Most-Favored-Nation (Normal-Trade-Relations) Policy of the United States

Most-Favored-Nation Status of the People's Republic of China

Description: Particularly since the Tiananmen Square incident of June 4, 1989, the U.S. Congress has considered two diametrically opposed types of action regarding China's nondiscriminatory, or most-favored-nation (MFN; normal-trade-relations) tariff status in trade with the United States. One has been its total withdrawal, the other--of more recent origin--its extension on a permanent basis.

China's Most-Favored-Nation Status: U.S. Wheat, Corn, and Soybean Exports

Description: On May 31, the President formally recommended a one-year extension of most-favored-nation (MFN) treatment for China. [l] MFN treatment allows China's products to enter the United States at the same low tariff rates that apply to virtually all trading partners.

China has threatened to retaliate if the United States denies it MFN treatm… more

Most-Favored-Nation Status Policy of the United States

Legislative Procedure for Disapproving the Renewal of China's Most-Favored-Nation Status
