The same WTO where other nations can determine trade deals and agreements even if they’re not Constitutional or anti-American in nature?
The same WTO that has an authority overriding our own in terms of trade deals that affect us?
No wonder others like Hunter don’t like the current situation.
And just to clarify, please don’t compare Bill “Live by the Polls” Clinton to Duncan “Actually voted against Reagan’s 1986 Amnesty Bill” Hunter. The conviction of the two doesn’t even compare.
Unfortunately, the Congress and the President didn't check with you prior to joining. Be that as it may, PNTR was granted to China. Prior to that, the PRC required an annual waiver to maintain free trade status. The waiver for the PRC had been in effect since 1980. Every year between 1989 and 1999, legislation was introduced in Congress to disapprove the President's waiver. The legislation had sought to tie free trade with China to meeting certain human rights conditions that go beyond freedom of emigration. All such attempted legislation failed to pass. The requirement of an annual waiver was inconsistent with the rules of the World Trade Organization, and for the PRC to join the WTO, Congressional action was needed to grant PNTR to the PRC. This was accomplished in late-1999, allowing the PRC to join WTO in the following year.
