And I expect that is one of the reasons that the U.S. business community wants to ease some of the financial problems of the Chinese by resorting to subsidies from the American taxpayers. Before I conclude. let me turn my direction to the human rights issue. The only reason this resolution is before us today is because the good gentleman from Ohio . and the junior Senator from Washington . some years ago had the foresight to tie immigration policy to our trade policy. We are being asked today to vote on that issue: Does the Red Chinese Government permit free emigration? Deng Xiaoping. as I was listening in the Great Hall of the People. last April. responded to the question about free emigration. with a cynical reply only a dictator who controls his nation could possibly give: "How many do you want?" He said. "We will send them. How many do you want?" That is a good response. What it meant was that they would be glad to send those poor souls in the Chinese hierarchy of citizens who were unnecessary. but do not put that question to the ones who languish in the prisons.
