No one spoke against it, and it passed by a 413-1 vote.

So who is the one on the CCP payroll who voted no?

1 ( +1 / -0 )

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) was the sole "no" vote.

he is the guy who is always concerned with the Congressional votes being taken remotely, he says the Constitution doesnt support that. He did the same with the coronavirus voting.

So likely another grandstand on that position rather than actually being against the sanctions.

All US trade with China needs to be placed under rules requiring prior govt approvals as long as humans rights, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Uighurs and lying to the WHO are an issue.

US companies need to be forbidden from having any facilities in China as well. MSFT, Cisco, Tesla and probably 500 other companies need to get out.

The USgovt should deal with Chinese companies the same why that Chinese Govt deals with US and other foreign companies. Laws followed haphazardly, highly selective prosecutions, forever changing rules. Chinese companies in the US need to have less than 50% foreign ownership. Technology transfers for the next 20 yrs need to be mandatory.

While the US is at it, it should formally recognize Taiwan as a separate country. I'd like to see the CCP red faces when that happens.
