"During this unstable time where Chinese hostility against both our nation and our partners in the Western Pacific region has significantly increased, the need for strong national security is as important as ever. Yet, the Biden-Harris Administration's constant displays of foreign policy weakness have diminished our standing on the global stage, emboldened our adversaries, and made the world a much more dangerous place," said Congressman Cole. "This cannot continue. It is imperative that we combat the existential threat of the Chinese Communist Party and restore the strength and dominance of the United States of America. This series of bills does just that."
