27, 1996, the House failed to pass H.J.Res. 182, which would have disapproved the extension of China’s waiver and MFN status, thus allowing both to remain in force through July 2, 1997. The House did, however, adopt a resolution (H.Res. 461) calling on various committees to hold hearings and report out appropriate legislation to deal with China on a variety of issues, including trade, weapons proliferation, human rights, and military policy.
Take a Nap Darling.
