MFN for China
Once again, Rupert Murdoch is right, with his reasons why most-favored-nation status should be continued with China (Commentary, June 24). For the first time in almost half a century, China is now seriously open for business to the Western world.
Americans stand to make great fortunes selling Western-style goods and services to over a billion people. They will gobble up American materialism. With global communication the way it is, there is no power in China that can hold down the bamboo curtain that has cut off views to the lifestyles America has to offer.
All we have to do is make the Chinese rich enough to afford our goods and services. An excellent way to do that is maintain MFN, so they can sell us stuff we no longer want to make, and have the money to buy the stuff we do want to make!
