                             CHINA'S NEWT?

  (Mrs. SCHROEDER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Mrs. SCHROEDER. Mr. Speaker, today in China they are celebrating the 
first day of the lunar new year, the Year of the Pig, and we now find 
out from the New Yorker magazine that a big multinational pig is trying 
to feed over there the same way that pig has been trying to feed on the 
U.S. Congress. I guess the question is: Is Beijing becoming more like 
Washington, or Washington becoming more like Beijing?
  But what we learn today is Deng Xiaoping's daughter, Deng Maomao, 
also has a book contract with Mr. Murdoch. Mr. Murdoch seems to be 
wanting to try to get his TV station into China and has pulled all of 
the BBC news because it has much too much about human rights, which 
just really, really makes him upset, and has furthermore now cut this 
wonderful deal with Deng's daughter, who is supposed to be the closest 
to him, but of course there could not be any hanky-panky there.
  So, if anyone now asks what is the similarity between our Speaker, 
Deng Xiaoping's daughter and Mrs. Thatcher, we now know. They all have 
Rupert Murdoch book deals.
