On the recordOctober 3, 2000
It is a proven fact, China has missiles pointed at America. China bought submarines and attack aircraft from Russia. China has spied on America. China has illegally purchased American secrets, and China is now taking $100 billion a year in cash out of our economy in sweetheart trade deals. If that is not enough to smell the gun powder, a Chinese spokesman announced, and I quote, Cuba is our Communist ally and China will now embrace Castro. Beam me up. Let me caution Members, China has more soldiers than America has citizens. I yield back both the treason of Janet Reno and the blindness of the Congress of the United States of America.
