“China sells missiles to our enemies, China threatened to nuke Taiwan and Los Angeles. China is buying intercontinental ballistic missiles, attack aircraft, and nuclear submarines. Congress, China is literally building a military juggernaut with American dollars. China enjoys a $50 billion trade surplus, they have a 17-cent an hour labor wage, they deny most American products, and they impose up to 30 percent tariffs on nearly all of our products. In addition, China shoots their own citizens, treats their women like cattle, laughs in the face of the United States. And finally, China is a Communist dictatorship, and American law, current law, says no Communist nation shall get MFN. Now the President wants to waive that. I ask the Congress, what did China do to deserve this waiver? Now the President talked about building a new bridge to the future. I was always under the impression that new bridge was in America. It is evident to me the President was talking about building a new bridge over the River Kwai here. I am opposed to this madness. We are, in fact, empowering a super dragon that is powerful enough some day to eat our assets. I think we are foolish. China has become a powerful military problem. We better recognize it now before we arm them to a degree where we may have trouble reinforcing our freedom and national security in the future.”
