Sept. 25, 2020, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning today issued the following statement in support of H.R. 8331, the “Accountability for CARES Act of 2020” by U.S. Rep. Bill Posey (R-Fla.) that would block CARES Act funds from going to Chinese companies:
“Congressman Posey is holding Communist China accountable for its abhorrent human rights record, concentration camps, forced slave and child labor, organ harvesting, crushing Hong Kong and threatening Taiwan with legislation that blocks any pandemic-related economic assistance in the CARES Act to be given to any business with ties to China. Without such taxpayer protections, hundreds of millions of dollars are potentially flowing to businesses either controlled, operated or owned by the Chinese Communist Party.
“We applaud and thank U.S. Reps. Posey, Gaetz, Spano, Weber and Cloud, whose legislation protects national security, holds China to account and blocks U.S. tax dollars from funding slavery and concentration camps in one of the most tyrannical regimes in human history. Every member of Congress should support this common-sense provision, and leadership of both parties should ensure that it is included in any phase four legislation.”
