Default Re: Gm letter to Suppliers

Clinton was undoubtedly strongly lobbied by American corporate interests to renew MFN for China. Why should the Chinese have sole access to all that near-slave labor? American companies wanted access to Chinese labor and that's why MFN gets renewed. Quid pro quo. You give me MFN status and I'll let you set up your factories in my country. It's just business.

Remember, it was President Nixon who first approached Communist China back in the early 1970s.
