 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Expresses the sense of the Congress that: (1) the situation in the People's Republic of China and in Tibet remains grim; (2) there should be no relaxation of presidential sanctions imposed on China and the Congress should act swiftly to secure final enactment of its own proposed sanctions; (3) the President should oppose any further action regarding China's desire to accede to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade until martial law is lifted and human rights are restored; (4) the United States should continue to oppose any change in World Bank policy towards loans to China and the release of loan funding to China until such conditions are met; and (5) the President should consider withholding most favored nation treatment for products of China for an additional 12 months, as proposed by the President on May 31, 1989, until there is freedom of emigration in both China and Tibet.
