In a fiery statement, RSC Chairman Kevin Hern minced no words, highlighting the urgent need to confront the CCP menace head-on. He emphasized that the time for niceties and false friendships with China is over, stressing that the CCP’s ambitions pose a profound danger to American sovereignty. It’s about time we put America first and show the CCP that we mean business!
Republican Rep. Joe Wilson echoed these sentiments, expressing gratitude for the initiative to combat the CCP’s insidious reach into critical sectors like education and the economy. With China’s authoritarian grip tightening, it’s imperative that the United States takes decisive action to protect our values and national security from this ruthless regime.
The Countering Communist China Act doesn’t stop at words—it packs a punch with provisions targeting Chinese officials and entities involved in nefarious activities. By imposing sanctions until drug-related fatalities plummet significantly, the bill aims to hold the CCP accountable for the devastating impact of the opioid crisis on American lives. It’s high time we hold China responsible for the havoc they’ve wreaked on our communities!
Moreover, the legislation takes a strong stance against reliance on Chinese-made electric vehicle batteries within the Department of Defense and federal purchasing practices. By restricting the use of these components, the bill underscores the importance of reducing our dependence on China for critical resources and maintaining our domestic manufacturing capabilities.
The Countering Communist China Act represents a significant step towards safeguarding America’s future against the threats posed by the CCP. It’s a resounding call to action for Congress to prioritize national security, economic resilience, and the protection of American values in the face of a growing global adversary. Let’s rally behind this legislation and show the world that America will not cower in the face of tyranny!
