WASHINGTON, D.C. – In case you missed it, Senator Rick Scott wrote a letter to the editor of the New York Times in response to a recent op-ed by a former vice foreign minister of China encouraging the United States and China to cooperate as allies on the world stage. 

In the letter, Senator Rick Scott wrote,“…The Chinese Communist Party is committing a genocide. The United States is the world’s best and loudest advocate for human rights, and our founding principles have shaped the world’s understanding of liberty and democracy.

We can no longer pretend that Communist China is an ally with good intentions, merely a partner with customs and a political system that we don’t fully understand. Communist China is a totalitarian regime bent on world domination, and as long as its officials refuse to tell the truth or respect human rights, they will be treated as such.”
