WASHINGTON—Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) wants to know why the Peace Corps spends millions of U.S. tax dollars annually in China and sends dozens of volunteers to work on projects that the Beijing government should be paying for with its own resources.
“Peace Corps volunteers are charged with promoting freedom and spreading American ideals to developing countries across the globe,” Scott said in a statement he issued after meeting with Peace Corps Director Jody Olsen on July 11.
During the meeting, Scott asked Olsen to “end Peace Corps programs in China,” but his request was denied. Even so, Scott said in his statement that he expects cooperation from the Peace Corps with his request.
“China steals our technology and intellectual property, refuses to open up their markets, refuses to allow human rights and supports Maduro’s genocide in Venezuela,” he said.
“China is also militarizing the South China Sea and building its military to compete with the United States on the world stage. I’ve asked the Peace Corps to pull all volunteers and resources from China immediately, and I look forward to their swift cooperation.”
The Peace Corps was was established by President John F. Kennedy in 1961.
“What the Peace Corps shouldn’t be doing is propping up our adversaries with U.S. tax dollars. Let’s remember, China is a wealthy nation that certainly has the resources to fund initiatives,” Scott said. read more
Because clinton, obama, biden and bush were bribed.
Why don’t we give all the Chinese free college as well?
ForFucksSake!
The Chinese should be able to vote in US elections. Why discriminate against non-citizens just because they aren’t physically able to walk across our borders? Isn’t that some kind of awful ism?
Lets just relocate the Pentagon to Beijing and hire only locals to staff the departments. And lets also cooperate with Chinese engineers to upgrade their jets to 5th generation as well as their icbm’s to improve accuracy.
We may as well, Hillary and others have trickled it to them anyway.
