And who voted MFN for China?
Fred Thompson voted YES on granting normal trade relations status to Vietnam and “most-favored nation” status for communist Chinese. Of course he wasn’t the only one.
Lifting the embargo opened the door for the multi-billion dollar corporation, Lippo Group with American business partners, such as Stephens Investment of Little Rock, AR to conduct business in Vietnam. The result is pretty much summarized in post 82. The rest of the thread is support and broadened material.
