Foxx: Democrats' Bill Appeases China
WASHINGTON, D.C.,
February 2, 2022
Today, Education and Labor Committee Republican Leader Virginia Foxx (R-NC) spoke on the House Floor in opposition to Democrats’ so-called America Competes Act, a bill that fails to protect Americans from the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) malign actions or to empower American job creators and workers.
Republican Leader Foxx's Remarks:
“Democrats’ China bill will weaken the United States on the world stage. This legislation isn’t about competing with China; this bill is about appeasing China.
“This is a bill without teeth and does too little to confront the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) while simultaneously curbing the success and opportunities of American job creators and workers. “Contrary to my colleagues’ statements just now, this bill is not positive for our workforce. “By further centralizing apprenticeship programs and giving unions unfair advantages over small businesses, this bill closes pathways to success for many American workers. “This legislation also fails to curb the CCP’s influence at our universities and workplaces. “Where there should be action, Democrats promote inaction. “Where there should be strength, Democrats show weakness. “Where there should be security, Democrats make our country more vulnerable. “This is not the America Competes Act; this is the America Concedes Act.” Watch the full video here. ### |
