Heavyweight U.S. Senator Proposes Four Achievable Actions to Confront Communist China in a Straightforward Way
Former Florida Governor and Senate Republican Caucus Chairman Rick Scott (R) recently wrote an article on the Fox News website calling for the United States to rethink its relationship with China, continue to confront unfair trade practices by the Chinese Communist Party, urge a decoupling of the U.S.-China supply chain, and say no to serious human rights violations by the Chinese Communist Party.
The article opens with the observation that for too long the United States has foolishly supported the persecution of a dictatorial Chinese Communist regime that is now the greatest threat to U.S. national and economic security.
Four Straightforward, Achievable Actions to Confront the CCP
In his article, Scott suggests four actions the U.S. can take to confront Communist China.
First, we must acknowledge that we have put a lot of effort into ensuring fair trade with China and maintaining a policy of holding the CCP accountable.
Second, the United States must take decisive steps to remove Communist China from our supply chain while supporting the return of key industries to U.S. soil and promoting a policy of prioritizing the purchase of American products.
Third, we must engage the international community and ensure that our allies fully support us by applying maximum pressure on Communist China until it complies with all U.S. and international trade laws.
Finally, the United States must lead the world in taking bold action to end the Communist Party’s egregious human rights abuses against the Chinese people and its horrific genocide of the Chinese people.
Scott said the Trump administration has taken unprecedented action to thoroughly investigate the Chinese Communist Party’s trade practices and found that it has a long history of forced technology transfers, intellectual property theft and espionage.
Yet politicians in Washington and business groups like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce continue to believe that decoupling from the CCP will hurt American businesses,” he said. They are wrong, they are blind to Xi’s ambitions and the suffering of the Chinese people, and they are more concerned about short-term profits than the future of our country.”
While the U.S. and Chinese economies are deeply interdependent, China remains dependent on the U.S. in key areas, and it will be much more difficult and costly to break free from that dependence than one might think.
Trump Strongly Supports Widow of U.S. Republican Congressman-Elect in By-Election Win
In Louisiana’s 5th Congressional District by-election on the 20th, Julia Letlow easily won, replacing her late husband and becoming the state’s first Republican congresswoman to be elected to the U.S. House of Representatives.
Luke Letlow, a 41-year-old L.I. Republican who was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives last year, died suddenly on Dec. 29 of complications from a new coronavirus infection. His wife, Julia Letlow, decided to continue Luke’s unfinished business. She pledged to defend Christian values, fight for the farming community and more. On Saturday, she was accompanied by her two minor children as she voted.
On Saturday, Trump issued a statement stressing that Julia’s election is necessary to uphold Republican claims of gun ownership, border policy and military rights, and called on voters in the Roadrunner State to come out and vote for her.
In addition, House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and Democratic Gov. John Bel Edwards (D-La.) both offered their praise and congratulations to her.
China blows off 2 things after US-China talks, US State Dept. refutes 1
Xinhua News Agency published a commentary in the early hours of 21st, pointing out that China and the United States in the just concluded talks are committed to strengthening dialogue and cooperation in the field of climate change, and will establish a joint U.S.-China working group on climate change; at the same Time, will also be in the spirit of reciprocity and mutual benefit, on the facilitation of each other’s diplomatic and consular agencies and personnel activities, as well as media reporters related issues for discussion, etc.
Last February, the U.S. listed five Chinese media organizations in the U.S. as “foreign missions. The Chinese Consulate General in Houston was forced to close its doors on July 24. The Chinese government also announced a countermeasure by notifying the U.S. that it was closing its consulate general in Chengdu.
A State Department spokesman said a delegation from the Biden administration “discussed the climate crisis” with a mainland Chinese delegation in Alaska this week, but the two sides did not set up a working group on the issue, contrary to mainland media reports, Axios news site reported on July 21.
More broadly, we know that the climate challenge cannot be successfully addressed without significant additional action by China,” the spokesman told Axios. In addition to its carbon-intensive investments overseas, China accounts for nearly 30 percent of global carbon emissions.”
Apollo.com commentator Wang Dulan commented that the Chinese Communist Party media report said two things in total. The U.S. and China established a joint working group on climate change, which was refuted by the U.S. side, and did not establish a working group on climate change with the CCP. In addition, the Chinese Communist Party wants to restore the U.S. Consulate in Houston, so the Chinese Communist Party has announced that the two sides will hold discussions with each other about the activities of diplomatic and consular offices and personnel, as well as issues related to the media and journalists. But the U.S. side wants to do what it wants, has not yet made any indication on this matter.
Trump will return to the social media “with his own platform” in the near future
On March 21, Trump aide Jason Miller told Fox News that Trump will launch his new platform within two to three months and restart his social media accounts on the platform, which he said will ‘completely redefine the game’ and attract millions of new users.
Miller said Trump still “has a lot of political clout in the Republican Party”. The public welcomed Miller’s public message, which was supported by Trump.
Restaurant owner defeats government in court over refusal of masks to be allowed to stay open
A restaurant owner in Fredericksburg, Virginia, defeated the local government department, the Northam Administration, in court after the owner refused to enforce a mandatory mask order and was asked by the government health department to shut down his business.
Judge Ricardo Rigual denied the state health department’s request to immediately close the Gourmeltz restaurant. While the case may still face a subsequent legal hearing, the restaurant will remain open in the meantime.
The National Archives reports that Gourmeltz owner Mark Strickland, a Marine veteran of the war on terror, said the mandatory mask order violates the law. He said the mandatory mask order violates the freedom of choice of businesses and customers.
We are pleased with the judge’s ruling and happy for our clients,” Martha Norton, one of Strickland’s attorneys, told local reporters. “We look forward to resolving the merits of the case in a full trial.”
Against Communist China, Bipartisan Senate Pushes Common Bill
In today’s fierce conflict between the left and right in the United States, confronting the Chinese Communist Party has become one of the few points of consensus among all classes and parties in the United States.
U.S. media outlet NBC recently reported that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) has been pushing for action against the CCP, with the goal of getting bipartisan legislation in the spring session.
Schumer and Republican Sen. Todd Young (R-Texas) have introduced the Endless Frontier Act. The bill would invest more than $100 billion to promote emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, quantum computing and robotics. These are areas where the Chinese Communist Party has stepped up its competition with the United States.
Schumer said the bill contains three elements: enhancing U.S. competitiveness in manufacturing and innovation; strengthening U.S. partnerships with NATO and India; and new measures to expose, deter and end once and for all the predatory practices of the Chinese Communist Party.
“On the bill (on) China, we have good bipartisan support.” Schumer told reporters March 16.
Observers from both parties say Washington is being pushed to find consensus on the Chinese Communist Party.
In U.S.-China talks, U.S. falls into four Communist Party traps
Recently the U.S. and China held high-level talks in Alaska, and some commentators believe that the U.S. side fell into four traps of the Chinese Communist Party when it agreed to hold talks with the Chinese side. The U.S. side clearly has a good hand, but it did not play it effectively.
Current affairs commentator Wang He said in a commentary in Epoch Times that, first, the holding of high-level talks between the U.S. and China is itself a trap for the Chinese Communist Party. In fact, as far as the current state of U.S.-China relations is concerned, it is the CCP that is begging the U.S.: don’t continue the decoupling and sanctions. Without a substantive offer (concession) from the Chinese side, there would have been no need for the U.S. to hold the talks.
However, the U.S. side “invited” the CCP to the talks when its policy on dealing with the CCP is still unclear, and the CCP has always been good at engaging in “dialogue traps.
Second, Yang Jiechi broke the rules of the talks and spoke for 16 minutes, and his speech was scripted, which was obviously intentional.
In his speech, Yang Jiechi said, “I believe that the vast majority of countries in the world do not recognize the universal values stated by the United States, do not recognize the statements of the United States as international public opinion, and do not recognize the rules made by a few people as the so-called ‘rule-based’ international order. “. This is a clear indication that in the future, the CCP will no longer abide by the rules set by the United States. This is a very serious provocation, but the U.S. side sat there honestly and listened to the whole thing.
Third, Yang Jiechi drew a “red line” for the U.S. side, not the other way around.
To summarize what Yang Jiechi said into one sentence, he said in his opening remarks that no one can strangle China (the CCP). This implies that the CCP is not afraid to confront the U.S. and uses the confrontation as a means to deter the U.S. side from retreating without a fight.
Fourth, the U.S. side is begging the CCP to cooperate despite the fierce confrontation between the two sides.
Biden Administration officials have said they are open to easing some of the visa restrictions imposed on Chinese citizens under Trump. In this way, the offensive and defensive positions are different, and the U.S., which had the upper hand, has given way to a voluntary beating.
The article said, in short, the Chinese Communist Party is more cunning and evil than normal people can imagine, through this meeting, throwing stones, firepower reconnaissance, to find out the bottom of the U.S., it is expected that the next step will have a strong tactics to make, such as after eating a fixed Hong Kong, the magic palm to Taiwan.
The U.S. side has a good hand, but can not play the effect. What is the problem? Ultimately, the U.S. policymakers must first recognize the evil nature of the Chinese Communist regime and know themselves and their opponents in order to win.
After the US-China meeting, the US, China and Russia are making moves
Radio Free Asia reports that the choice of Alaska as the venue for the first meeting between the U.S. and China since the Biden administration took office seems to be lurking more risky for the relationship between the two sides, and may even involve neighboring Russia.
The meeting brought the differences between the two sides to the surface again, with Politico reporting that it was a showdown between the U.S. and China.
After the showdown, the two sides have taken their own actions in a more intense manner. According to the U.S. State Department on March 19, Secretary of State Blinken will travel to Brussels, Belgium, for a NATO ministerial meeting with EU leaders from March 22 to 25.
The State Department noted in a statement that the meeting will discuss the NATO 2030 reform report, concerns about China and Russia, as well as cybersecurity and energy security issues. Blinken will also use the occasion to demonstrate the Biden administration’s determination to strengthen allied relations.
Meanwhile, the Chinese Communist Party has also invited Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov to visit from March 22 to 23, drawing widespread attention.
The Russian Foreign Ministry stressed in connection with the meeting that Russia and China oppose the tampering with accepted norms of international law and that the two countries intend to coordinate their diplomatic efforts more closely, according to RIA Novosti.
The Chinese Communist Party’s closed-door trial of former Canadian diplomat Kang Mingkai in Beijing on June 22 drew the attention of Western countries. 28 diplomats from 26 countries showed solidarity with Canada outside the courtroom.
Diplomats from 26 countries show solidarity with Canada outside the courtroom at the end of U.S.-China talks on the trial of the second Canadian
The Communist Party’s Second Intermediate People’s Court in Beijing held a closed-door trial of former Canadian diplomat Kang Mingkai on Monday (22). The Chinese Communist Party has accused Kang of allegedly spying on state secrets and intelligence for foreign countries.
A Reuters correspondent reported that 28 diplomats from 26 countries, including the United States, Britain, Germany, Australia, the Netherlands and the Czech Republic, went outside the court in solidarity with Canada under the close watch of Beijing police.
“We have repeatedly asked to sit in on the trial of Kang Mingkai, but have been denied,” Ni Jie Min (Jim Nickel left ), a pro tempore at the Canadian Embassy in China, told foreign media on March 22.
On Friday 19, just as the top Chinese and U.S. met, a Chinese Communist Party court in Dandong City opened a trial against Canadian national Spavor on charges of spying and illegally providing state secrets for overseas, ending without a verdict. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau criticized the Chinese Communist Party for arbitrarily detaining the two men and for the unacceptable lack of transparency in the trial process.
The two Canadians were abruptly arrested by the Chinese Communist Party authorities in late 2018. The Chinese Communist Party’s move is widely seen by the international community as hostage diplomacy, in retaliation for Canada’s arrest of huawei‘s chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou.
Many diplomatic experts and lawmakers believe that the freedom of Kang and Spavor will depend in part on the outcome of the U.S.-China talks, as well as the efforts of the U.S. government.
During a high-level meeting between the U.S. and China last week, the U.S. side expressed deep concern about the Communist Party’s trial of Kang and Spavor. Secretary of State John Blinken has said that they should be rescued as if they were U.S. citizens.
