Approval of mostfavorednation status for the PRC will encourage U.S. firms to intensify their efforts to secure a substantial portion of the possibly huge Chinese market. During my visit to the PRC. VicePremier Deng Xiaoping personally assured me that the PRC would comply with the provisions of the JacksonVanik with the emigration provisions of the JacksonVanik amendment. and. indeed. the Chinese Government maintained very liberal emigration practices during 1979. That compliance coupled with our own national interests should demonstrate that closer commercial relations between the two countries are in order for the 1980s. Closer trade relations can be the foundation for a lasting bond between the American and the Chinese people.
