On the recordMarch 16, 1999
in 1992 a Russian spy who defected to America said China is determined to destroy America from within. He further said, and I quote, China would buy or steal our industrial and military secrets. He said China would buy American politicians. And the Russian spy further said, and I quote, China will stop at nothing. In spite of all this, China got for free our missile technology, China got naval bases, and China gets and continues to get a sweetheart trade deal financing the next major threat to our sovereignty. Beam me up. Someone in high places in America is in bed with the Chinese Red Army and the Chinese Communists. Mr. Speaker, I yield back a $50-billion-plus trade deficit that threatens our future.
