<p> As President Clinton ponders whether to extend China's
most-favored-nation trading status, Levi Strauss & Co., the
world's largest maker of name-brand apparel, has decided to
phase out its Chinese operations because of "pervasive
violations" of human rights. The decision abides by the
company's investment guidelines, adopted last year. A Chinese
Foreign Ministry official downplayed the impact. "At present
there are tens of thousands of foreign companies investing in
China," he said. "If one or two want to withdraw, please do."
Levi's withdrawal will halt production of 5 million pants and
shirts a year.
