Increased scrutiny of these companies is a national security imperative, and delisting these companies, these Chinese military companies, cooperators in genocide, and proponents of the PLA's military modernization, must be an absolute…
This amendment is necessitated by the fact that, at every opportunity, our President has chosen to placate rather than punish China. Appeasement has long been a failed strategy, and it continues to fail us today. Last year, Joe Biden…

I appreciate my colleague's comments, but the pressure being applied by this administration is clearly ineffective. Just ask the families of the kids in my State or your State or his State who have overdosed because of the moral…
