China’s foreign trade minister Shi Guangsheng warned that a U S rejection of normal trade relations would not deter Beijing from pursuing WTO entry and could prompt the United States to lose access to China’s vast market for a generation. He said Beijing could use WTO rules to deny U S company access if Congress rejects the program. Shi spoke on the sidelines of the National People’s Congress in Beijing, while Washington debated Clinton’s market-opening proposal.
