I was going to post this earlier, but decided not... Should have went with my first inclination!

In Executive Order 12938, we have a couple of real zingers. In section 5(b)(7) Sanctions Against Foreign Countries, we have the following:

(7) Import Restrictions. Restrictions shall be imposed on the importation into the United States of articles (that may include petroleum or any petroleum product) that are the growth, product, or manufacture of that country.

The duration of this order is at the discretion of the Sec. of State (sec. 6) and and full implementation is directed by the same (sec. 7).

So it doesn't matter if China is now a Favored Nation or not.
