Congresswoman Ashley Hinson (IA-01) released the following statement on the Countering Communist China Act, a comprehensive legislative package to meaningfully combat the threat from the Chinese Communist Party. Hinson’s Red Tape Reduction Act is included in the bill.
“We have let Communist China rip off the U.S. and get away with bad behavior on the global stage for too long. I’m proud that my legislation, the Red Tape Reduction Act, was included in this comprehensive legislative plan to counter Communist China. The Red Tape Reduction Act will reinstate President Trump’s deregulatory agenda that gave small businesses and rural America the freedom to succeed and helped our economy grow. An unleashed American economy is Communist China’s worst nightmare.” –Congresswoman Ashley Hinson
