NPR's Ted Clark reports that 'most-favored-nation' status for China...known as M-F-N...is shaping up as Presidential campaign issue. Pat Buchanan and other leading Republicans are calling for revocation of M-F-N. President Clinton wants to extend it. Bob Dole is caught in the middle. In the past Dole is on record favoring M-F-N for China and yet he wants to differeniate himself from his rival for the presidency.
