James Traficant: “A report said China is selling missiles to our enemies. The report said China sold missiles and technology to Iran…”

On the recordNovember 15, 2001
A report said China is selling missiles to our enemies. The report said China sold missiles and technology to Iran, Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Pakistan. In addition, China sold nuclear technology to Iran and Pakistan, and it has been confirmed by American officials. The report further said that these Chinese sales will enable Iran to deploy nuclear warheads in the near future. Beam me up here. China is destabilizing the world with American cash. That is no laughing matter. I yield back all those American flags that were recently passed out at the Wizards game that were made in China.
