Department of State Washington File: Text: U.S.-China WTO Agreement Will Help Promote Reform in China
-- Li Ke, Former Chinese Editor of the Democratic Journal Fangfa: "For so many years of China's reform and opening, these areas couldn't be opened up and remained state monopolies.

Department of State Washington File: Transcript: President Clinton on U.S.-China Trade Relations

American jobs would be the ones that suffer and American workers the ones who pay the price. ... [Read More]
