“I am in favor of free trade around the world and free trade with Africa, I think, is extremely important. But there are provisions in this law that really concern me. For instance, only 35 percent of the product that is produced has to be completed or made in Africa. That means 65 percent of it can be transshipped from another country. Right now, Communist China, one of the worst violators of human rights in the world, is violating people's human rights with impunity. We have not done anything in this body, and many of our friends, other countries around the world, have done virtually nothing to put pressure on the Chinese Government to bring about changes in their human rights activities. Just last week two people were arrested in New York from China who were selling body parts, if my colleagues can believe that. They sell retinas for $5,000 a pair; they will sell a kidney for $10,000 or $20,000. What they do is go to these concentration camps, these gulags, and they shoot these people and then take orders for their livers or kidneys and hearts and sell them in the United States and around the world.”
