That Debbie Lasko is the worse one i've watched (although I've only watched a few questioners), she was rude & cut Chew off while he was trying to give his explanation. She also asked a question out of context but just wanted to take a stab at accusing China of human rights abuse against the Uyghurs which was uncalled for & irrelevant to this topic of this hearing.

@@calcifer4297 NO, because then he would be committing himself to his personal point of view about whether the Chinese government committed human rights abuse on the Uyghurs which has nothing to do with TikTok which Is also his own personal point of view & nothing to do with the hearing. The gearing is about the data security of TikTok, not human rights abuse. One has nothing to do with the other. He was smart to answer her that way. She was trying to sneak in a question ti defame the Chinese government, yes or no answer would commit himself on his personal point of view which she can later use against him. She’s either sneaky or she’s ignorant or she thinks people are stupid like her. The question has nothing to do with TikTok, period! Only ignorant people would agree with her! And he is not from China, how can he be associated with the CPC, you’d have to be a Chinese citizen. If she did her homework, she would know he’s a Singaporean citizen, that dumb Bria’s, so NO, it cannot be a Yes or No answer! She’s also ignorant for assuming he’s from China because she can’t tell Asians apart. It’s like assuming any black peoples are Africans & any White people are Americans because the true Americans are the Native Americans. And there is no proof there any genocides in Xinjiang which is a preposterous statement in itself. However, there is solid & historical proof that U.S. government & citizens committed genocide on Native Americans on the land which the U.S. government & citizens presently live & run today. www.fmprc.gov.cn/mfa_eng/wjdt_665385/2649_665393/202203/t20220302_10647120.html

Incredible, simply incredible! During the course of these 5 hours, a number of things have become clear. Firstly, it's alarming how ignorant some of congressmen are (Don't speak about this particular congresswoman, she is kind of fine comparing to the others. Even though she was also spinning the same broken record. But can imagine how much she is embarrassed to be in this group). If they can't even grasp the basics of how WiFi works, how can they possibly make decisions that affect the lives of millions? Did they even consult with an IT expert before they talk such nonsenses before the millions. Secondly, there appears to be a complete lack of self-awareness as a collective. Even if one of them were to display ignorance on a particular issue, the others seem incapable of correcting them. It's as if they all share the same stubborn, uninformed distorted perspective. Their behavior is discourteous and disrespectful, which is a subject in and of itself. Their actions don't even reflect the desires and the will of the general public. It's evident that their anti-China agenda has been pre-planned and pre-scripted, with no regard for its impact on the American people. I wonder if being anti-China is simply a political plot to remain relevant and gain votes, to pretend to have a policy of a concern? This is a kind of a reality show. I would like to see genuine effort to address the real issues that the US is currently facing. America, please, come to your senses, there are real issues begging to be solved.
