And to all the transgender kids across the country, please know that you do have supporters here in Congress.

all they are doing is bullying defenseless children. And where I come from that is not good politics.

I appreciate your coming out of retirement to help us here. I think that you are doing a great job at setting the department up for the next level.

For every Peng Shuai there are thousands of others who have been disappeared, charged with crimes, and trolled online for speaking out.

Mr. Chairman, thank you so much. I also want to applaud the brave women of China who are speaking out against harassment, violence, and discrimination.

I was honored to lead the resolution in support of Peng, which passed the House unanimously.

I feel like I am back at the Northern Virginia Transportation Commission, except we are not here at nine on a Thursday night, so it is much, much better.

my constituents and I are very excited about the opening of Phase 2 of the Silver Line, which I think now at this time is imminent.

We should never let that happen. There's been a huge increase in anti-Asian hate and we want to make sure we get that under control.

One of the things that has become clear to me the more that I learn about China is that they play the long game.

I'm just encouraged that the U.S. has instituted this diplomatic boycott.

I represent a district here in Northern Virginia which has one of the highest populations of Uyghur Muslims outside of Xinjiang.

The stories that they tell me are terrifying, about what their families are going through back home.

The surveillance doesn't end in Xinjiang or in China.

Stop talking, and start doing.

It's because it's a police state and forced labor is so systemic that it's hard to determine if there's forced labor in the supply chain.

We don't agree on a lot, but we are completely united when it comes to this Commission.

I include in the Record the Liebengood Family Statement on the January 6 Commission and Security Supplemental. Liebengood Family Statement on the January 6 Commission and Security Supplemental ``We believe a thorough, non-partisan…

Thank you again, Administrator Power, for joining us today. And before I forget, I definitely want to thank you for your advocacy for the Uyghurs and Turkic Muslim minorities and Xinjiang and your strong stance against forced labor and in…

I agree that we should step up the pressure not only on the Chinese Government but also on global corporations and institutions that are turning a blind eye toward these gross human rights violations and even genocide.
