I chaired a hearing on the importance of declaring Putin, and others, war criminals, but Putin especially.

I wish to speak in support of Chairman Meeks' Countering Malign Russian Activities in Africa Act, of which I am an original cosponsor. While so much of the world's attention is rightfully focused on Russia's atrocities in Ukraine, Vladimir…

I support S. 812, which came to us from the Senate, and which calls for the Administration to develop a strategy for Taiwan to regain observer status at the World Health Organization. As we know, Taiwan stands as a beacon of democracy in…

I thank my good friend for yielding, and I thank both Ranking Member McCaul and Chairman Meeks for their extraordinary leadership on this important bill that is before us today. I want to thank Mr. Meeks for his eloquent remarks a moment…

I am concerned by reports that our embassy in Guatemala... in violation of the Vienna Convention.

Please scale that up. That was the message from the UNHCR.

The key is to indict Putin now, right now.

Russian oil and gas is absolutely financing Putin's horrific war of aggression. I am for this bill, but there are provisions in this one in particular that should not be in here. Mr. Speaker, I am the prime sponsor of the Global Magnitsky…

Over the weekend I met with over 100 Ukrainian Americans in my district office in Freehold, New Jersey. They told me how their families and friends in Ukraine are coping with Putin's barbaric invasion, the loss of life, the many who are…

all of our hearts and prayers are for you, as you have suffered so much

I think they are worthy of protection and, you know, I've----

I believe that the abuse is when a child is, literally, dismembered--killed by dismemberment or chemical poisoning.

If only one child or two or even three was allowed, there was a girl who was exterminated, something we all called and call 'gendercide.'

Human rights abuses against women cannot be ignored.

For decades, the women in China were subjected to the brutal one-child-per-couple policy under which countless numbers of women were forcibly aborted and sterilized against their will.

We know that children before birth feel pain at least at 20 weeks, and now the evidence is strongly suggesting that as they're being dismembered at 15 weeks they feel that, too.

Xi Jinping is continuing his genocide.

The machinery of the forced-abortion policy remains intact and that is cause for great, great concern.

I had a hearing in 2016. I had several hearings. One of them was with Mara Hvistendahl, who said in 2013 that there were over 160 million missing girls in Asia--160 million as a direct result of sex-selection abortion.

we're all focused on what Xi Jinping is doing in Xinjiang

The trauma of being abducted and forcibly brought to an abortionist by police and family-planning cadres has few parallels in the world.

The Beijing Olympics should not be used as a platform for the Chinese Communist Party to promote its agenda.

I hope that the WTA will stand up for Peng Shuai, and for women.

I want to thank Speaker Pelosi for joining us here today. You have been a champion on human rights in China throughout your entire tenure in Congress.

But the United States and the international community know the truth: the People's Republic of China is perpetrating a campaign of gross human rights violations, including genocide.
