Beijing on July 1 defended its controversial national security law for Hong Kong and slammed the United States for its potential sanctions against Chinese officials.

Zhang Xiaoming, deputy director of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office—Beijing’s top agency for handling those territories’ policies—said at a press conference that countries that wanted to sanction Chinese officials were thinking in “the logic of robbers.”

The U.S. Statement Department announced last week that it will impose visa restrictions on Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials involved in eroding Hong Kong’s autonomy and freedoms. State Department Spokesperson Morgan Ortagus said on Twitter that the visa restrictions will also target CCP officials behind the national security law.

Cotton Statement on China Imposing National Security Law on Hong Kong

~ Randy Harris ~ 1 Comment

China is not our friend and we can thank numerous past Presidents and Congress who enabled China for years.  President Trump is right to be hard on the communist regime.  From crackdowns in Hong Kong, to silence and denial on the Wuhan virus and constant harassment of  Christians in China which include confiscation of private property and imprisonment.  Human rights is a joke.  We need a tough policy on China.  Below is a tweet from Sen. Tom Cotton, he is one of the good guys!

Washington, D.C. – Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) released the following statement after China passed a national security law for Hong Kong:

“Xi Jinping and his Communist thugs must face severe consequences for crushing Hong Kong’s freedoms. The House of Representatives should pass the Hong Kong Autonomy Act to impose punishing sanctions on Chinese Communist Party officials. The administration should consider all options at its disposal to deny Beijing the benefits of Hong Kong’s special financial and economic status. We cannot ignore China’s draconian actions.”

House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-Penn.) have asked the an investigative arm of Congress to investigate China’s involvement in America’s EB-5 Immigrant Investor Visa Program.

In a letter Monday to the Comptroller General of the U.S. Government Accountability Office, the lawmakers said the program was meant to encourage foreign capital investment and job creation in America but it appears it is being exploited by the Chinese Communist Party.

“Although the EB-5 program’s goal of stimulating capital investment and job creation in the United States is laudable, it has become clear in recent years that the CCP may be abusing the program to gain access to U.S. permanent residency for their members,” the letter says. “Between 2012 and 2018, 80 percent of the nearly 10,000 EB-5 visas available each year went to Chinese-born investors.”

 

Rules for Radicals

“Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off and history begins — or which is which),” Alinsky said, “the first radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer.”  written by Saul Alinsky (Obama’s ghost writer)

Maybe while we are sheltered in place, or should I say told by government officials to not leave our house, we should read more of how governments take control of our lives through fear.

Yes there is a virus, yes people die, but is the cure worse?  Over 20 million lost jobs, billions lost by hard wording people who invested in the market for retirement through 401k funds, small business nearing bankruptcy and the abnormal fear which is killing this country.  All for what, recent studies have shown over 80% of those with the virus either have no symptoms or very light issues and don’t even seek medical attention.  On top of that what if millions more have had the virus, which I believe I did in late December, that alone would drop the mortality rate well below the flu.  It’s time to end this.  Outside of some hot spots, re opening the country is the sane thing to do.
