Petition To Revoke China's MFN Trade Status
« on: April 09, 2001, 01:55:00 PM »
This came to me via E-Mail through my CAF squadron.

Don't know if it will help, but I'm doing it.

The sad bit is that even Bush, who is pretty right wing and supposedly a tough cookie, looks reluctant to mess with Chinas trade status.

Ah, economics before ideology. Long live capitalism

Done, although I disliked the right wing feel of the options.  Not only right wingers dislike our relationship with China.

Wobble,

China's brand of Communism is not the antithesis of Capitalism.  It is the antithesis of Democracy.  Santa was saying that the US should put morals ahead of dollars and do what is right, revoke China's MFN status, or better yet cease trading with them completely.  I agree with him.

Why do we trade with China but not Cuba?  Why is it the best way to change China's attitude with trade, but Cuba's with embargoes?

Is this just for revocation of MFN, or trade in general? If it's MFN... I think I may sign it. China has shown repeatedly that the priviledge does not in any way change their actions on the international scene. They've abused it too many times. Revoke it.

It it's trade in general, I would say that we best keep at least some trading partnership with China. Embargoes only strengthen the resolve of the government and people, and cause the innocent people of the nation to suffer.

Which of course is another point: Lift the Cuba embargo! (It didn't work with China, I know... worth a try though, what?)
