Republican Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas blasted the Biden administration Thursday for its failure to hold China “accountable” during an appearance on “Mornings With Maria.”
“The Democrats’ reckless tax and spending package last year was designed to try to get America producing the minerals we need and the technology we need for such things as batteries for cars or other critical rare earth elements and related technologies,” Cotton told Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo.
“It wasn’t designed to allow American companies like Ford to simply do it, go into joint ventures with Chinese companies here in America and take advantage of it,” Cotton continued. “That’s a failure of the Biden administration.”
WATCH:
The Biden administration is considering easing restrictions on American investments in the People’s Republic of China via executive order by requiring notifications to the federal government as opposed to blocking the investments, according to Politico. Republican presidential candidates former President Donald Trump and businessman Vivek Ramaswamy have called for tougher action against China on trade.
Trump called for revoking China’s most-favored nation status and for phasing out “essential” imports from China in multiple industries. Ramaswamy has called for America to “Declare Independence from Communist China” on multiple occasions.

“There’s a vast network of what I call the China lobby, and many of them aren’t even intentionally shilling for the Chinese Communists, but their economic interests are so deeply entwined that they are very sensitive to any political steps to hold Chinese communists accountable,” Cotton added.
Cotton’s comments come as Democrats accused Republican Rep. Lance Gooden of Texas of being racist for raising concerns about Dominic Ng and Democratic Rep. Judy Chu of California having reported ties to a Chinese Communist Party front group. Chu has denied the reports, despite documents and photos contradicting them.
“We have to expose the China — China lobby and stop it,” Cotton said.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Long the world’s most Christian nation, America today is being taken over by a new “official” national religion, one being imposed on the entire populace by every major societal institution, from government, media and big tech, to academia, entertainment and business.
This new state religion is Wokeism. “Going woke” conjures up visions of someone claiming to be acutely sensitive (“awake”) to “systemic social and political injustice.” And not just alleged bigotry against blacks, but toward every other “minority” as well, from LGBT folk – especially everything transgender and “nonbinary” – to “undocumented immigrants.” All of them, being VICTIMS, intrinsically more virtuous than the shameful oppressor class: primarily heterosexual white males.
This new “woke” consciousness has turned America upside-down – from the nationwide Antifa and Black Lives Matter riots in 2020, to tearing down of historic monuments, to demanding multi-million-dollar reparation payments for blacks, to appointing transgenders as top government officials, to rampant reverse discrimination in every area of life, to the U.S. military imposing mandatory “diversity training” and transgender pronoun use on all personnel, causing recruitment to disastrously plummet.
Yet there is hope. Being “saved” – which in Wokeism is called being “woke” – is largely a matter of worshipping victimhood by becoming an “ally” and “defender” of all the many victim classes, and a determined enemy of the straight white male oppressor class. Thus, “joining the righteous” as an ally – even if one is cursed to be a straight white male – opens the door mercifully for salvation, even to the most wretched.
That is the power of the religion of Wokeism. And it’s explored as never before in the February 2023 issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine. If you’ve ever wondered, for example, exactly how the most radical elements in American society are successfully pressuring the biggest corporations into adopting the most outrageous and immoral policies imaginable, even when doing so permanently damages and devalues the company, the stunning answers are in this issue of Whistleblower, titled “WOKEISM: AMERICA’S OFFICIAL STATE RELIGION.”
