China's Accession to the WTO and Human Rights

(Testimony before the House Committee on Ways and Means, February 2000)

...we believe that the WTO process should be used to push for human rights improvements. Broader trade with China can be consistent with advancing human rights, but only if it is combined with effective, sustained pressure on China to respect basic civil and political rights.
