Are we getting equal access in broadcast coverage to Belarus and Russia with organizations like VOA and RFERL as we give RT and Sputnik in this country?

The best thing I think we can do as a Nation is economic pressure.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. And I appreciate all the witnesses' testimony.

Let's be clear: what is happening in Myanmar toward the Rohingya is State-sponsored genocide, period.

Conditions for the Rohingya worsened to a horrific extent several years ago when the region erupted into full-scale, State-sponsored violence, killing tens of thousands and forcing over 700,000 to flee to neighboring countries like…

I look forward to this hearing--from hearing from each of you in how the United States can better save this population and hold the government of Myanmar accountable for its abuses.

During my time in Congress, my colleagues and I have repeatedly striven to hold the government of Myanmar accountable for its ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya.

We as a Nation need to invoke these other nations.

American tax dollars should not fund any kind of foreign assistance going to regimes responsible for disenfranchising over a billion of its own people.

We need to come together with policies that we can pass in a bipartisan manner.

These attacks are tawdry. I mean, they are just cheap shots that aren't going to solve any problems.

We need to continue that because we are focusing on what is best for America, and if we do that things work out a lot better instead of dividing.

By god, it is time that we raise up our vision and we look down the road of where America is going.

It is critical that it has equity authority.

That was a team effort. That was this body. That was Congress working the way it is supposed to on a bilateral, bipartisan manner.

You cannot fight a pandemic if you do not have potable water.

There is going to be a food shortage that I do not think we have seen on this level in a very long time.

We have given them over 500, the way I understand it.

The rioting in Hong Kong, approaching a year now, is solely the results of Xi and the Communist Party breaking those agreements.

In modern civil societies there must be a mechanism or forum for people to address grievances to their government peacefully.

The Chinese Communist Party and Xi Jinping have blatantly disregarded the agreement between Great Britain and China.

China's actions are not those of a responsible, wanna-be superpower. China will not alter its course or actions in the East Sea, the South China Sea, Arctic, or elsewhere until it meets sufficient resistance to change its behavior.

I do not want to get into too much politics, but, you know, we pulled out of TPP, and Hillary Clinton as candidate said she would have pulled out of that.

We cannot afford to secede that to anybody or lose that to anybody.

If we do not stand up to China today, it will not be possible.
