China Tries (and Fails) to Get Wisconsin to Pass Law Praising Beijing on Coronavirus

Radio Free Asia (RFA) reported on Thursday that the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) outrageous effort to pressure the legislature of Wisconsin to pass a resolution praising Beijing for its handling of the coronavirus effort “backfired spectacularly,” leading to a motion that will condemn the CCP for lying to the world if it passes.

The Chinese consulate sent emails in February and March to Wisconsin Senate President Roger Roth, a Republican, urging him to pass a resolution praising China. The emails even contained the text of a resolution written by the CCP for the Wisconsin legislature to rubber stamp, praising the Chinese government for being “transparent and quick in sharing key information of the virus with the WHO and the international community” – the exact opposite of what actually happened.

“The awkward truth is, this request almost certainly didn’t only go to Wisconsin,” he said. “The Chinese embassy felt completely comfortable doing this because it often works. Even when it doesn’t, people rarely go public, so there’s no downside to trying.” 

 

Quote

If passed, the resolution would see the Wisconsin Senate affirming that the CCP has “deliberately and intentionally misled the world, suppressed vital information on the statistics and spread of the Wuhan Coronavirus both domestically and abroad, allowed millions of individuals to travel outside of the province and country despite clear warnings that the virus could be transmitted person-to-person, and engaged in active suppression and persecution of individuals looking to truthfully discuss information related to the Coronavirus, which has led to a global pandemic the likes of which has not been seen for generations.”

So far the Wisconsin story appears to have elicited very little response from those who previously claimed foreign intervention in American politics was the worst crime imaginable

How humiliating this must be if foreign agents are literally handing (giving) American politicians pre-written legislation for them to simply drop off, as if China runs the country. Legislation praising the country that lied to the world and pushed/solicited behaviors in western countries that was highly conducive to the virus' spread. 

 

This would not be tolerated in the reverse, people would hang. Americans who love their country had better wake up.

If I were a politician and one of those clowns tried that, I'd promptly tell them where to stuff it, and probably help them out.

But you are not afflicted by severe TDS.  The Chinese were/are hoping to get someone with the mentality of a Democrat where they are polarized against Trump.

You know the answer  

Why he was so eager to praise the communist government response back then? On behalf of all American people.

He was in the middle of wrapping up a trade deal, and of course the number of infections and deaths in the US back on January 24th were still extremely low.  Heck, on Feb. 15th, there were only 12 identified infections and zero deaths, in all of the US if you believe the Worldometers numbers.

Because no one had any idea how bad this would be (except perhaps China, if indeed it is true how much they lied about their death toll).  Even in late February, I never believe it would get this bad, and I was wrong.

But he's the President, I hear they're omniscient, not to mention rule with an iron fist over governors and mayors. 

 

Naturally, an impossible standard set for the big bad orange man.
