Brad Sherman

Thank you for giving me the chance to share my story and be the voice of my people here today.

I am here to ask the Congress and the President to stand up for freedom.

I have been the loudest voice on the committee for peace in the South China Sea, and for a cooling off of naval relations between our countries.

China policy will never be quite the same again, which is as much a function of the Chinese government's aggression and its terrible track record on human rights issues.

I just salute your brave activism there.

We see you. We hear you. We are going to fight for you, no matter what it takes, until we can take apart this repressive gulag, really, that exists in Xinjiang.

For the record, if China is watching, I hope you put me on the blacklist. I would be honored.

I think at this point the U.S. should be considering, for example, stating explicitly that it is pursuing consular cases.

One would hope that people would read the statute and realize you cannot ignore human rights statutes, even if you think that is achieving another purpose.

I certainly have not read any report of anybody making it from our embassy in Beijing out to western China.

Why the U.S. Government has not drawn a line about our participation in the World Bank and demanded a zero approach to subsidizing the Chinese government is something I addressed to Mr. Mnuchin.

Right. And we do know that it is the position of the Chinese government, buy the Chinese products, and that is one of the reasons why we have the world's--the largest trade deficit in history with China.

And they claim that they will lower their tariffs, we will lower ours, and we will have fair trade.

What you tell us is chilling and may justify the tariffs we have on Chinese goods.

I also ask Congress to pass the Uyghur Human Rights Bill before the end of the year.

The pro-democracy candidates won 388 seats, up from 126, with a similar decline on the pro-establishment candidates.

This social credit score will also be used to penalize those who buy, say, American cars or otherwise help reduce the U.S.-China trade deficit.

I look forward to working with you.

I am working on legislation that would solve this problem and link these LIBOR-denominated instruments to the secured overnight financing rate so far.

I did make a list of all the problems she had with the financial services tax, and every single one of them would be avoided with a wealth tax.

We stand with the people of Lebanon. We stand with the people of Iran.

As long as China benefits one penny from this institution, it is an attack on the national security of the United States.

I want to thank the chairman for holding this markup on these important issues, commend the authors on their bills and their leadership, and I am a cosponsor in each of the bills that are before us.

The role of the U.S. dollar saves the average American family $1,000 in interest costs.

Cryptocurrency either doesn't work, in which case investors lose a lot of money, or it does achieve its objectives perhaps and displaces the U.S. dollar.
