China policy

CHINA POLICY: Conservatives, who last year were divided on the question of continuing Most Favored Nation (MFN) trading status for mainland China, have come together to issue a "Statement of Principles on China Policy"-an agreement on steps to take against the increasingly powerful Communist regime, including some the Clinton Administration has rejected.

The statement says that trade with companies owned by the Chinese People's Liberation Army "should be discouraged," U.S. sales of weapons technology and supercomputers to China and China's sale of weapons technology to Third World nations should be stopped, and funding for China from U.S.-backed international groups such as the International Monetary Fund must be cut off. Signatories include Don Hodel of the Christian Coalition, Gary Bauer of the Family Research Council, Ed Feulner of the Heritage Foundation, Bill Bennett of Empower America, and Nina Shea of Freedom House.
