Bush - China Trade NPR's Peter Kenyon reports from Washington State, where a campaigning Texas Governor George W. Bush announced his strong support for congressional approval of permanent trade relations with China. Bush's speech comes on the heels of growing momentum in the House to pass the measure, which goes to the floor next week. Earlier in the day, a compromise was agreed to in the House on legislation that would monitor China's human rights record -- an agreement that should bring enough lawmakers around to supporting the China trade bill.
