                   CHINA HOSTED INDICTED WAR CRIMINAL

  (Mr. WOLF asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WOLF. Mr. Speaker, China recently rolled out the red carpet, 
pictured behind me, for Sudanese President Omar Bashir, an 
internationally indicted war criminal facing charges on 10 counts, 
including murder, extermination, forcible transfer of population, 
torture, and rape.
  Prior to the visit, I wrote a letter to President Hu Jintao urging 
the Chinese Government to withdraw their invitation. Not only is Bashir 
wanted for his role in genocide in Darfur, but, as I speak, atrocities 
are unfolding against Christians in the Nuba Mountains--reliable 
reports of door-to-door targeting and killings, mass graves, Antonov 
bombers indiscriminately shelling civilian populations.
  Consider this reality: Bashir is a wanted war criminal. His murderous 
aims are unchanged. The Chinese Government treats him as a friend and 
extends every diplomatic grace. And China owns our debt.
  What is wrong with this picture? An indicted war criminal with the 
President of China.
