Pelosi Stonewalls Bill That Would Crack Down on Chinese Influence in U.S.

House Dems block bill to crack down on regime-sponsored Confucius Institutes
   
Yuichiro Kakutani - SEPTEMBER 20, 2020 5:00 AM

House Democrats are blocking a bill that will curtail the influence of the Chinese-government-funded Confucius Institute, stymying bipartisan legislation that unanimously passed in the Senate.

Despite bipartisan support in the upper chamber, House Democrats—including a cosponsor for the bill—voted against placing the CONFUCIUS Act on the agenda in late July, and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) has yet to announce plans to place the bill on the floor. If passed, the legislation would require all federally funded universities with Confucius Institutes to assume "full managerial control" of the institutes, a move that would limit the Chinese government's influence over the program.

Frustrated by the lack of action, congressional Republicans are blaming Pelosi for blocking debate for the bill, criticizing the House speaker for putting politics over national security.

"I regret that Speaker Pelosi has still not scheduled the CONFUCIUS Act for a vote," said Rules Committee Ranking Member Tom Cole, who introduced the July vote. "This isn’t about politics. It’s about holding China accountable, and Speaker Pelosi clearly hasn’t made that a priority."

Of course she does. Her husband's law firm represents the Chinese Government in the US.

How the HELL that is not a conflict of interest that keeps her from being the Speaker of the House is a freaking mystery to me.

Notice how none of the other political creatures can seem to find the time to mention this?

The constant reference to Russia collusion is rat sleight of hand. The Chicoms continued existence, at least with their current level of authority, could be predicated on the outcome of this election.

To assume they aren't right now engaged in collusion with the rats is downright irrational.

Not to worry, Trumpster will enact a EO that will do it instead.

@sneakypete, Paul Pelosi Sr., Nancy's husband, is not a lawyer and does not own a law firm. IIRC, Paul Pelosi Jr. is in the energy business, focusing on "green" (= unreliable, wink777 ) energy.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

That's not what I read when I researched the Chinese purchase of the Long Beach Shipyard for Norinco.

I do admit that what I read may have been wrong,though.

I guess I need to try to remember to do some more research on that later today.

Thanks for the notification.

@Smokin Joe

PROBABLY the purchase of the old Long Beach Naval Yard. I know that was mentioned when I was told his law firm represented the Chinese government in the US.

It seems likely that is where the mix-up was from when I was told he had a law firm that represented China. He PROBABLY just had something to do with the sale.

I know I read about both in the same post that I read about him.

Kinda makes a guy wonder what his commission would be on such a deal, now doesn't it?

@Smokin Joe

IF he handled the sale,I suspect his commission was several years salary for almost all of us.

Having a wife in a position to grease the wheels to make it happen and get the permits didn't hurt,either.

If you are referring to the Long Beach Naval Shipyard, that was going to be a 10 year lease to COSCO, A Chinese firm. a contract was signed but cancelled. The LBNS was leased instead to Hanjin, a SoKo firm. https://wikimili.com/en/Long_Beach_Naval_Shipyard

Thanks for clearing that up. The article I read about the BATF raid on the Norinco warehouses there led me to believe that Norinco were the ones that bought the LB Naval Shipyard. After all,Norinco is owned by the Chinese government,and they damn sure have enough money to buy anything they want that is for sale.

Nasty Nancy's husband is not a lawyer.

Dianne Feinstein's husband is not a lawyer.

Kamala Harris' husband IS a lawyer, and his main client IS China.

I was making the point that
you were right about there being a prominent Democrat
whose husband is a lawyer working for China.
You just identified the wrong one.

There are probably THOUSANDS more such connections
of China buying off Swamp creatures (both D and R)
that we don't know about.
