On the recordMay 24, 2001
China is now taking $100 billion in trade surplus from America. Even our trade program bears the label, made in China. What is even worse, China considers America the enemy and China actually held Americans hostage. Now if that is not enough to scare Freddy Krueger, recent reports say China illegally bought U.S. microchips to build new missiles and to aim them at the United States of America. Mr. Speaker, beam me up. The American taxpayers are funding World War III, so help me God. I yield back the fact that the nature of a dragon is not to negotiate with its prey. The nature of a dragon is to kill its prey.
