China and MFN


Book Description




US-China Economic Relations


Book Description

Outright trade war between the world’s two largest economies would be devastating to the working people of both countries, as well as destructive to the future of the entire world economy. The costs of conflict between China and the United States far outweigh the current causes of dispute in their economic relationship. These costs would be both direct, in terms of short-term losses of growth and employment, and indirect, in terms of long-term damage to the world trading system, diminishing investment and efficiency. There are points of genuine dispute between the United States and China over their economic interaction. Even if their economic significance is often exaggerated, these are legitimate points of contention and have to be addressed in a constructive manner. The analyses in this volume aim to contribute to a more reality-based consideration of both countries’ enlightened self-interests, which would yield progress on points of dispute in a manner consistent with keeping the world economy open for business.




Effects of U. S. MFN on China (rev. Ed. )


Book Description

A perennial, high-profile issue in U.S.-China trade relations from 1989, the year of the Chinese government¿s suppression of political dissidents during and after the Tianamen Square incident, to 1997, has been the U.S. renewal of China¿s status for Most-Favored-Nation (MFN) duty treatment. Since 1989, the U.S. has renewed this status annually; however, each time the process for the renewal has occurred under strenuous discussion and debate between U.S. policy makers. It is likely these discussions will receive even more attention. This paper presents a background discussion of the recent history of China¿s MFN status, the composition of U.S. imports from China in 1995, and a brief summary of the literature examining this question.
