As a veteran I cannot tell you how happy I am that you are out there.

We have to get it done.

We are the strongest supporters of the VA and the harshest critics.

Thank you for holding this hearing on the report from the Congressional-Executive Commission on China but thank the two of you for being beacons and role models for all of us on the quest for human rights.

We must continue to signal to those in China who yearn and hope for reform...

Only the Chinese people will change China.

We cannot rewrite history today, but we can determine how we will act differently tomorrow.

We urge China today to end this ongoing illegal detention and to free Chen and his family.

Chen not only overcame the hardships of being blinded at a young age, but succeeded in becoming an inspiring legal advocate.

Walz, Hon. Tim, a U.S. Representative from Minnesota; Ranking Member, Congressional-Executive Commission on China.

Let us remind our friends in China that all great nations achieve more through open dialogue and free flow of information than through forced silence.
