It is time we move beyond the false belief that the CCP will ever deal in good faith.

This should be a wake-up call to all Americans.

We are living through one of the most dangerous periods in American foreign policy in a generation.

Every day we should make sure people around the world know that our aid is not the debt-trap diplomacy that the CCP uses to exploit developing countries.

Both the USAID and the Development Finance Corporation play key roles in developing lasting partnerships and long-term development in trade with other countries.

If BIS continues to mindlessly green light sensitive technology sales, the CCP has proven they will use our own inventions against us.

We need to make it clear to China this will not be tolerated.

We must make clear that we do not seek war, and we will work to avoid it.

If our national security mandates more dramatic action, I will oppose, I will take it.

The U.S. should not be complicit in these abhorrent practices.

Whatever action the United States government takes must be thoughtful, holistic, and with our American values, which we must never yield on, in mind.
