        HOW MUCH MORE WILL CHINA DO TO ITS PEOPLE AND THE WORLD?

  (Mr. BROWN of Ohio asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. BROWN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, most-favored-nation status for China 
giving trade advantages to that Communist dictatorship will cost 
millions of American jobs. Our trade deficit with China, almost 
nonexistent only a few years ago, has climbed to $32 billion and is 
rising, and within a couple of years, it will surpass that of Japan. 
How much more can China do to its people and how much more can China do 
to the rest of the world before we finally say ``no'' to MFN? 
Massacring students in Beijing, selling nuclear technology to rogue 
nations, slave labor camps, illegally smuggling 2,000 AK-47's into the 
United States, forcible seizure of Tibetan children from their homes, 
12-year-old children in China making toys for 12-year-old children in 
America and 12-year-old children in China in labor camps making toys 
for 12-year-old children in America. Mr. Speaker, when will it stop? 
When will we in this body stop it? Defeat MFN.
