Most-favored-nation (MFN) status significantly affects bilateral relations between the US and the People's Republic of China (PRC), especially because of its impact on trade. So, what is MFN? MFN is a status given to US trading partners that allows goods imported from these MFN countries to enjoy nondiscriminatory treatment--that is, freedom from prohibitive discriminatory tariffs that would greatly reduce trading opportunities. For the PRC, this means that goods exported to the US would get the same treatment as those of about 180 other countries that enjoy this status. MFN status, therefore, enhances a country's ability to export goods to the US.

A comprehensive examination of America's relationship with China. Both addressing and looking beyond the annual debate on most-favored-nation trading status (MFN), the authors examine the complex economic, strategic, and philosophical issues confronting US policymakers in this critical relationship. The volume also explores the views of the Chinese people themselves, the changing human rights policies of the Chinese government, the political implications of the Jackson-Vanik amendment, and the internal deliberations within the Clinton administration on China policy. Paper edition (unseen), $12.95. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
