Speaker. I rise In support of the conference report to H.R. 2212. As I and many of my colleagues have noted during this and last years debate on whether to extend mostfavorednation trading status to China. that countrys emigration and human rights policies clearly have worsened since the brutal massacre at Tiananmen Square. Further. China is steadily adding to its nearly $15 billion trade surplus with the United States through the use of cheap prison labor. No mystery are they. the worsening conditions within China have been confirmed by several organizations: Amnesty International. ASIAS Watch. the Library of Congress and. even our very own Department of State. Given that Chinas emigration policy Is not In compliance with title 4 of the Trade Act of 1974. I have argued strenuously that this Nation Is not legally entitled to the preferential tariff rates accorded tnder the MFN program. For this reason.
