Political Quotes

“today's New York Times points out that the State Department released its 1995 report on human rights, and human rights has fallen behind in China. We ought to be careful when we consider MFN later on this year, because there is slave labor in China making goods. In fact, I will bet there are members of Congress that are wearing clothing made by slave labor in China. There is organ sales; for $30,000 you can get a slave labor person shot, and they will donate their kidney for you. There is persecution of Christians whereby they are going in house churches. It goes on and on. Lastly, members concerned about the economy, the trade imbalance with China is now $30 billion. When Tiananmen Square came, it was $6 billion, and now it is $30 billion. I strongly urge every Member to get today's New York Times and read it, especially before we vote on MFN, because we should never give MFN to a nation that is persecuting its own people and destroying the Christian Church and plundering Tibet.”
