We need consistency in the White House, and we need a consistent adherence to our own standards of human rights.
We need to reject this Chinese violation of China's own international commitments and the commitments they have made to their own people.
I joined Representative Curtis in introducing a bipartisan, bicameral bill, the Hong Kong Safe Harbor Act...
Today is not just the anniversary of the first handover of Hong Kong to the CCP, it is also the 1-year anniversary of a heroic act by one of our witnesses here today, Brian Leung.
So, I worry very much that they play the long game. I worry that they will say, well, there will be an upheaval in the world now, but we will get away with this, just like we have gotten away with this in the past.
We sit here, as the Speaker said, not as Republicans or Democrats, but as Americans united in our strong support for Hong Kong.
I strongly support targeted sanctions. But, to be frank, I do not think they are going to do much good.
40 million Americans have lost their jobs in the biggest global pandemic in modern history. Not long ago, most of them would have lost their health insurance, too. I bet that in the last 3 months every single one of us, Republican and…
Shared values and principles like freedom of navigation matter, but China ignored an international court ruling that declared they had violated the U.N. Convention for the Law of the Sea in 2016.
China has to make that decision. Does it want to be a responsible global leader or will it be a nation that sits apart?
I do think this is a top issue. Clearly, in the 21st century, the Indo-Pacific region and its maritime security, and freedom of navigation, will be increasingly important and should be at the top of our foreign policy concerns.
I will proudly vote for the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act because I believe that Black lives matter, because I believe that nobody in America should have to fear an encounter with police simply because of the color of their skin…
For the last 3 months, tens of millions of our fellow Americans have chosen to make painful sacrifices to keep one another safe. They made that choice before any Governor of any State told them they had to. They did what they thought was…
I will vote ``yes'' on the HEROES Act today because it will help the small towns I represent and keep our first responders on the job. I wish that my colleagues would listen to the Republican and Democratic local leaders who are pleading…
And I wish it went without saying, but big banks should not be writing the rules here. We should be.
Before we add more money to PPP, let's add rules that prevent big companies with access to other capital from gobbling up loans that should be going to truly small businesses.
The PPP is an important, necessary program to keep businesses alive and employees on the payroll, but I don't need to tell you that the rollout of this program in many parts of the country has been a disaster.
I am livid that the Senate and the administration refused to consider a single change to the program to ensure that banks treat all of their customers with equal respect.
I am proud to stand here today and to say to my constituents in Phillipsburg, in Dover, and in Clark who are out of work, to our restaurant owners in Somerville and Summit, to our nurses and doctors at Overlook and Hunterdon Medical: Help…
It is a shame that we do not have that many members of the press... not nearly as great as what is happening in Idlib.
