Hawley Introduces Bill to Reduce American Dependence on Chinese Technology

Sen. Josh Hawley (R., Mo.) introduced a bill Wednesday aimed at reducing Chinese control over technology used by the Department of Defense and its contractors.

Another racist, asian hating Bill.

Probably hurts the Climate and minority children too, somehow.

Our guys need to pump the brakes a little. They know these bills are going no where. They need to build dirt on their opponents like they do to us!

Republicans introduce good bills when dems are the majority.

Republicans do nothing when repubs are the majority.
