James Traficant: “China steals American software and videos. China sponsors slave labor. China imprisons political opponents. China sells…”

On the recordMay 21, 1996
China steals American software and videos. China sponsors slave labor. China imprisons political opponents. China sells nuclear technology to terrorists. China literally threatened to nuke Taiwan. And if this is not enough to disrupt the constipation of the National Security Council, Chinese dictator told the White House to shut their mouth and back off. Unbelievable, Mr. Speaker. After all this, the White House is so mad the White House has decided to punish China by renewing most-favored-nation trade status. Beam me up, Mr. Speaker. When will this White House wise up? When one of these Chinese dictators slaps the President in the face with one of those Barney dolls, which just happens to be made in China. Think about that.
