                          CHINA AND MFN STATUS

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, China steals American software and 
videos. China sponsors slave labor. China imprisons political 
opponents. China sells nuclear technology to terrorists. China 
literally threatened to nuke Taiwan. And if this is not enough to 
disrupt the constipation of the National Security Council, Chinese 
dictator told the White House to shut their mouth and back off. 
Unbelievable, Mr. Speaker.
  After all this, the White House is so mad the White House has decided 
to punish China by renewing most-favored-nation trade status. Beam me 
up, Mr. Speaker. When will this White House wise up? When one of these 
Chinese dictators slaps the President in the face with one of those 
Barney dolls, which just happens to be made in China. Think about that.
