A human rights group estimates that nearly 50 Catholic leaders. including 13 bishops. are currently held in prison. Chinese Government intimidation of Chinese students in this country continues. including revoking passports. intrusive surveillance. termination of government stipends. restricting contact with family members. firing those with jobs back home. and revoking their special student status. MFN is technically linked to emigration. JacksonVanik requires the President to certify that emigration in China is reasonably free. While the numbers of emigrants from China may not have yet dropped. the Government has recently imposed restrictions on immigration that should mandate a withdrawal of MFN from Chinaas they will no doubt limit emigration. Students wishing to do graduate study abroad must first work in China for 5 years or repay the Government for the cost of their educationa condition which most Chinese students will be unable to meet. In addition. stiffer exit procedures have been imposed.
