They are not scared, they are trying to justify banning China from the "free market". West is falling apart, they have been marketing themselves as the rightous people dying for others freedom and respecting human life while having a free and open market. But with the killings in gaza, 30 000 civilians dead and out of them 13 000 children, everyone knows its just about what benefits west its never about international law and human rights. Same thing with China, China is beating them in their own game. This is very intolerable for west. The system is created in a way where the money only circulate in west, even when its a fat arab oil sheik selling oil for usd. Because they come back and spend it west, they have nothing but oil. But with China its different, they have an empire to feed and their production is unmatched.

Do you think he learned form this encounter? NO! Unless MAGA is defeated at the polls, they will keep making a mockery of all of us! Vote Blue to that this senator can go home!

[@donnydenzel2288]

​​@@AjZ530it's to get everything on record. He said he isn't a CCP member or associated with CCP or China in any way shape or form. After this hearing it's all on record, and then if it gets found out that he lied about anything, he could be persecuted. He can't lie if anything is found now
