Walz has history with China - it's more hawkish than critics claim

Let's read some of it...

But if anything, Mr Walz has been pretty hawkish towards its government, particularly on human rights.

As a congressman, he met the Dalai Lama and – before his jailing – the high-profile Hong Kong democracy activist, Joshua Wong. Both men would place at the top of the Chinese government’s list of public enemies.

In terms of his congressional record, there is not much for China to like.

He spent over a decade on the Congressional-Executive Commission on China – a body focused on scrutinising the Chinese government’s human rights abuses.

In 2016, the same year he met the Dalai Lama, he also invited the then leader of Tibet's government in exile, Lobsang Sangay, into his congressional office to meet a group of Minnesota high-schoolers.


Mr Walz lent his strong backing to the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act, which imposed sanctions on Chinese and Hong Kong officials for human rights abuses during the city's democracy protests.

Jeffrey Ngo, a democracy activist now based in the US, has praised Mr Walz's commitment to getting the legislation passed in 2019.

"We knocked on every door when the #HKHRDA lacked momentum," he wrote on X after Mr Walz was confirmed as the Harris VP choice. "Only Walz answered his."

Mr Ngo praised Mr Walz as "the sole House Democrat willing to keep co-sponsoring the bill". Republican Chris Smith was the bill's other sponsor.
 
the argument I am making is that this election isn’t about race (your claim that I made) and it isn’t about policy (captainobvious’s post).

It’s about our core beliefs as a democracy and as a country.

are we a country that follows the constitution and no man is above the law?
Do we believe in separation of church and state?
Do we believe in immigration?
Do we believe a fetus is a living thing that supersedes a woman’s heath?

The reason there’s no substantive policy discussion is because we know all the candidates stances on these issues.
are we a country that follows the constitution and no man is above the law?--> Yes
Do we believe in separation of church and state?---> YES
Do we believe in immigration? ---> Yes
Do we believe a fetus is a living thing that supersedes a woman’s heath? ---> That's a 2 part question---> Yes and No
