CONGRESS SHOULD TAKE A LOOK AT CHINA, THE NEXT MAJOR NATIONAL SECURITY 
                                 THREAT

  (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 violates American trade laws, China 
threatens to nuke their neighbors, China sells nuclear weapons to our 
enemies, China tries to influence American elections, and to boot, 
there is no political freedom in China. There is no religious freedom 
in China. Let us not forget China is still a Communist dictatorship.
  Mr. Speaker, if that is not enough to compromise your samurai, there 
is a group of Washington politicians who want to reward China with 
permanent, that is right, permanent most-favored-nation trade status. 
Beam me up.
  I say there should be some permanent brain surgery for these 
permanent politicians performed by some permanent proctologist; 
permanent this, China. Congress had better take a look at the next 
major national security threat that is a dragon about ready to eat our 
assets.
