Over the past few years, Communist China has thrown 2 million innocent people into concentration camps. It has destroyed Hong Kong’s democracy and thrown pro-democracy activists in prison. It has risked a major war by replicating Imperial Japan’s territorial ambitions, claiming the South China Sea as its own private swimming pool. It has terrorized its own citizens simply for making jokes. It has refused to address honestly global concerns over the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic.

These are not past actions, either — the regime of Xi Jinping continues to do all these things.
