On day seven of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, three U.S. senators introduced legislation that would impose “devastating” financial sanctions against the communist regime in China if it were to try to “follow in Putin’s footsteps” and invade democratic Taiwan.
“As Beijing quietly watches Putin’s invasion of and assault on Ukraine, America must stand strongly behind our partners in democracy and leave no ambiguity as to our resolve to condemn and punish tyrants who attack our partners,” said Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.), one of the lawmakers who introduced the bill, according to a March 2 press release.
