Again, we could have vigorous debate, but we are always friends and working together.

I do not believe we should be passing legislation without a waiver. The world is simply too unpredictable for Congress to sometimes permanently--permanently lock in the executive branch to sanctions policies.

That's not trying to come up to something where we can really work on something that's important.

the bill is about the PRC's surveillance balloon and an effort to call the PRC out for its violations of U.S. sovereignty and it actually has nothing to do with Taiwan.

I hope my colleagues on the other side of the aisle will consider this amendment seriously.

I concur that I am very concerned about some of the conversations that we have had with China contemplating giving Russia weapons.

I was proud, along with Representative Ami Bera and Representative Tom Cole, bipartisan way, to introduce the Countering Economic Coercion Act of 2023

Let me be clear on this. I believe concerns about TikTok by the United States government and our allies are justified.

To use them to conclude that problematic transactions are taking place is both wrong and I believe disingenuous.

Based on our conversations, I was really expecting your legislation to focus more narrowly on TikTok rather that the entire Chinese economy.

This is a simple amendment that I am offering to improve the legislation offered by my colleague, Representative Andy Barr.
