We must neither ignore nor isolate China, but we cannot embrace as a "strategic partner" an expansionist power that perverts our elections, plunders our nuclear arsenal, and targets our cities. China's ongoing oppression of women, Christians, Tibetans and political dissidents is an affront to American values, but instead of shaming the regime, the Clinton-Gore Administration persists in its failed policy of appeasement. In the last decade, we have mollified China by allowing Beijing to run up a $274 billion trade surplus. Our trade concessions have given China the second largest hoard of hard currency in the world--$150 billion, but we still provide Beijing with World Bank and Asian Development Bank loans and permit the purchase of our latest technology. As President I will: Call on Congress to suspend MFN until China closes its concentration camps, stops coercive abortions, and ceases the persecution of its people. Block the transfer of any new high-tech military technology. Require that all Chinese imports are taxed at the same rate China imposes on goods from the U.S.A. Maintain economic leverage over Beijing by rejecting admission of China to the World Trade Organization.
