                                 CHINA

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Madam Speaker, China enjoys a $20 billion trade 
surplus with America, second only to Japan. Year after year, Congress 
gives carte blanche, red carpet, most favored nation trade status to 
China, average wage 17 cents an hour.
  But right now the question is, where is China?
  In a moment of need, will China support Uncle Sam or will China 
support another Communist dictatorship in North Korea that not only has 
nuclear weapons but may be willing to sell them to our enemies. And to 
make it even worse, North Korea looks right in our face and says, shove 
your sanctions, Uncle Sam, up your Chinese trade deficit, because we 
are not going to budge.
  I think it is time, my colleagues, to look at our trade policies that 
not only are killing American jobs but may be financing the next world 
war. Think about it.
