Tomorrow, Tuesday, July 27, the House of Representatives is scheduled to consider H.J.Res. 57 to deny the renewal of Most Favored Nation trading status with the People’s Republic of China.

Consistent with the semantic gamesmanship so often used by liberals and abortion advocates, the term “Most Favored Nation” has been dropped by the powers-that-be, who seek to continue U.S. trade practices that are far more advantageous to the Communist Chinese than those we engage in with many other countries. Now, the term “Normal Trade Relations” is being used. Despite the linguistic gymnastics, extra-favorable trade policies with China, by any other name, still smell of the sweat of millions of Chinese workers in hundreds of slave-labor camps, working for the barest subsistence, producing products for American corporations to sell at home at highly inflated prices to American consumers who buy them because they’re still cheaper than products made in the U.S.A. by free men and women in a free country.

The women of child-bearing age, who work in those slave-labor camps, continue to be victimized by China’s brutal “one-child” policy. They are routinely rounded up for medical “inspections” every three months to determine whether they are pregnant. If found to be so, they must endure enforced abortions and sterilizations in order to be allowed to continue to work for slave wages. There is no real freedom in China. Sadly, American trading policies have ignored the monstrous human rights abuses perpetrated on the Chinese people by the Communists, and during tomorrow’s vote, many in Congress will try to overlook them again.

We need your help to pass H.J.R. 57 which would disapprove the renewal of Most Favored Nation/Normal Trade Relations with Communist China.

The growing U.S. trade deficit with China was at $57 billion last year alone, and our standard of living is slowly going down as we send billions of dollars and jobs overseas each year. While China places a 35% tariff on most U.S. goods going into China, tariffs on Chinese products entering the United States are zero to 2%.

The plight of the Chinese people demands that we condition our trade policies with them on the elimination of the egregious human rights violations currently being committed against individuals and churches in their country.

The plight of the American worker demands that we establish trading policies that are both free and FAIR.
