It was approved in a 21-to-one vote during a Wednesday session of the Senate Foreign Policy Committee and has headed to the Senate floor for chamber-wide consideration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe bill seriously distorts the facts, confuses right and wrong, plays up the \u2018China threat theory,\u2019 advocates the U.S. to carry out comprehensive strategic competition with China and grossly interferes in China\u2019s internal affairs,\u201d Wang Wenbin, spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, claimed. \u201cIt is fraught with outdated Cold War mentality and zero-sum thinking and reflects the hegemonic mentality and self-supremacy of the U.S. that does not allow normal development of other countries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 280-page bill, authored jointly by the top Democrat and Republican in the Committee \u2014 Senators Bob Menendez and Jim Risch respectively \u2014 covers a wide range of issues related to the U.S. response to China. These issues include increased spending on strategic military projects, calling for a boycott of the 2022 Beijing Olympics by U.S. officials, and punishing China\u2019s mistreatment of ethnic and religious minorities through increased sanctions.<\/p>\n<p>China has claimed the bill is fraught with falsehoods, particularly concerning its treatment of ethnic Uyghurs in Xinjiang province, where Beijing has carried out a systematic campaign of ethnic cleansing that led to the U.S. State Department \u2014 then-headed by former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo \u2014 to officially accuse the country of genocide in January of 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Yet even as CCP officials were accusing U.S. lawmakers of spreading misinformation about the regime\u2019s activities, \u201cCTGN,\u201d a channel under direct control by the Chinese Communist Party, was busy blaming Uyghurs for their own mistreatment by suggesting repression was appropriate due to the ethnic group \u201clacking the mental sophistication\u201d to accept communist rule.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAt that time, the people of Xinjiang were not immunized against such ideological infiltration, so they did not have the ability to resist it, nor were they mentally prepared for it,\u201d Kamalet Law Firm Attorney Mijit Litip stated. \u201cThe kind of blind worship of whatever was foreign, coupled with a lack of sophistication, made them very susceptible to such extremist thoughts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, representatives of China\u2019s communist regime were intent on flipping the script on America by claiming it is not China, but rather the U.S. that has been the source of global conflict.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis kind of twisted and narrow mindset doesn\u2019t fit the mold of a great global power,\u201d the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson said. \u201cI will reiterate that China is willing to form a relationship with the U.S. without confrontation or conflict, with mutual respect and win-win cooperation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The attempt by Chinese authorities to paint themselves as open to international cooperation, contrasted against their portrayal of the U.S. as an unjustifiable aggressor, however, is belied by Beijing\u2019s own state media.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, another communist party-controlled outlet, the \u201cGlobal Times,\u201d actually celebrated U.S. opposition in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globaltimes.cn\/page\/202104\/1221842.shtml\">its coverage of the bill<\/a>. They argued the fact America condemns Beijing\u2019s actions \u201cjust proves that China is developing on the right path.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Flag of the Chinese Communist Party (WANG ZHAO\/AFP via Getty Images) OAN NewsroomUPDATED 1:45 PM PT \u2013 Thursday, April 22, 2021 China has lashed out at a bipartisan effort in &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2276500,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-442964","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/442964","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=442964"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/442964\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2276500"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=442964"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=442964"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=442964"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
