I commend this effort and everyone who has been involved in it. I am proud to stand on the floor of the House today and send a strong message that Congress cares about American values and about promoting those values abroad. By increasing funding for democracy activities. expanding monitoring of human rights abuses. intensifying efforts to broadcast information into China. denying visas to Chinese who flaunt international law or American values. expressing our support for the free and democratic government of Taiwan. promoting contact between agents of change in Chinese society and their American counterparts. and expecting United States businesses in China to be a force for positive change. we are directly addressing these problems with proactive solutions. We are taking concrete steps to promote American values that have a proven track record of success--democratic selfgovernance. rule by laws created with the consent and active participation of the people. freedom and individual liberties. Today. we will begin in a new debate on China.
