Paying Pakistan to kill bad guys makes sense.

What we have in China is the world's worst human rights abuser.

Pakistan is not our pal, our buddy, or our chum.

So your organization believes that Tibet is another country that the rights of the people are being violated by foreign power?

Well, we will see if you still thank them after I get done.

75 percent of the Pakistanis in Pakistan have an unfavorable opinion of our country and believe that the United States is the source of that country's problems.

It is not a secret that the Afghan Taliban has been based in Quetta, Pakistan.

People need to know the magnitude of this crime---- Monstrous crime against humanity, not just against the women of China but all humanity.

Pakistan is essential. But Pakistan is also perfidious, and that is our problem in a nutshell.

Shame on us if we don't live up to our own ideals.

Let's just note right off the bat, today is not in any way a condemnation of the people of China.

I think the point you make that honorable people of intelligence can disagree----

The political leadership in China suppresses the people.

The Chinese Government brutally represses its own people.

When China murdered and slaughtered the democracy movement at Tiananmen Square, that ended those statements for Ronald Reagan.

Does the legislative branch have a right to limit what the executive branch does in foreign policy?

the power of the purse is a supreme constitutional prerogative of the legislative branch

But you are suggesting that the money we spent that was illegally spent and now it is up to Congress to act, is that it?

So the benefit is that there were certain things that we were not permitted to sell in China.

Those in position of leadership, be they in the private sector or in government, do our country a disservice when they gloss over or ignore the actions of the Chinese Government.

We should not be sending technology transfers, and all of these great things that we are doing with trade and investment should not happen unless China continues liberalizing.

It was written into law because Frank Wolf, who is a Member of Congress, who also went through that same investigation and Dana Rohrabacher and others who have been watching this issue for a long time are aware of the specifics.

I don't believe that is going to lead to a free China.

China is a dictatorship in which the people do not choose their own leaders.

Its government is the world's single largest human rights abuser.
