Trump Celebrates Anniversary Of China's Communist Rule; GOP Lawmakers Condemn It
President Donald Trump on Tuesday congratulated Chinese President Xi Jinping on 70 years of Communist Party rule while GOP lawmakers marked it as a grim occasion amid ongoing protests for democracy.......
Unlike Trump, his fellow Republicans aren’t celebrating and instead slammed the Chinese government’s abuses of power.
In a joint statement, Reps. Mike Gallagher of Wisconsin and Liz Cheney of Wyoming said it was “an opportunity to remember the victims, past and present, of the Chinese Communist Party.”
“Today the CCP continues to wage a campaign of aggression at home and abroad,” they said, describing the country as “a nightmarish totalitarian dystopia.”
“It is for [Chinese citizens’] future, as well as that of their fellow victims in Xinjiang, in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and beyond, that we rededicate ourselves to ensuring that the Chinese Communist Party is left on the ash heap of history,” they continued.
