It goes back further than that. A bunch of us were yelling at Congress in the 1990s about this issue and other acts of Chinese infiltration that compromised nation security.
Clinton was too busy sucking up illegal Chinese campaign contributions from China to care. He pushed for and received MFN status for them.
We started building the chains of our enslavement decades ago.
I remember that... and the press bimbos and pretentious men who didn't give a damn about Clinton selling out to the Chinese. As if it never happened? Glad people like you remember. Ever wonder what liberals members of the press are getting in return for 'looking the other way'?
