The 108th Congress should
- avoid imposing economic sanctions against China even for narrowly
defined objectives, since such measures will undermine permanent
normal trade relations (PNTR);
- reject the proposed Taiwan Security Enhancement
Act;
- urge the executive branch to be more responsive to
Taiwan’s requests to purchase defensive
weapons systems;
- urge the executive branch to treat China as a
normal great power, not as either a
"strategic partner" or a probable adversary; and
- recognize that advancing economic freedom in China
has had positive effects on civil society and
personal freedom for the Chinese people.
