Chinese Vice Premier Liu He met with a delegation led by US Senator Steve Daines and Senator David Perdue here on Tuesday.

Liu, also a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said Sino-US relations are related to the stability and prosperity of the world…

…Speaking of the great importance of US-China relations, Daines, also co-chair of the US House of Senate US-China Working Group, and Perdue, said they are not willing to see economic and trade conflicts between the two sides, adding that they will continue to play positive roles in deepening mutual understanding and promoting the development of bilateral relations.

Well at least now we know who’s on the take from China.

I hope they have to pay for commercial flight(s) to return.

As far as I’m concerned, they ought to stay in China, where their real allegiance apparently lies.

The clear intent of this provision [Logan Act] is to prohibit unauthorized persons from intervening in disputes between the United States and foreign governments. Nothing in section 953 [Logan Act], however, would appear to restrict members of the Congress from engaging in discussions with foreign officials in pursuance of their legislative duties under the Constitution. In the case of Senators McGovern and Sparkman the executive branch, although it did not in any way encourage the Senators to go to Cuba, was fully informed of the nature and purpose of their visit, and had validated their passports for travel to that country

Did they fully inform of the nature of their visit? Why assume that?

Wikipedia? Really?

Not based on what was said on Dobbs...

Why would Trump send globalists who have been responsible for jobs going to China?

[JohnBrowdie]

in every story about the senators' trip that isn't a scuzzy blog post, it says:

"The White House was in the loop on these meetings, according to sources."

[marktwain]

Fox business news says the White House is "in the loop" on these meetings.

President Trump has not been complaining about them. Could be part of his strategy.

How could you think sending two devout Free Traitors™ to China be helpful? Unless you are Free Traitor™?

[mrsmith]

No.
The media controls what voters hear about their representative (Senator or Rep) and the media belongs to those who pay for it.
China doesn’t control the Senate but, through the media, it controls what voters know about it.

FBN = Koch globalist free trade propaganda machine.

Eh I think he is spot on...

We are in a trade WAR with China. Isn’t this High Treason?

[veracious]

DC is owned by China and other enemies, foreign and domestic.

Globalist Plutocrats - bump for later.....

[mrsmith]

Know what you’re saying.
But the donors would be stymied if the media didn’t support their points (for profits from China).

The US has a “public square”
IMO China’s power over the profits of the media that carries that “poblic square” is the main problem.

[Chode]

revoke their passports and let them stay there
