“in 1995 and 1996, I voted for MFN. This year I will not. I will support this resolution. Why the change? Well, it is not just one reason. I think that China's human rights record is no better and it may be worse. Second, I know for sure that our trade deficit is worse because we are not making any progress on bringing down their import tariffs. And we are losing American jobs because of it. Third, we just learned that the Chinese sold cruise missiles to Iran. This places American troops in harm's way. And how about Chinese sales of nerve gas technology to Iran? Finally it appears that the Chinese have tried to influence our own elections with illegal contributions. United States-China policy made in China. Mr. Speaker, we need to send China a message. First, lower your tariffs. Second, stop persecuting religious freedom of speech. Third, stop selling weapons of mass destruction to terrorist states and, fourth, do not ever meddle in our elections again. Vote ``yes'' for this resolution.”
