    This bill authorizes activities to counter the malign influence of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and China’s government.

    For the purposes of this bill, malign influence includes acts to (1) advance an alternative and repressive international order that bolsters the CCP and China’s hegemonic ambitions; or (2) undermine the national security, economic security, or sovereignty of the United States or other countries.

    So it says it was passed to counter act Chinese propaganda.

      Yeeeeep. I’m sure that’s what it’s being used for. You’re not familiar with the US history of meddling with elections and going to war in the name of capitalism? Vietnam ring a bell? Congo? Venezuela? Korea? I’m not sure why anyone would believe anything coming out of this country. Well, truthfully most don’t. Just the ignorant citizens.

        Im well aware

        Are you aware Donald Trump is a Russian asset?

        Are you aware China and Russia are allies focused on removing the US so they can control the world instead?

          The enemy of my enemy. The best thing for the world would be the US falling. Donald Trump is a goon. He’s merely a puppet for the Heritage Foundation.

            Meanwhile sane people don’t want a boot on the neck of humanity.

            It doesn’t matter what fascist dictatorship controls the boot, the existence of the boot is the problem.

              A government consisting of the people is a boot on the neck how? We’re certainly not represented in this “democracy.”

              China not being Russia’s enemy is somehow worse than the US supporting Israel? Last I heard China wasn’t supplying weapons in the proxy war.

              The last war China was even part of was back in the late 70’s. The US has been part of like 10 wars in the open, and countless covert ops since then. I think it’s time the libturds opened their eyes and turned off the billionaire-owned media. The China-bad bullshit is gross and often racist.

                So when does “the people” in China get to elect a new dictator?

                Also China supplying proxy wars does count them being at war.

                  Supplying what? Weapons were off limits. The US can’t say the same.

                  I believe the next election is in 3 years. It’s a large government. There’s no dictator. With a very high approval rating, per US sources.

                    You don’t seem to understand Xi isn’t going to ever leave office…

                    I can’t have a conversation with you if you can’t live in reality
