Follow along here for updates from my @HudsonInstitute speech on the threat of Communist China 👇.
@HudsonInstitute Today, we’re here to talk about the threat we face from Communist China – and remember it is Communist China. We can’t forget that.
@HudsonInstitute For far too long, since President Nixon boldly traveled to Communist China in 1972, the United States has pursued a policy of cooperation and integration.
@HudsonInstitute Our posture towards Communist China has simply strengthened a determined adversary, and one that views this conflict as a zero-sum game. They win, we lose.
@HudsonInstitute Communist China does not want to join the community of nations so much as it wants to rule it.
The result, whether we want to admit it or not, is a new Cold War.

@HudsonInstitute Our commitment to peace, democracy and human rights around the globe MUST be paired with an equally global strategy to deal with the growing threat of Communist China.
@HudsonInstitute What I’ve tried to focus on throughout my first year in the U.S. Senate is finding every opportunity possible to reveal Communist China’s true intentions and their fundamentally anti-democratic worldview.
@HudsonInstitute We’ve seen a tectonic shift in the way policy-makers view the problem of Communist China. It may be the only issue that both parties fundamentally agree on.
We’re taking the threat to our security and our way of life seriously, and that’s progress. But there’s much more to do.

@HudsonInstitute There is a human cost to the kind of anti-democratic, anti-religion and anti-human rights regime that General Secretary Xi is leading in Communist China.
@HudsonInstitute It’s the protestors in HK, the journalists risking their lives & safety to shine a light on injustice, the Uyghurs fighting back bravely in the face of suffering, the politicians questioning Xi’s leadership, the brave health workers who tried to warn us about the Coronavirus.
@HudsonInstitute We stand with the freedom-loving people of Hong Kong and Taiwan, the historically persecuted people of Tibet, the peaceful community of Uyghur Muslims and Falun Gong, and the journalists and political dissidents in Communist China.
@HudsonInstitute We stand for human rights and we stand against political neutrality in the face of evil.
@HudsonInstitute The challenge posed by Communist China is great. We must face this challenge head-on.
It will be the conflict that determines whether the world community will embrace the values of democracy & human rights or cower to the whims of dictators.

@HudsonInstitute I’ll fight every day to make sure we come down on the right side of history.
