Some of us were against that in the 90's.

I was one of them.

Note that, to my knowledge, the Felon hasn't revoked their MFN status. That should have been day-one. I think POTUS can revoke it without permission from Congress (but I might be mistaken).

No authoritarian state should enjoy MFN status, and we should have been restricting trade with them since at least Nixon (who "went to China", famously).

I have no problem if the Chinese reform their systems, stop using slave labor, and have free elections. Until then, I'd favor a complete embargo, and would have since at least the 90s.
