And by acting to protect 40.000 Chinese students already covered by President Bushs pledge. override supporters will dash the hopes of 40 million Chinese students in China. none of whom will ever have the chance to come to the United States if the door slams shut. Before President Nixon went to China in 1972. no Chinese students were studying in the United States. Is that what Chinas critics want once again? That is what they bring about by overriding this veto. And remember. 7.000 Chinese students have come to this country since June 4. since Tiananmen Square. 7.000 Chinese students have come on visas to the United States. Do you want to shut that off? That is what you are going to do.
