House Republicans Move to Cripple China’s Growing Military

WFB-

The Congressional China Task Force unveiled a legislative proposal Wednesday to cripple China’s military industrial base by blacklisting any company tied to Chinese armed forces.

The goal is to economically isolate the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), one of the primary instruments of China’s expanding influence.

The report also calls for major increases to the U.S. defense budget to “modernize our nuclear triad and conventional weapons, [and] develop cutting-edge capabilities to counter China in space and cyberspace,” Rep. Liz Cheney (R., Wyo.), the China Task Force’s deputy chair, told the Washington Free Beacon.

Although he provided a great deal of valuable details about the growth of Hitler’s Luftwaffe to the War Department, he was painted as a willing stooge of the Nazis. In a year or two, these Americans are going to find themselves branded as war mongers and people who still fear the Chinese military despite Ambassador Hunter Biden’s best efforts to restore good relations with the People’s Republic of China.
