Again there is more mention of restriction against certain imports produced by prison labor. The Customs Bureau has enforced Section 307 of the Tariff Act of 1930, which forbids imports made by forced of prison labor goods. Examples pf such forced labor are diesel engines manufactured by the Golden Horse Diesel Engine Factory, March twenty-third nineteen ninety-two; tea grown by the Red Star Tea Farm, July thirteenth nineteen ninety-two; sheepskin and leather processed by the Qinghai Hide and Garment Factory, July thirteenth nineteen ninety-two; and again iron pipe fittings manufactured by the Tianjin Malleable Iron Factory, April 29, 1996. On May 28, 1984, restrictions on the importation of Chinese munitions and ammunition.
In conjunction with the 1994 annual renewal of China’s most-favored-nation trade status, United States President Clinton prohibited the importing of arms and ammunition from the Peoples Republic of China. These are only some of the many economic restriction that have been placed against the People?s Republic of China. Talk about a very complex system of checks and balances, used to keep the economic practices of China under control.
In Conclusion, it should now be obvious that the issues around China?s most-favored-nation trade status are both very complex and multi-dimensional. I have mearly tried to provide the issues on both sides of the debate that surrounds the China?s most-favored-nation status. By giving stats and other figures that show just how this issue has the ability to effect the economies of both the United States and China.
