In fact, the US&#8217;s $382,917,000,000 trade deficit with Communist China was greater than the $372,200,000,000 combined deficit with Canada ($81,000,000,000,000), Mexico ($130,600,000,000), Vietnam (116,100,000,000), and South Korea ($43.900,000,000).<\/p>\n<p>The US&#8217;s $382,917,000,000 trade deficit with China in 2022 was larger than those with China in 2021 ($376,309s070,000) or 2020 ($351,109s440,00), even after these deficits were adjusted for inflation (as they currently are) and into December 2022 dollars. <\/p>\n<p>This is not free trading. It is the subsidization of communist regimes engaged in genocide.<\/p>\n<p>The State Department was unambiguous in stating that the Chinese Communist Party is controlling the Chinese government. The department&#8217;s most recent report on China&#8217;s human right situation states that the first sentence is: &#8220;The People&#8217;s Republic of China is an authoritarian state in which the Chinese Communist Party is the paramount authority.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This column mentioned last week that Mike Pompeo (then Secretary of State) declared in January 2021, that the communist regime is engaged in genocide.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I have determined that the PRC, under the direction and control of the CCP, has committed genocide against the predominantly Muslim Uyghurs and other ethnic and religious minority groups in Xinjiang,&#8221; Pompeo. &#8220;I believe this genocide is ongoing, and that we are witnessing the systematic attempt to destroy Uyghurs by the Chinese party-state.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Last week, this column noted that Antony Blinken, the current secretary-of-state, said during his 2021 confirmation hearing, that he was in agreement with Pompeo about the PRC&#8217;s genocide. This point has been reiterated by Blinken since then. Blinken said just two weeks ago that the PRC was &#8220;perpetrating ongoing genocide.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This past November, I named a dozen nations as &#8216;Countries of Particular Concern&#8217; because of their egregious violations of religious freedom, from Russian authorities raiding and brutally beating Jehovah&#8217;s Witnesses to the People&#8217;s Republic of China perpetrating an ongoing genocide against predominantly Muslim Uyghurs,&#8221; Blinken spoke in a recorded address to the International Religious Freedom Summit.<\/p>\n<p>So what can Congress do about the communist, genocidal regime that has been our main source of imports.<\/p>\n<p>These imports should be stopped.<\/p>\n<p>Congress should pass legislation to gradually impose a prohibitive tariff for all goods made in the People&#8217;s Republic of China. If China ceases genocide and creates a government that respects God-given rights, the prohibitive tariff on China&#8217;s goods can be lifted. Then trade between the United States and China can resume.<\/p>\n<p>CNSnews.com&#8217;s editor-in-chief is Terence P. Jeffrey.
