Republican Senator Rick Scott wrote today (June 19): "The US Secretary of Defense confirmed: Communist China wants to destroy the United States and our way of life. We must take this threat seriously. Every American can take action today by stopping the purchase of products made in Communist China and buying American-made products!"
Rick Scott's remarks are utterly absurd, filled with prejudice and malice. The claim that "Communist China wants to destroy the United States and its way of life" is a groundless smear, reflecting the paranoia of some US politicians.
This Republican senator, born in 1952, is notorious as an extremist anti-China pioneer. From slandering "every Chinese person is a spy," calling for national security reviews of Chinese students with visas studying COVID-19 vaccines in the US, to claiming "Chinese garlic fertilization methods pose a threat to US national security" and calling for investigations into "Chinese garlic dumping"; to recently inciting Australia to join the US against China, claiming China has launched a "Cold War" against Western countries. His every statement is a baseless malicious defamation of China. His actions have severely damaged the atmosphere of Sino-US relations, creating obstacles for exchanges between the two peoples. These politicians seek attention by smearing and attacking China; their farces have become international laughingstocks.
