They have killed and murdered more people than the ethnic groups were killing each other.

We should not be having free trade with dictatorships. Free trade between free people is wonderful. Free trade with dictatorships strengthens the dictatorship.

A lot of people understand that right after I was elected to Congress I disappeared and went to Afghanistan for 2 months and fought alongside the mujahideen.

I think this is a wonderful celebration today of many, many years.

China is the big player here.

So is it not possible, when we see this impoverished regime in North Korea that can't even feed its own people, a regime that counts its power on the number of people marching down the streets doing the goose-step, that this is the regime…

This is something that we need, again, to have reality checks when we go into debates on such policies as these.

This is a loony policy on our side.

Thank God those of us who supported missile defense won that debate. And every loony regime that tries to get its hands on nuclear weapons and tries to launch a rocket reinforces the importance of having a missile defense system.

China is the world's largest dictatorship and human rights abuser.

Let me just note for the record, Madam Chairman, that when we refer to China, we are not referring to the people of China.

It is time to do something.

Should we permit a government that obviously is even an anti-democratic government, whether we call it China or whether we call it Nazis, or whoever they are, should we permit them to finance educational forays into the American…

I would invite any of you to come on up to Paint Branch Elementary School in Prince George's County...

Our greatest ally in that struggle are the people of China because they are the ones that are on the front lines of this struggle.

We should never have anything in our public education system financed by a foreign government who is fundamentally hostile to the values that America represents.

The motive of the Chinese Government in trying to put these Confucian centers all over the United States, I have to assume that they are not just doing it because they are benevolent and love us and like us, but maybe they have some other…

I guess if there was a regime that still had big pictures of Adolph Hitler around, I guess there would be a lot of people who would be naturally suspicious...

Chinese maps are different than perhaps the maps that we might get here in the United States.

Something is wrong with that. I think that the Chinese money has helped grease this misperception.

There is, furthermore, nothing about gaining fluency in Mandarin that inclines a student to support the Chinese Communist Party or its policies.

Confucius Institutes are primarily concerned with providing Mandarin training to American professionals and K-through-12 students.

Hostile foreign governments that censor the U.S. media in their domestic markets should not be granted First Amendment rights in America.

U.S. publications must be required to clearly reveal when they place content that is provided by a foreign governments or an agent of a foreign government.

That is an absolute falsehood, but they will use that to try to cut off communication.
