Rep. Chris Smith looks to ban China from normal trade relations over its human rights abuses
The bill, which was co-sponsored by New York Democrat Rep. Tom Suozzi and Wisconsin Republican Tom Tiffany, would transform the U.S. trade with one of its top business partners. "The Chinese Communist Party has gotten a pass for its gross human rights violations while benefiting tremendously by stealing American jobs and growing into the economic superpower it is today," Smith said in a Tuesday statement to Fox News Digital.
The bipartisan legislation would also require the president to approve whether China has taken steps to "significantly progress" and improve its human rights record and stop its oppressive behavior against all Chinese nationals before it could again receive permanent normal trade relations . Smith repeatedly condemned the International Olympic Committee’s decision to hold the Winter Games in Beijing and argued corporations that refused to pull their support for the games were financing the CCP’s abusive regime.
Smith’s legislation is similar to a bill that overwhelmingly passed the House last week, which called for Russia’s normalized trade ties with the U.S. to be stripped over its deadly invasion of Ukraine.
