Mr. Speaker. I rise in opposition to House Joint Resesolution 79 and speak in favor of our normal trading relationship with the Peoples Republic of China. Todays debate will have a complexity that goes far beyond what is in front of us. trade and emigration. On both sides. economic. political. strategic. and humanitarian differences abound. and yet we have allowed this one issue. mostfavorednation status. to be a referendum on U.S.-China relationship. It has become the lens through which most Americans look and view the entire United StatesChina policy. Mr. Speaker. this is indeed unfortunate. because not only is China the largest emerging market in the world. it is also a potent political and military force.
