James Traficant: “Another last minute trade deal. The White House said China has voluntarily agreed to stop breaking international trade…”

On the recordJune 18, 1996
Another last minute trade deal. The White House said China has voluntarily agreed to stop breaking international trade and copyright law. Right. Mr. Speaker, what does China have to do before the White House wakes up? Nuke Taiwan? Rape the Statute of Liberty? I think the facts are now clear and evident. While China is kicking our assets all the way from Beijing to the east lawn, the White House keeps making another deal. I do not know if we elected Monte Hall or what here. In America the people govern. Mr. Speaker, Congress should cancel most-favored-nation trade status pork for China. I yield back the balance of all jobs and money.
