I believe that a continuation of MFN for China is vital to advancing the cause of human rights and in supporting those Chinese who seek a modern. progressive China. The advocates of political and economic reform and of greater human rights depend on outside contacts and support. Cutting them off will weaken them while giving xenophobic hardliners a foreign scapegoat for their failing policies. History has shown that economic development provides the bedrock for political and social progress. It is essential that we maintain our trade and investment relations if the United States is to remain a positive force for progress in China.
