In today’s episode of “What Will Congress Actually Do Right?”, the House has decided to finally tackle the growing threat of Chinese spies. Shocking, I know.

While Biden’s busy stumbling through foreign policy and Kamala’s off laughing at something we probably don’t understand, lawmakers are trying to fix a major security problem that’s been brewing for years. Maybe someone in Washington is paying attention after all.

China’s been sneaking its way into everything—our universities, our tech companies, even our government. But for years, Democrats couldn’t seem to figure out what to do about it. It’s not like Biden was going to get tough on them. After all, he’s got his hands full just trying to stay on message for more than 30 seconds. But now, Congress is finally moving forward on this.

A new bill aims to crack down on China’s espionage efforts. It’s about time someone took this threat seriously. But of course, some Democrats are grumbling, probably because anything that smells like tough foreign policy makes them nervous. Let’s see if they actually get behind this for the sake of national security—or if they find a way to drag their feet, as usual.

By a vote of 237-180, the House voted to advance the Protect America’s Innovation and Economic Security from CCP Act. This bill would reinstate a Trump-era initiative that was meant to fight back against foreign espionage from the Chinese Communist Party.

The initiative makes it harder for the CCP to infiltrate global research and industries. It also will help prevent intellectual theft and protect U.S. infrastructure and technology. The bill was introduced by Rep. Lance Gooden (R-TX).

From The Washington Examiner:
“Efforts by the CCP to infiltrate our domestic industries and steal American trade secrets cannot go unaddressed,” Gooden told the Washington Examiner in a statement. “The Chinese Communist Party continues to ramp up efforts to steal and copy U.S. technological advances. My bill will give federal law enforcement the tools they need to effectively combat the CCP and safeguard American industry.”

The bill would revive the China Initiative that was established under former President Donald Trump in November 2018. The program sought to pursue Chinese commercial theft of U.S. technology at a time when the two countries were engaged in tense trade wars and tariff exchanges.

Biden Went Woke In Dismantling This Initiative

Before Biden ended the program, citing racial profiling concerns, 160 individuals and entities were indicted. At least 45 of them have since either been convicted or pleaded guilty.

Clearly, this Trump-era initiative was effective in doing exactly what it was designed to do. Despite this, Biden still went woke and dismantled it.

Sadly, this comes as no surprise. In the minds of Biden and Kamala Harris, absolutely everything is about race. They can’t see that China actually does pose a threat to the U.S. and that the CCP is indeed actively trying to infiltrate our country. Instead, all they see is non-white people. Therefore, any effort to protect U.S. national security against the CCP has to be racially motivated in their eyes.

The bill will now head to the Senate. Since there is a Democrat majority there, it may seem like the bill is doomed. However, it actually has some bipartisan support. Indeed, more than 20 House Democrats voted in favor of it on Wednesday. This makes the future of the bill a bit uncertain.

If the bill manages to pass the Senate, it’s unclear if Biden or Harris would veto it. Even if it does manage to get more support among Democrats, it unfortunately would not be shocking if the racially-obsessed Biden and Harris end up vetoing it.

If they veto this bill, it would not be the first time that Biden and Harris prioritize China over the U.S. If Harris ends up winning this election, it undoubtedly also won’t be the last.

Key Takeaways: 

• House votes to reinstate Trump-era rule targeting Chinese spies.
• Biden dismantled this initiative due to racial profiling concerns.
• It now has some bipartisan support in Congress.
