U.S. House passes China forced labor bill near unanimously

[matheuss92]

Who voted no?

I could not find it. Is any politician openly lobbying for China?

 

[matheuss92]

Yes but the Senate now has to take it up or it’s just for show. The Senate has a lot on its plate. They’ll get to this China thing after the election.

Do you really think so? This might be great propaganda for the GOP, a hard stance on china. I actually thought it would be faster than the house, where it took some weeks

2 Republicans and an Independent

Independent is Amash but I'm not scrolling through all 400 votes to find the GOPers.

You didn't have to scroll...You could have just changed it from "all votes" to "Nay" and gotten the results.

Young from Alaska is the last one to not vote....wasn't gonna screenshot just for 1 person.

Yeah... I just saw. I really cant understand. I thought the voters would be pleased with any ban on chinese good

It's a Democrat bill so some of them have to oppose on principle.

 

[tonni]

Only now they’re restricting this.

So mostly republicans? Big surprise.

Well, at least that might initiate a movement of other countries doing the same. Europe should be looking for something like this, instead of a trade agreement with the ccp

Has ABC news, owned by Disney, commented yet?

 

[Ophydian]

I want you Republicans to know something about Democrats. They don’t love China either. Some don’t believe the virus is man-made and some don’t believe it escaped a lab. Democrats follow facts which none have been provided yet to show either being true.

As for Trump trade war with China and everyone else except for our allies Saudi Arabia, Israel and UAE. It’s more of a “I told you so.” thing. Like Mexico paying for the wall.

Actually, the first source I found about it was chinese. I later looked for a more credible US source, but I didnt look any further.

CCP are the scum of the earth. Anyone who disagrees is either not paying attention or, more likely, on their payroll.

 

[kiley_sean]

I’m sorry, but I just don’t get why some congressmen are not present to vote. Your asses don’t vote on bills much, you’re in the House for a 2-year stint. What the fuck are you doing? If you’re not tending to a family emergency or sick, your ass needs to be in that seat.

Our Reps are... disappointing.

To say the least.

But, then again, large swathes of the Commonwealth is likened to Kentucky. Often called Pennsyltucky.

Seems like only Republicans disagree that forced labor is a bad thing. Weird.

Anyone who voted against this bill is a piece of shit. Whatever party they belong to.
