Speech #960187551

For my colleagues consideration. I will briefly list my reasons for opposing House Concurrent Resolution 204: First. Peoples Republic of China is not an ally in the normal sense. such as the United Kingdom or West Germany. Second. It should be recognized that Peking and Moscow share the same commitment to Marxist doctrine and that the organizational structure of the two governments are similar. The two governments share repressive practices in crushing dissent and are similar in emigration policies. Despite Chinas rhetoric to the contrary. Moscow and Peking continue to trade and continue to hold meetings to talk about improving relations.
