These Chinese are protesting the world's most powerful, dangerous, techno-totalitarian government," Cotton said. "One reason President Biden should speak in his own voice on camera in support of these brave Chinese protesting their communist government is to prevent another Tiananmen Square Massacre. But also by saying if there is another Tiananmen Square Massacre, if the Chinese communists use force against their own people, there would be massive consequences." <blockquote>SEN. TOM COTTON: China unleashed this plague on the world, including its own people. They have had the counterproductive "Zero Covid" policy for a long time and now they have a dilemma. It has been very unpopular and caused many deaths in its own right. But if China were to relax that policy because of their low and poor quality vaccinations, since they refused to use foreign vaccinations, as well as low rates of immunity, they would have a big surge in cases. More fundamentally, though, President Biden shouldn't be treating it as a public health question for China to address, or giving them advice about Covid policy, he should voice American support for these brave Chinese who are in the streets demonstrating against their communist government. Again, this is not just some protest on a college campus in America or a European capital. These Chinese are protesting the world's most powerful, dangerous, techno-totalitarian government. Just like Ronald Reagan stood with the voices of freedom in the Solidarity movement in Poland or told Gorbachev to tear down the Berlin Wall, President Biden should, in his own voice on camera, express his support for these brave Chinese who are standing up against their communist government. DANA PERINO: That's very unlikely to happen. Look at this "New York Post" cover with these blank sheets of paper, people saying they know what they would like to write on it but know they can't because their government will go after them. There is Jianli Yang writing in the "Washington Post," he is a dissident, the son of a Communist Party leader living in the United States, writes: "Don't let China stage another Tiananmen Square Massacre." I would love your take on what the White House should have said instead of, <A href="https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2022/11/28/wh_on_china_protests_the_president_is_not_going_to_speak_for_protesters_around_the_world.html">basically yesterday saying we stand with protestors but we're moving on</a>. TOM COTTON: One reason President Biden should speak in his own voice on camera in support of these brave Chinese protesting their communist government is to prevent another Tiananmen Square Massacre. But also by saying if there is another Tiananmen Square Massacre, if the Chinese communists use force against their own people, there would be massive consequences -- not just sanctions on those responsible in China's government or withholding visas from family members, but concrete actions like withdrawing China's Most Favored Nation status. We should stand with these voices of freedom inside our number one adversary. Joe Biden is saying exactly what he did throughout the Cold War and what Barack Obama did in 2009 about protests in Iran, we don't want to be seen as foreign meddling. Everyone knows we aren't meddling and these are organic protests of the Chinese people, not just about Covid policies but their yearning for freedom. They're dying to hear from America, from the leader of the free world, that we support their deepest aspirations. DANA PERINO: Do you think we're helping behind the scenes at all? TOM COTTON: We're probably not doing enough that we could. Corporate America, for instance, could take steps to help China, to help these Chinese citizens communicate with each other. Apple, which of course, is deeply invested in China, and has deep market penetration on its iPhones, could be enabling certain features that would allow them to communicate with each other so they can organize even larger protests. We should be taking every step possible to help these Chinese [people] voice their deepest aspirations for freedom. It's exactly what Ronald Reagan did in the Cold War. It’s what we should be doing now. And as I write in [my book], it didn’t lead to confrontational war. It led to peace and success and victory. </BLOCKQUOTE>
