Then-U.S. Vice President Joe Biden and Chinese Communist Party President Xi Jinping at a state dinner in Washington, Sept. 25, 2015.
Senior conservative members of the U.S. House of Representatives are launching a legislative offensive against Democratic President Joe Biden to expose Biden’s timidity and weakness in the face of the Chinese Communist threat and his cozy relationship with the Chinese Communist Party.
According to Breitbart News, the campaign is being led by Jim Banks, chairman of the Republican Study Committee (RSC), the largest caucus of House Republican conservatives. The initiative, led by Rep. Jim Banks (R-Okla.), began on Tuesday (Feb. 16) and will continue throughout the week, including information outreach and a series of proposals aimed at curbing Chinese (Communist) influence and aggression.
Banks said they plan to conduct such frequent surprise legislative actions on major issues to counter the agenda pushed by Biden from the White House and congressional Democrats. the RSC will put forward at least 17 proposals to spell out the Chinese Communist threat to the U.S.
Banks: Biden has undone nearly every tough action Trump has taken against the CCP
Banks noted that “the Biden Administration has undone nearly every tough action the Trump (Trump) administration has taken against China (CCP) and has shown a clear pattern of returning to the strategy of supporting the rise of the CCP.”
“It’s not enough to compete with China (CCP), we must continue what President Trump has done to confront the CCP. The CCP is not a partner, it is the greatest threat to freedom and prosperity in the United States and around the world, and if we fail to treat them as such, we will taste serious consequences.”
The RSC compiled a six-page background memo explaining the House conservatives’ views on China (CCP), and the document opens by explaining the differences between Trump and Biden in their philosophies and approaches to China (CCP), and details how Biden has weakened the United States while empowering the CCP in his approach to Pacific Rim policy from the beginning of his administration.
On his second day in office, Biden issued a string of executive orders to help the CCP, including (1) rejoining the World health Organization (WHO), which had worked to cover up that the Wuhan virus pandemic originated in China, and (2) allowing Chinese and Russian companies access to the U.S. power grid and revoking Trump’s order barring them from the nation’s energy supply.
Five days later, Biden’s nominee for Commerce Secretary, Gina Raimondo, refused to keep huawei on the Commerce Department’s entity blacklist, a list that prevents Huawei’s technology use from being authorized in the United States.
The day after that, Biden’s Treasury Department delayed until May an executive order introduced by Trump to sanction Chinese military companies operating in the United States.
All of the above came to fruition in Biden’s first week in office.
RSC Documents Expose Background Information on Biden Administration Officials and Chinese Communist Party Ties
The RSC documents also list background information on several Biden officials with ties to the Chinese Communist Party, including: Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, Commerce Secretary nominee Gina Raimondo, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Alejandro Mayorkas, CIA Director William Burns, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations nominee Linda Thomas-Greenfield, and Colin Kahl, the nominee for undersecretary of defense for policy.
In other words, the Biden administration’s ties to the Chinese Communist Party span the entire federal government, from the White House to the CIA to the State Department to the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security, and even to senior positions in the Treasury and Commerce Departments.
The timing of this action by House conservatives comes on the heels of Biden’s first call with Xi Jinping last week. The content of their call has so far been unclear to the outside world.
According to a reading of the call released by the White House, the two leaders discussed Biden’s concerns about “Beijing‘s coercive and unfair economic practices, its crackdown on Hong Kong, its human rights violations in Xinjiang, and its increasingly assertive actions in the region, including against Taiwan,” as well as the viral pandemic and other issues, such as “global health security. such as “global health security” and “climate change.
Conservatives list elements of bill to confront Communist China
Banks’ team says that conservatives want to confront China (the Chinese Communist Party), while Biden just wants pure competition with China (the Chinese Communist Party), which is impossible because the Chinese Communist Party will not play fair; on the bright side, the Biden administration is not focusing on the Chinese Communist Party issue; but on the bad side, it is mishandling it.
Banks himself introduced five bills, including: stopping funding for the CCP military, placing restrictions on CCP acquisitions, and three pieces of legislation that had broad prior support.
The first proposal, the Online Consumer Protection Act (OCPA), was introduced in the Senate by Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL).
The second and third are the Safe Career Transitions for Intelligence and National Security Professionals Act, which was mentioned in the House Republican China Task Force report last year and the Protect Our Universities Act.
Other Representatives involved in the legislative battle include: Ronny Jackson (D-CA), Greg Steube (R-CA), Joe Wilson (D-CA), Greg Murphy (R-CA), Ralph Norman (D-CA), Lance (Gooden), Jeff Duncan, Bob Good, Lauren Boebert, Chip Roy and Debbie Lesko.
Jackson’s bill, which would prohibit Biden from lifting Trump’s sanctions on Chinese Communist military companies.
Stoeib’s bill, which would prohibit Biden from lifting a designation made by Trump through the Commerce Department that Huawei remain on the blacklist unless it no longer serves the Chinese Communist Party and no longer threatens U.S. national security. Stoeib also has another bill that would require Chinese visa holders in the United States to disclose to the Department of Homeland Security any funds they receive from the Chinese Communist Party.
Wilson’s and Murphy’s bills, both require disclosure of the transparency of the Confucius Institute. Gooden’s bill, on the other hand, would require think tanks and nonprofit organizations that receive more than $50,000 per year in funding from foreign governments to publicly disclose that information.
Norman’s bill, among others, would prohibit funding to the Chinese Communist military; require sponsors of foreign student and researcher visas to notify the Department of Homeland Security when a visa holder is involved in a federally funded research project, and allow for the removal of the person’s name if national security officials believe there is a threat.
Duncan’s bill, would prevent Biden from lifting Trump’s ban on Chinese and Russian companies’ access to the U.S. energy grid. And Goode’s bill would require investigation and reporting when tax dollars are used to help the Chinese Communist Party anywhere in the world.
Burbot’s bill, would permanently remove the United States from the WHO because of the organization’s apparent influence from the Chinese Communist Party.
Roe’s bill, on the other hand, calls for an award to the Wuhan doctor who discovered the Chinese Communist virus (Wuhan pneumonia) in the first place.
Lesko’s bill, would prevent CCP officials and senior CCP members from entering the U.S. until the CCP state stops stealing U.S. intellectual property.
