We urge the Communist Party to make a full and public accounting of those killed or missing.

Good morning and welcome to a joint hearing of the Congressional-Executive Commission on China and the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission.

I urge all of my colleagues in the House to support the resolution.

The Chinese are cheating when it comes to global trade. They're cheating by stealing intellectual property.

What does it profit a country if it gains the whole world and suffers the loss of its soul?

Hopefully this administration will turn that page, which previous ones have not done.

I believe that someday China will be free.

I see it in Cuba. I see it now in Venezuela where China is exporting facial recognition to the Maduro government so they can continue to control the populace as they demonstrate.

One of the most inspiring images in history is the lone man standing in the street before the line of tanks on Tiananmen Square.

We must remember because China still tries to deny history.

We must also keep American companies accountable for their potential complicity in Chinese government censorship.

I urge all my colleagues in the House to support this resolution.

I think we ought to recognize the government of Tibet in exile. I think we ought to establish a consulate in Tibet, in Lhasa.

The human rights situation in China has drastically worsened, and U.S. efforts to protect and advocate for human rights have become less effective.

Today let us recognize that the greatest tribute Congress can make to the fallen freedom fighters of Tiananmen is to use our influence to advance the democratic aspirations of that generation.

I truly want to believe that the world's leaders, including those here today, are wise enough not to repeat the mistakes of yesterday.

Lies written in ink cannot disguise facts written in blood.

How can you accept them into the WTO when they break with impunity human rights standards and norms?

For 30 years the appeasement policy has produced a monster.

We urge the Chinese government to respect human rights and freedom, to release arbitrary detainees, and to overturn counterproductive policies on terrorism, speech, and cyber policy.

Our problem is with the Chinese government and their fundamental lack of respect for basic human rights and human dignity.

I want to thank all of the witnesses for your appearance here today, especially Mr. Kaixi and Mr. Zhou.

Let us continue to work to achieve Liu Xiaobo's dream and the dream of the Tiananmen protesters, a future of freedom for all.

Either you stand with Tank Man or you stand with the tank. There is no middle ground.

We cannot stand silent in the face of this aggression and abuse of so many people's basic rights and dignity.
