        CHINA SHOULD NOT BE ADMITTED TO WORLD TRADE ORGANIZATION

  (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, last year Members vowed that China would 
not violate any African trade program we passed. Well, guess what, 
reports quote Chinese leaders as saying China will set up assembly 
plants in Africa with Chinese equipment, Chinese technology and, guess 
what, Chinese workers as well.
  To further quote this madness, they said China is determined to 
circumvent any U.S. quotas on Chinese products.
  Disgusting. And after all this, certain Members and certain 
individuals at the White House still want to admit China to the World 
Trade Organization. Beam me up. What is next here, a monument to Mao 
Tse-tung right in Washington?
  I yield back a $200 billion trade deficit that threatens every man, 
woman and child in America, as well as our national security.
