Ted Cruz (R-TX) released a statement condemning the Chinese Communist Party\u2019s COVID policies \u2014 and the White House\u2019s weak response.<\/p>\n<p>The Texas lawmaker, a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, issued a statement Monday after reports of the Biden administration\u2019s tepid words regarding the unrest in China over its strict lockdown policies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Chinese Communist Party has since the beginning been desperate to cover up the origins, nature, and consequences of COVID-19. They lied and continue to lie to the world, and as a result millions of lives were lost and immense suffering was caused,\u201d Cruz <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cruz.senate.gov\/newsroom\/press-releases\/sen-cruz-issues-statement-on-ccp-crackdown\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe people of China are not to blame for the CCP\u2019s actions. In fact, many of them were already protesting the CCP\u2019s handling of the pandemic, and now those protests have escalated into open criticism of the regime. They are bravely standing up for their rights,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>The senator went on to lash out at the Biden administration over its failure to show strong support for the protesters speaking out against the oppressive CCP. The Daily Wire previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/white-house-releases-tepid-statement-on-protests-in-china\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a> that the White House released a statement on Monday that focused on the difficulty of a \u201czero COVID\u201d approach rather than offering support to back the freedoms of the Chinese people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Biden administration\u2019s response has been worse than expected. The CCP should know that one way or another, in the coming months or in the coming years, the United States will hold accountable each and every CCP official responsible for atrocities against these protesters.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), another Republican member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, also released a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rubio.senate.gov\/public\/index.cfm?p=Press-Releases&#038;id=8F83E260-9D38-4BEE-AF33-2325C1CDADAE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement<\/a> with Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ) on Monday to address China\u2019s actions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe CCP\u2019s \u2018zero-Covid\u2019 policy is outrageous. In addition, the CCP restricts all human rights and freedoms in Xinjiang, Hong Kong, and across China. It has robbed the Chinese people of their human dignity,\u201d Rubio and Smith wrote.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Biden Administration\u2019s weak rejection of the CCP\u2019s zero-Covid policy and refusal to call out General Secretary Xi\u2019s totalitarian grip is nothing short of cowardly. Just weeks after shaking hands with Xi in Bali, President Biden and his administration have once again demonstrated that they are unwilling to stand up to the CCP and stand in solidarity with the Chinese people,\u201d they added.<\/p>\n<p>Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chair Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) and other Democrats on the committee have remained relatively silent regarding the recent Chinese protests.<\/p>\n<p>None of the Democrats on the committee have released a statement regarding China\u2019s lockdown abuses since a high-rise fire last Thursday that killed 10 Chinese residents that many have blamed on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/protesters-call-for-xi-jinping-to-step-down-over-chinas-extreme-covid-lockdowns\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">COVID restrictions<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
