What were the plausible alternatives to the US granting Most-Favored Nation (MFN) trade status to China in the 1980s, continually renewing it each year into the 90s each year, despite occasional talk about denying around the time of Tiananmen and eventually acceding to WTO membership of China in late 1990s, and how would those alternatives have worked out for all?
Given the Cold War situation of the 70s and 80s, and China's economic reforms internally, let's not change either of those, what else could American and other G7 country economy governments have done regarding trade with China that what they did?
Who might have been most likely to do something different, and what plausible circumstances could have led to a rethink of the consensus western approach over these decades?
