           CHINA DOES NOT DESERVE TO HOST 2008 OLYMPIC GAMES

  (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 has executed 1,781 citizens in the 
last 90 days. That is more executions than the entire world performed 
over the last 3 years. China is now even executing citizens for pimping 
and prostitution. It is getting so bad that Chinese citizens, Chinese 
lovers, in fact, are afraid to kiss in public. Meanwhile, China says it 
is necessary to ensure ``social stability.''
  Now, if that is not enough to power surge your electric chair, China 
is in line to host the 2008 Olympic games.
  Beam me up. The Olympic games are designed to be a celebration of 
life, not death. China does not deserve to host these games.


  I yield back the human rights abuses, the death and dying at the hand 
of Communist Chinese dictators.
