Its time to act now and take decisive action. No more carrot and stick approach. Just as the United States brought pressure on the Soviet Union to allow Jews to emigrate and on South Africa to end apartheid. and on South Korea to become more democratic. we must keep up our pressure on China. Conditioning MFN for China provides the United States with the best leverage to improve human rights and send a strong signal about its weapons sales because preferential access to the United States market is critical to Chinas authoritative regime. Societies based on democratic principles and respect for basic human rights and freedoms make the best neighbors and the best trading partners.
