On the recordJune 25, 1998
Unfortunately, today I am concerned, as are a lot of other Republicans and Democrats, about what this administration is doing halfway across the globe in Communist China. The gentlewoman from California (Ms. Pelosi) who has worked on human rights issues with myself and others said this today: There is no improvement in human rights there. The President can say that China has improved its human rights record because it exiled forcibly two dissidents. But we don't call that progress. Earlier this week the Washington Post, on Tuesday June 23rd, had this to say about human rights in China: Li Hai, 44 years old, a former teacher at the Chinese Medical College, is now serving a 9 year prison sentence in Beijing's prison.
