mr. speaker , both the wall street journal and the new york times agree , a rare event , that we should not interfere with free markets in this way . 
america stands for freedom , and that means not just voting for who we want , speaking the way we want , but also the right to buy and sell from whoever we wish . 
i remember when japanese investors moved to buy rockefeller center , at inflated prices , and many in this body wanted to stop that deal . 
we did not . 
and only a few years later the japanese sold it back to the united states for pennies on the dollar . 
bottom line , we made a killing . 
and americans are better off for letting the market work . 
if we take this action , china could rightfully cancel american investments in china now totaling $ 25 billion . 
wal-mart , conoco , motorola , united air lines all bought companies in china and should be allowed to do so . 
we should recover the conviction of our own convictions , especially in our republican party , to make sure we let the market work and let efficiency and fair play rule the day .
