On Thu, 3 Mar 2005 22:14:44 +0000 (UTC), in a place far, far away,
(Eric Chomko) made the phosphor on my
monitor glow in such a way as to indicate that:

: But isn't China our most favored nation WRT trade?

: No. Apparently you're as ignorant of the meaning of the phrase "most
: favored nation."

What does it mean then?

It means that they are treated on the same basis as all the other
countries with that status (i.e., most of them). It just means that
we have normal trade relations with them. There is nothing special
about China.
