efend itself against Chinese missiles. The United States is trying to remedy this issue with diplomacy through having talks with Beijing aimed at bringing China into the World Trade Organization. China has been on a quest for membership in the WTO for 13 years. In order to join, China must reach agreements with the United States, the European Union, Canada, and other members for market opening. As part of an agreement with China on the United States' part, Congress must grant Beijing normal trade relations (NTR) status, formerly known as most-favored nation status. That would clear the way for China to open its markets and would guaranty Chinese goods the same low-tariff access to U.S. markets as nearly every other nation . In closing, I think it is a good idea to make good with China because it seems as if China is becoming a very powerful nation. However, we must increase security at our most secret locations that contain sensitive information because the kind of information that has been leaked to China has been spread throughout the world long before China became one of our worries. We should not allow this situation to escalate high enough to cause another cold war. If another cold war happens, then it will just be a matter of time before someone presses the button that will causes our destruction. It seems if other countries through the United States example increase relations with China it will allow through trade the westernization of the country, and lead perhaps to the possible fall of Communism in China as we know it....
