US China relations--MFN and Clinton

Today we looked at Bill Clinton's handling of the Most Favorite Nation issue with the PRC in the aftermath of his election and Tiananmen Square.  Important to remember his stance on the "butchers of Beijing" during the campaign and how this shapes his perception of reality...Tonight read the speech he gave upon signing his executive order extending MFN to China for one year.  We'll talk about what he thinks he's doing vs. what he actually does by this action tomorrow.  Your mid-term will be on October 20, so plan ahead!  It will be during a long block, open book, open note...
