We gave China most-favored-nation status and let them join the WTO. Democrat and Republican administrations going all the way back to Nixon have made this pact with the devil. The doctrine seems to be that if we trade with China, they will become nice communists, and eventually turn into capitalists. The
massacre at Tiananmen Square showed the folly of placating those murderous thugs. Not long thereafter, on a trip to China, President Clinton gave a speech about the wonderful relations between China and the U.S. and guess where he gave this rosy speech? That's right...Tienanmen Square. Talk about adding insult to injury!
China continues to suppress free speech, religion, and even the most basic human rights. Many of the products they export to the U.S. are made by political or religious prisoners, who are beaten and tortured if they don't meet their quotas. They have shown little sign of softening their brutal reign over their subjects, and have committed genocide in the little country of Tibet, which they have taken over. Our cozy relationship with these tyrants is shameful.
