Over the past year. however. Beijing has demonstrated its intention to weaken the free market and to silence calls for political reform. MFN is not supposed to be extended to centralized economies unless that country has freedom of emigration. We are very strict about it when it comes to the Soviet Union. Why is China any different? We say to the Soviet Union. "Unless you have freedom to emigrate and not only in practice but that that freedom to emigrate is codified by your law. then you are not entitled to Most Favored Nation status." for China. There are those who say if we are to harsh with China. they may unilaterally cut off MFN with us. I do not think so.
