WASHINGTON—Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) wants to know why the Peace Corps spends millions of U.S. tax dollars annually in China and sends dozens of volunteers to work on projects that the Beijing government should be paying for with its own resources.
“Peace Corps volunteers are charged with promoting freedom and spreading American ideals to developing countries across the globe,” Scott said in a statement he issued after meeting with Peace Corps Director Jody Olsen on July 11.
