As a Mainland Chinese currently living in America, I greatly appreciate this opportunity to testify here regarding China's MFN trade status. This would have grave consequences difficult to reverse.
People suffer when China becomes isolated and hostile.
I'm a witness to that. As a child, I didn't have enough to eat or warm clothes to wear. I can still recall the days when my parents had no money to buy me new shoes, and many times I had to walk to school barefoot. When later I became a Christian, I couldn't find a Bible and had to hand copy one of the Gospel books. Engaging China through trade has helped relieve the suffering of the ordinary people.
