    Notwithstanding the provisions of title I of the Act to authorize

            (1) normal trade relations treatment shall not apply 
        pursuant to section 101 of that Act to the products of the 
        People's Republic of China;
            (2) normal trade relations treatment may thereafter be 
        extended to the products of that country only in accordance 
        with the provisions of sections 401 through 409 of the Trade 
        Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2431-2439) as in effect with respect to 
        the products of the People's Republic of China on the day 
        before the effective date of the accession of the People's 
        Republic of China to the World Trade Organization; and
            (3) the extension of waiver authority that was in effect 
        with respect to the People's Republic of China under section 
        402(d)(1) of the Trade Act of 1974 on the day before the 
        effective date of the accession of the People's Republic of 
        China to the World Trade Organization shall, upon the enactment 
        of this Act, be deemed not have expired, and shall continue in 
        effect until the date that is 90 days after the date of such 
        enactment.
