For years. MFN status was not extended to the Soviet Union. and has not been yet. because the Soviets never approved the trade agreement. The Soviets are now seemingly allowing free emigration. China also allows free emigration. Chinas problem is not that her people cannot get out. the world will not take them in. They use up their quota in the United States every year as to how many Chinese we let in. They have free emigration. If we want to enter into a debate about changing the standards of most favored nation. that is a fair debate. Whether or not we should change it ad hoc for one country. because we are mad at the country. is another matter.
