“I am going to be blunt. The presence of the President in the United States, President Clinton with his record on human rights, in Tiananmen Square makes a mockery of this country's sincere commitment to human rights and democracy. This administration has the worst human rights record of any administration in my lifetime. And any utterance the President of the United States might make about human rights in Tiananmen Square, where thousands of young people struggling for democracy in China were murdered, just takes away from any message that we might have as a people to the peoples of the world that we are serious when we talk about democracy and freedom. In reality, it will be seen as purely posturing by a President that has time and again said making money and making sure that the Chinese can keep that $50 billion trade surplus to be used to build up their own weapons systems which they then use to suppress their people is much more important than human rights.”
