Official Press Release from Buchanan Headquarters For Immediate Release: May 20, 1996
Buchanan: Clinton's China Policy is Appeasement
"The United States of America, the beacon of liberty and freedom, will be saying to the communists in Beijing, it is okay if you keep producing shoes for America with slave labor, just don't pirate any Madonna records." -Pat Buchanan
McLean, VA -- Republican presidential candidate Pat Buchanan today called President Clinton's move to renew China's Most Favored Nation trading privileges "an act of economic, moral and military appeasement."
"Mr. Clinton's decision to renew for communist China the same favored trading status we give Great Britain is an act of economic, moral and military appeasement. Both parties in Congress should move to reject MFN.
"For the Republican Party, this will be a defining moment: Do we stand with Bill Clinton, or do we stand by the values that made us a congressional majority? Do we love trade more than we loathe tyranny?
"Mr. Clinton's recent threat to impose sanctions on a tiny segment of Chinese exports, in retaliation for Chinese pirating of American compact discs and software, seems today like nothing more than political posturing. The United States of America, the beacon of liberty and freedom, will be saying to the communists in Beijing, it is okay if you keep producing shoes for America with slave labor, just don't pirate our Madonna records.
"China is potentially the greatest rogue nation on earth. It exploits conscript and slave labor to produce goods for export. It maintains a one-child-per-couple population policy, enforced by coercive abortion, that has led to widespread infanticide of female babies. And there are now more Christians imprisoned in China for their faith than in any other country on earth.
"Beyond this monstrous record on human rights, China has become a threat to U.S. friends and allies. It has sold missiles to Iran, nuclear technology to Pakistan, and has launched rockets at the ports of Taiwan to disrupt a democratic election.
"All this is financed by a burgeoning trade surplus built on the backs of American workers. Last year our trade deficit with China, driven by the 30 percent tariffs China imposes on U.S. goods, rose to $34 billion. That killed at least 700,000 American jobs. Soon, the US-China trade deficit may exceed our trade deficit with Japan.
"If President Clinton won't put American values and American workers first by canceling Most Favored Nation trading privileges for communist China, Congress should do it for him." ```
