As the U.S. Congress works to pass a $2 trillion dollar stimulus package to assist Americans and businesses affected by the current pandemic, a U.S. lawmaker has proposed a bill that would prevent funding from flowing into China.
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) introduced the “No Chinese Handouts in National Assistance Act,” also known as the “No CHINA Act,” on March 24. The bill would prevent any funds—including virus relief refunds—appropriated by Congress in fiscal year 2020 from being distributed to companies owned by the Chinese regime.
