On the recordMay 13, 1998
The White House slapped sanctions on India because India was conducting nuclear tests. Unbelievable. It is like Mike Tyson beating up Woody Allen for failing to fight. India is not the problem, White House; China is the problem. And the White House policy with China is now not only stupid, Congress, it is dangerous. China, with our tax dollars, is destabilizing and threatening the entire world, and we are putting sanctions on India for protecting themselves. Beam me up. The truth of the matter is, this White House does not have the balsam to confront the real problem, which is China, so they kick India around. I say it is time, Congress, to develop a sound strategy and show some anatomy. We should rescind MFN for China. It is not just about trade, Congress, it is about national security.
