House Republicans have brought forth a new proposal that would place sanctions on Chinese President Xi Jinping, along with thousands in the Chinese Communist party.
The proposal was introduced by Lisa McClain (R-Mich.) and has received support from Republican Study Committee chairman Jim Banks (R-Ind.) and rank member of the House Armed Services Committee Mike Rogers (R-Ala.), along with a number of other Republican co-sponsors.
As first reported by Breitbart, the “Stop CCP Act,” would block more than 2,000 CCP officials and their families from gaining visas to travel to the U.S. and stop them from using the American financial system. The proposal would affect every member of the CCP’s National Congress along with President Xi.
Likewise American companies operating in China would not be allowed to conduct any business with the sanctioned officials or their families.
“China is one of the biggest threats to the safety and security of the United States and the world,” McClain said to Breitbart. “Sanctioning leaders of the CCP is a commonsense way to show China and the world that we are sick and tired of their aggressive, bully-like tactics.”
The stated conditions for ending the sanctions are that the CCP ends its genocide of Uyghurs, abuse of Hong Kong, aggression towards Taiwan, and theft of American intellectual property.
“The Chinese Communist Party must be held accountable for their egregious and disturbing human rights abuses,” Rogers said. “Every day that Joe Biden hesitates in holding the CCP accountable for genocide and slave labor the CCP only grows more emboldened in their campaign of evil.”
