China is the only country that has the worst record in all three areas. In response. I just want to remind my colleagues that according to the statutory emigration requirements of the JacksonVanik amendment. China is legally entitled to an unconditional extension on MFN. The JacksonVanik amendment says. if you are a Communist countryChina still isyou can still have mostfavorednation status if you allow free immigration. China. indeed. does that. The problem with Chinese immigration is not that China will not let enough people out. it is that the rest of the world will not let all the "3eople in that want to get out of China. If Congress wants the statutory conditions broadened. that is a fair debatebut it should be across the board and not focused specifically on China. In the meantime. applying these standards only to Chinas MFN status will do nothing to improve Chinas policies and only hurt United States economic interests.
