Abstract:
When President Clinton came into office in 1993, he issued an executive order that seemed to condition China’s trade relationship with the United States on its human rights practices. In 1994, however, he abandoned those conditions. This essay uses newly available archival materials to shed new light on the Clinton administration’s intentions behind the 1993 executive order and why they abandoned the conditions one year later.
