Summary

Amends the Trade Act of 1974 to declare that if the President proposes to extend in 1991 for a 12-month period (July 3, 1991, to July 3, 1992) the waiver of human rights and emigration requirements for nondiscriminatory treatment (most-favored-nation treatment) for China, such continuation shall be conditioned on progress made regarding human rights, termination of martial law (in Tibet and elsewhere), termination of assistance to the Khmer Rouge, and engagement in negotiations to settle the conflict in Cambodia. Expresses the sense of the Congress that the President should propose the withdrawal of China's observer status in the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade if such nondiscriminatory treatment is withdrawn.
