The Chinese Communist Party is invading America and Democrats are welcoming them in with open arms.
We see it every day now. From buying up American farmland to the Chinese spy balloon – which we now have confirmed without a shadow of a doubt was spying on our sensitive military sites – China is attempting every angle to invade our nation and that includes stealing Americans’ data.
The most recent blatant effort has been through TikTok, an app that has clear ties to the CCP.
Just a couple weeks ago at a congressional hearing, TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew sat before our Congress and attempted to convince Americans that TikTok was not controlled by the CCP. But even after a heavily funded PR campaign, we were not convinced, because the facts speak for themselves.
TikTok’s parent company ByteDance is headquartered in Beijing and boasts a close relationship with the CCP. In fact, Zhang Fuping, ByteDance’s editor in chief, is a Chinese Community Party secretary.
Plain and simple: TikTok is a spy tool for the Chinese Communist Party, and we must work to ban it in America.
The CCP has used a spy balloon and TikTok to surveil some of our most sensitive military sites and now they set their sights on more sensitive information: targeting Americans’ credit cards.
But it gets worse. They’re doing it with Democrats’ help.
Liberal Senator Dick Durbin is leading the charge to hand over OUR data. His legislation would require credit card companies to partner with at least two unaffiliated network providers.
The world’s largest credit card company just so happens to be China Union Pay which, of course, also has deep ties to the Chinese Communist Party.
Durbin’s legislation forces partnerships with companies like China Union Pay who simply function as spy tools for the CCP to continue their fight to take all Americans’ data. On top of this overt and shocking breach of Americans’ data, this bill is also plain bad for American small businesses.
Not that Senator Durbin cares. He and all his woke liberal squad in Washington are happy to aid the CCP if it means their own political success.
I am comforted to know that our great state has two strong conservative fighters in Washington. Both Senator Blackburn and Senator Hagerty understand that Communist China is America’s greatest foreign threat. I am grateful for their dedicated efforts to ban CCP’s TikTok once and for all, and I urge them to stand up against Dick Durbin’s dangerous legislation.
As China continues to find ways to invade America, we must put our national security first and that includes everything from preventing the CCP’s spying efforts to protecting our personal financial data.
We must stand up for our nation and our national security and stop China one and for all. I hope that both Senator Hagerty and Senator Blackburn will defend Americans and put Tennessee first and protect our credit cards from those who wish America ill.
