Statement By The President Clinton On Most Favored Nation Status For China, 1993
I particularly want to recognize Senate Majority Leader George Mitchell of Maine and Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi of California. Their tireless dedication to the cause of freedom in China has given voice to our collective concerns. I intend to continue working closely with Congress as we pursue our China policy.
I wonder how many union jobs were destroyed by this?
President Clinton linked MFN to progress on human rights in China.

I really don’t understand the aversion of the majority here who don’t want this to end. I find it incredibly sad to be honest.
I agree. It's a sign of the times. For some, it seems, they're unable to logically evaluate this terrible situation.
So we must try harder to remind them.
From 2014
Ukrainian government forces used cluster munitions in populated areas in Donetsk city in early October 2014, Human Rights Watch said today. The use of cluster munitions in populated areas violates the laws of war due to the indiscriminate nature of the weapon and may amount to war crimes.
During a week-long investigation in eastern Ukraine, Human Rights Watch documented widespread use of cluster munitions in fighting between government forces and pro-Russian rebels in more than a dozen urban and rural locations. While it was not possible to conclusively determine responsibility for many of the attacks, the evidence points to Ukrainian government forces’ responsibility for several cluster munition attacks on Donetsk. An employee of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) was killed on October 2 in an attack on Donetsk that included use of cluster munition rockets.
HRW = Human Rights Watch - not your typical conspiracy theory group.

Is inevitable that prices are increased around the world but those increase even more in UK.
"..UK inflation peaked at 11.1% in October 2022. EU inflation was 6.1% ..."
Higher food inflation for the UK was a given considering it's an island, so a weak argument for a failure of Brexit.

Healthcare?
