Clinton's China Policy Fattened War Machine Wes Vernon, NewsMax.com Monday, Jan. 13, 2003 WASHINGTON -- Chinese dissident Harry Wu returned to this country in the mid-Nineties after risking his life in Communist China “only to watch the United States give up its best weapon in the struggle for human rights.” That weapon was the option of withholding “normal” trade relations with a country that exports to the United States products made by slave labor. This in turn fattens the Chinese military machine, bolstering the ability of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army to wage war on the U.S. These were the Clinton years when apologists for the president were saying, “Everybody lies about sex.” Wu’s account of the sell-out to the Chinese suggests that the question of whether “everybody” lies about treason should have been addressed. In his book “Trouble Maker,” the freedom-loving author says he was astonished when President Bill Clinton announced he was not going to use tariffs to pressure China to improve its behavior on human rights. In renewing China’s most-favored-nation (MFN) status, and openly admitting he would abandon all pretense at pressuring China to stop its slave state economy, Clinton “was going to trade with China as if it were a first-world democracy and not expect any improvements in human rights.”
