Title: China: U.S. Economic Sanctions
Authors: Dianne E. Rennack, Foreign Affairs and National Defense Division 
Abstract: Since 1989, U.S.-China relations have seesawed between cooperation and confrontation. Human rights, arms proliferation, the status to Taiwan and Tibet, and the use of prison labor for export goods, all have given cause to continue sanctions. As well, trade issues--intellectual property rights and Chinese markets closed by tariffs and other restrictions--raise the specter of trade sanctions.
