Rep. Roy and colleagues: The Biden Administration must keep up the Pressure on Beijing

WASHINGTON – On Thursday, Rep. Chip Roy (TX-21) along with Ted Budd (NC-13), and Warren Davidson (OH-8) penned an op-ed in The Federalist both warning of the continued threat China poses to the United States and the dangers of ratcheting back pressure on the communist regime.

The full text of the op-ed is available at the link here; some key quotes are below:

• "We have to keep at the forefront of our minds Xi's true goal — to see China replace the United States as the world's superpower."
  
• "To ratchet back pressure on China would not simply be a tacit acceptance of their human rights abuses and refusal to play by the same trade practices and standards, but a full-throated embracing."
  
• "But make no mistake, if we were to go back to playing nice with the Chinese Communist Party, we would be acquiescing to a tyrant who cares nothing for his people — not to mention the citizens of the United States — who he relies on to consume and fuel his economy."
