Ravi: <<Idealism in a non-ideal world will NOT work.>> How true!. Foreign policy decisions are made in the interest of the dispensing country. Morality, right or wrong are not considerations. That is the reason why Chinese got the MFN status. Just consider: China at the time it was given MFN status was a nuclear power, though not a democratic country. Nuclear China was an unquantified entity at that time. US desperately wanted some kind of contact with the Chinese in order to quantify and characterize it and it is easier to deal with a known entity than an unknown entity. The contacts with the Chinese had to be sweetened with MFN status for the contact to work. Chinese characteristically are/were a walled-in people ( no insult is intended) , "pure" in race, ancient in civilization and politically autistic. Chinese political system was the least of the consideration, when US gave them the MFN status. I hope you didn't mind that I abbreviated your name. JPR
