       SUPPORTING THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S DEALINGS WITH CHINA

  (Mr. WATKINS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WATKINS. Madam Speaker, today I rise in support of President 
Trump and fellow Kansan, Secretary Mike Pompeo, in their dealings with 
China. This includes closing the consulate in Houston.
  The CCP has for decades been using meticulous multidimensional 
strategies to degrade and undermine American hegemony and democracies 
around the world.
  Chairman Ghee has accelerated these efforts. That is clearly apparent 
in the CCP's dealings with COVID-19, their mass detention of more than 
a million Uighurs, and their violation of Hong Kong's sovereignty.
  Every action that China takes affects the global economy and security 
and, more importantly, the lives of Americans.
  China's repeated aggression and nefarious actions have proven China 
cannot be trusted.
  Thankfully, we now have an American President and a Secretary of 
State who won't be treating China with kid gloves and a President 
unlike any other in history who will be tough on China.
