MFN STATUS FOR CHINA: POST USSR COUP ASSESSMENT OF POSITION
1.
WE WOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR YOUR ASSESSMENT OF HOW THE MFN ISSUE WILL PLAY FOLLOWING THE EVENTS IN THE USSR. CONGRESS WOMAN PELOSI, WHO RECENTLY VISITED HONG KONG, HAS INDICATED THAT SHE BELIEVES THE MOMENTOUS EVENTS IN THE USSR COULD TIP THE BALANCE AGAINST UNCONDITIONAL RENEWAL. IS THERE ANY EVIDENCE THAT THE DEMOCRATS WOULD HAVE MORE SUCCESS NOW IF THEY MOUNTED A SERIOUS CAMPAIGN TO ATTACH CONDITIONS OR THAT THE PRESIDENT MAY BE LOSING SUPPORT IN THE SENATE FOR HIS STAND ON THE ISSUE?
