(A companion bill was introduced in the <a href="https://abc3340.com/news/nation-world/gop-bill-would-end-chinas-normal-trade-status-with-us-revoke-this-sweetheart-deal-china-chinese-communist-party-ccp-economy-tom-cotton-marco-rubio-josh-hawley" target="_blank">Senate legislation in September</a> by Republican Sens<strong>. Marco Rubio</strong> (Fla.), <strong>Josh Hawley</strong> (Mo.) and <strong>Tom Cotton </strong>of Arkansas). The Most Favored Nation Status — which was part of the process of admitting China into the World Trade Organization in 2001 — commits WTO members to a schedule of mutual tariff reductions and expanded market access. </p> <p><strong>**A message from BlackSky:</strong> In today’s dynamic world, national security situations can turn critical in an instant.

The U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission  also recommended in a <a href="https://www.uscc.gov/sites/default/files/2024-11/2024_Annual_Report_to_Congress.pdf?source=email" target="_blank">report released Tuesday</a> that Congress repeal China’s Most Favored Nation status (officially called Permanent Normal Trade Relations) to give the U.S. “more leverage” in its trade relationship with China. There’s a precedent — the Biden administration<a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/7108" target="_blank"> revoked Russia’s PNTR in 2022</a> after its full-scale invasion of Ukraine.</p> <p><strong>A treat for Trump.</strong> Moolenar sees a greater chance of the legislation passing after Trump takes office in January. The legislation is about “starting a conversation that will be influenced by the approach of the incoming administration,” said Moolenaar spokesperson <strong>William Poplawski</strong>.  There may be growing bipartisan support for that discussion. “When I talk to folks on both sides of the aisle on Capitol Hill, it seems political support for revoking China’s PNTR is building,” said <strong>Peter Harrell,</strong> former senior director for international economics in the Biden administration. </p> <p><strong>Risky business.</strong> Some Dems say it’s too risky. Higher tariffs would “trigger retaliatory measures against our exporters, such as our farmers,” said Rep. <strong>Raja Krishnamoorthi</strong> (D-Ill.), ranking member of the House Select Committee on China. U.S. importers are also recoiling. Ending PNTR will end up “driving up prices, eliminating hundreds of thousands of jobs, and making it harder for American companies to compete globally,” said <strong>Craig Allen</strong>, president of the trade group the U.S.-China Business Council.</p> <p><strong>No pain, no gain.</strong> Moolenaar is undeterred. Lawmakers shouldn’t allow “the fear of what China might do stop us from rebuilding U.S. manufacturing capacity … and enriching our economy,” Moolenaar said. The legislation could be a step toward the decoupling of the U.S. and Chinese economies that<a href="https://www.dw.com/en/complete-decoupling-from-china-remains-an-option-says-trump/a-53866003" target="_blank"> Trump has backed</a>.<strong> </strong></p> <p><strong>Goodbye WTO</strong>. Revoking PNTR would be a blow to U.S. standing in the WTO and its system of rules aimed to ensure fair trade between all members. </p> <p>It would be the equivalent of  “the Trump trade team giving a big middle finger to the WTO,” said <strong>Christine McDaniel</strong>, a former Treasury Department deputy assistant secretary in the <strong>George W. Bush</strong> administration.</p> <p><strong>End of an era</strong>. PNTR’s demise would also end selective sanctions on Chinese imports — including the 301 tariffs imposed by the first Trump administration and<a href="https://www.politico.com/newsletters/weekly-trade/2024/05/13/trumping-trumps-tariffs-on-china-00157510" target="_blank"> extended by President <strong>Joe Biden</strong></a> — to prod Beijing to curtail<a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2024/05/14/fact-sheet-president-biden-takes-action-to-protect-american-workers-and-businesses-from-chinas-unfair-trade-practices/" target="_blank"> unfair trade practices</a>. </p> <p>Moolenaar’s bill is a recognition that hopes that China would become “more market-oriented” through free trade have failed, said <strong>Greta Peisch, </strong>former general counsel of the Office of the United States Trade Representative and currently a partner at Wiley Law.</p> <h3><span style="color: #cd171e">TRANSLATING WASHINGTON</span></h3> <p><strong>— SENATOR WARNS ON MUSK’S CHINA TIES: </strong>Sen.<strong> Richard Blumenthal </strong>(D-Conn.), chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Subcommittee on Privacy, Technology and the Law<strong>, </strong>warned Tuesday that <strong>Elon Musk</strong>, owner of both Tesla and social media platform X, poses a future threat to national security under the incoming administration due to Tesla’s manufacturing foothold in China and its reliance on revenue from the Chinese market. Musk is set to helm the new Department of Government Efficiency under the Trump administration and has not made clear his plans for his companies once in the position. “Those extensive economic ties, and China’s willingness to exploit them, are a dangerous combination, a real risk to this country,” Blumenthal said of Musk’s business ties to Beijing.

They include:</p> <p>—    a directive issued Monday that targets “<a href="https://gov.texas.gov/news/post/governor-abbott-issues-executive-order-targeting-chinese-communist-partys-harassment-of-texans" target="_blank">transnational repression” of Texans</a> by Chinese operatives in the state,</p> <p>—   an order on Tuesday to harden the state’s<a href="https://gov.texas.gov/news/post/governor-abbott-issues-executive-order-hardening-state-government-from-the-chinese-communist-party" target="_blank"> information security systems</a> from threats including Chinese hackers.</p> <p>—   An instruction published Wednesday aimed to<a href="https://gov.texas.gov/news/post/governor-abbott-issues-executive-order-protecting-critical-infrastructure-from-the-chinese-communist-party" target="_blank"> protect “critical infrastructure”</a> including transportation and water systems from Chinese espionage efforts including cyberattacks. Beijing “has made it clear that they can — and will — target and attack America’s critical infrastructure,” Abbott said in a statement announcing the order.</p> <p>Chinese authorities dismissed those concerns. “So-called ‘transnational repression’ is in itself fabricated by the U.S. side to smear China,” said Liu at the Chinese embassy.</p> <p><strong>States stepping up.</strong> Abbott’s orders are the latest in a series of state government measures over the past two years to confront concerns about the security and economic risks posed by rising U.S.-China tensions. They include state <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2024/04/03/state-laws-china-land-buying-00150030" target="_blank">bans on land sales</a> to Chinese entities and legislation requiring <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2024/03/23/worries-about-potential-china-taiwan-conflict-spur-state-legislation-00148579" target="_blank">state-level “stress tests”</a> to assess the local impact of war across the Taiwan Strait. State pension fund managers have<a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/26/states-china-pensions-00171437" target="_blank"> begun pulling their cash from Chinese investment funds</a> to avoid possible losses in the event of conflict with Beijing over Taiwan or in the South China Sea. </p> <p><strong>China fear factor. </strong>Abbott’s office didn’t respond to a request for comment. Lawmakers who support his orders say they are a necessary precaution against perceived imminent danger posed by an increasingly aggressive Beijing. The Chinese “have been very open about their designs on us and they’re very aggressive and very good at causing harm,” said GOP Texas state Sen. <strong>Bryan Hughes</strong>.</p> <p><strong>Resource rich aggressor.</strong> Texas lawmakers are aware that other foreign countries including Russia, Iran and North Korea have a record of cyberattacks on the United States. But Beijing’s capabilities make it more formidable. “They have the dollars and the resources to do more damage than the others,” said Republican state Rep. <strong>Cole Hefner</strong>, chair of the Select Committee on Securing Texas from Hostile Foreign Organizations. </p> <p><strong>Frustration at the Feds.</strong> The orders also underscore growing concern among state governments that the federal government — normally tasked with homeland security and defense against foreign espionage — isn’t up to the task. “The feds have not been doing their job and the threat in particular from the Chinese Communist Party is so serious,” Hughes said.</p> <p><strong>More to come. </strong>This week’s flurry of China-targeted executive orders are likely to seed new state laws with similar goals. Brace for “legislation to come out of the committee … to gird our water and transportation systems and our ports and pipelines to make sure it’s as hard as possible for the Chinese to infiltrate those systems,” said Republic state Rep. <strong>Cody Harris,</strong> who also sits on the Hostile Foreign Organizations committee. </p> <h3><span style="color: #cd171e">THREE MINUTES WITH… </span></h3> <table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td> <p style="margin-bottom:0.2rem" align="center"><a href="https://x.com/CPJAsia/status/1857500572577857598" target="_blank"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.politico.eu/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/21/Screenshot-2024-11-21-at-11.20.37.png" alt="image" width="520"></a></p> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>Imprisoned Hong Kong pro-democracy advocate <strong>Jimmy Lai </strong>has been behind bars since 2020 <a href="https://hongkongfp.com/2022/12/10/breaking-hong-kong-media-tycoon-jimmy-lai-jailed-for-5-years-9-months-for-fraud-over-use-of-apple-daily-hq/" target="_blank">on alleged fraud</a> charges that the State Department has called “grossly unjust.” Lai<a href="https://api.neonemails.com/emails/content/e4dsavNo4zMGk4h3AxQqf0Ok0OEG6PXQkmGaVU28NNc=" target="_blank"> took the stand Wednesday</a> in his long-delayed trial on separate charges of “collusion with foreign elements” and “sedition” charges — which United Nations legal experts <a href="https://news.un.org/en/story/2024/01/1145777" target="_blank">have called a political vendetta</a>.

Europe is learning to assert its right to cooperate with Taiwan without diplomatic recognition of the island. </p> <p><strong>What was the most surprising thing you learned while writing this book? </strong></p> <p>Contrary to Beijing’s claims, it’s not Europe interfering in China’s internal affairs by cooperating with Taiwan. Instead, Beijing’s information manipulation – falsely depicting cooperation with Taiwan as a violation of EU-China relations – has actually accelerated the EU’s turn toward Taiwan. </p> <p><strong>What’s the risk/reward ratio for the EU engaging Taiwan “on its own merit rather than exclusively through the China factor lens?”</strong> </p> <p>Engaging Taiwan on its own merit lends weight and credibility to a geopolitical EU that despite much fanfare continues to punch below its weight as the world’s largest trading bloc. Expanding ties with Taiwan is part of the solution to reducing the risks of overreliance on China as a trade partner that refuses to play by the rules. </p> <p>But Beijing will not compromise on Taiwan and will continue to weaponize trade to intimidate and punish member states and companies for strengthening cooperation with the island.</p> <p><strong>Got a book to recommend?
