SV SOUNDBITE (english) SENATOR FROM KENTUCKY JIM BUNNING (R) SAYING: "Supporters have made the argument over and over again that China is changing, that things are better and that we will soon reap the benefits of free trade. aLL the facts prove them wrong. It's been over ten year since Tiananmen Square and the Chinese are still slaughtering their people. They're still selling weapons to terrorists, and they are still bullying other nations and threatening the United States. Nothing is any different with China now. In fact it may be worse." 0.58 VARIOUS LOCATIONS IN CHINA, (FILE) (REUTERS-ACCESS ALL) 4. VARIOUS AMERICAN CARS COMING OFF BOATS (5 SHOTS) 1.19 5. SLV CHINESE CAR SHOW 1.23 6.

SV SOUNDBITE (English) SENATOR FROM VIRGINIA CHUCK ROBB (d) SAYING: "In my judgement it will lead to positive changes sooner than if we were to reject PNTR. To emphasize the consequences of failure to ratify, it will avoid certain deterioration in our relationship with China that would take place if we rejected PNTR, which, again, would have serious and long-lasting consequences in our national security relations among all Pacific nations." 1.56 VARIOUS LOCATIONS IN CHINA, (FILE) (REUTERS) 8.
