President Bushs policy is a failure and it Is time that Congress set it straight. The bill we are introducing today puts an end to the policy of kowtowing to the Chinese Government and sets forth clear. unequivocal standards it must meet if it is to continue to receive preferential trade status from the United States. These conditions include the release of political prisoners. an end to persecution of those who seek peaceful change. the guarantee of freedom of the press. an end to harassment of Chinese students in this country. guarantee of the right to emigrate and an end to religious persecution in China and Tibet. Surely. these fundamental standards of human and civil rights are not too much to expect from the Government of Chinaor any country with which we do business. These conditions will provide strong support to the forces of freedom and democracy in China and provide a strong incentive for the Chinese Government to guarantee its citizens basic rights.
