.RepMTG voted against a bill seeking to impose sanctions on China over reports of human trafficking for the purposes of organ removal and harvesting. The House passed the measure with a 413-2 vote.
The House passed the measure with a 413-2 vote, with only Greene and Rep. Thomas Massie voting against the legislation. The pair voted against the sanctions because it amounted to U.S. overreach, the lawmakers said, with Massie noting the legislation gave the president too much authority over imposing sanctions."The bill gives the President unilateral broad authority to sanction individuals and politicians without any adjudication or due process," Massie told the Washington Examiner.
"American politicians are elected by American citizens to protect American interests," Greene told the Washington Examiner. "This bill, by promoting 'the establishment of voluntary organ donation systems … in bilateral diplomatic meetings and in international forums,' calls for non-American politicians, not elected by American citizens, to protect non-American interests. This is nothing more than another piece of legislation from the swamp that fails to put America First.
“These crimes against humanity are unimaginable,” Smith said. “Ethnic groups targeted for mass harvesting include Uyghurs—who suffer from Xi Jinping’s ongoing genocide—and the Falun Gong, whose peaceful meditation and exercise practices—and exceptional good health—make their organs highly desirable. The Chinese Communist Party has declared them to be an ‘evil cult’—fit for butchering.”
An identical version of the legislation has been introduced in the Senate, although it’s not clear when it may be brought up for a vote.
