China tech debate could affect MFN status

Mon Jun 01 11:56:21 1998

WASHINGTON (AP) -- White House officials fear the latest
controversy over U.S.-Chinese relations could spill over into another area:
the upcoming debate in Congress about renewing most favored nation
(MFN) trade status for China. Trade experts say President Clinton may
face an embarrassing uphill fight or even a defeat on MFN because of the
contentious climate created by the allegations that: China tried to buy
influence through illegal U.S. campaign contributions. China gained
high-tech secrets after Clinton allowed a U.S. company, Loral Space &
Communications, (LOR) with strong Democratic ties -- and already under
investigation by the Justice Department -- to use a Chinese rocket to
launch a satellite. For the first time, Republican congressional leaders are
saying they might vote against MFN for China.
