James Traficant: “Reports say the White House will support China over Taiwan, thus communism over democracy. Unbelievable. The reports say…”

On the recordNovember 1, 1999
Reports say the White House will support China over Taiwan, thus communism over democracy. Unbelievable. The reports say the White House will put tough conditions on it. Like what, Mr. Speaker? A waiting period on Chinese missile launches? A promise that China will not sell any of their stolen technology at missile shows? How about trigger locks on all those Chinese missiles? Beam me up, Mr. Speaker. These cerebral constipators have already given away the farm. Now they are starting to play with our freedom. I yield back the fact that we built the Panama Canal and China now runs it.
