How to Respond to China’s Human Rights Abuses U.S. Lawmakers: Stop Trade

U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (D-CA) has suggested that the United States should stop trading with China because of the Communist Party’s egregious record of human rights abuses.

Speaking to Epoch Times on January 5, Rep. Greene said she is not sure if the Chinese Communist Party intervened in the U.S. election, but how exactly the U.S. should respond to the Chinese Communist Party’s human rights violations while several U.S. administrations have adopted a policy of appeasement, withholding criticism and silence for decades, she said, “Personally, I think you should stop doing business with people who mistreat others. people to do business with.”

“We shouldn’t be rewarding ugly behavior, like human rights violations and such terrible issues.”

The Communist Party’s human rights record is abysmal. The U.S. State Department has listed the CCP as a country of special concern (CPC) for religious freedom violations every year since 1999.

Pompeo, a former U.S. State Department official, has said that the CPC has declared war on all faiths and “[the CPC] persecutes Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Falun Gong practitioners. No one is spared under the CPC.”

Before leaving office, Pompeo also declared that the CCP had committed genocide and Crimes Against Humanity in Xinjiang.

Not only Xinjiang, but the CCP has also committed genocide and crimes against humanity against other groups.

In March 2020, the Independent People’s Tribunal in London, England, issued a written verdict stating that the CCP had committed “crimes against humanity” against both Falun Gong and the Uighur community in Xinjiang.

The verdict said, “Forced organ harvesting has been taking place on a large scale across China for many years, and Falun Gong practitioners are one of the – and probably the main – sources of human organs.”

Lord Alton of Liverpool, England, also recently introduced a Genocide Amendment Bill to prevent Britain from trading with countries that commit genocide.
