They Just have to do two things: account for the missing prodemocracy protesters of Tiananmen Square. and release the others who have been rotting in prisons after that bloody massacre in the square. Mr. Speaker. is that too much to ask of the Chinese rulers? I am amazed that some of my colleagues seem to think so. Many of those same colleagues did not hesitate to attach conditions on MFN for the Soviet Union for free immigration for Jewish refusniks. Nor did they hesitate to support trade sanctions against South Africa to deal with apartheid. Well. my question today is if those conditions were justifiable. how can any freedomloving Senator or Congressman ignore the plight and the bravery of the Chinese protesters in Tiananmen Square?
