Florida Senator Marco Rubio (R) stopped by Fox & Friends to discuss the latest developments on the protests in China over the Chinese Communist Party’s repressive “zero COVID” policy; he says it should be a “wake-up call to the world.”
“If they do that to their own people, what will they do to you?” Rubio said. “I think these things are going to continue, and the reaction of the Chinese government should be a wake-up call to the world.”
“What we’re learning is that the people of China are human beings,” Rubio said. “Human beings don’t like to be locked up. They don’t like to be told they can’t go out, they can’t go to work, they can’t socialize, they can’t go see family members, they can’t go to entertainment and have fun, for long periods of time by their government.
“In every country in the world where that’s been tried, people have rebelled, even in a totalitarian state like China.”
Fellow Florida Senator Rick Scott agrees with Rubio, saying China is America’s top threat.
“Communist China is our nation’s top threat, so why isn’t the admin acting like it? The Biden admin MUST completely and unashamedly admonish China’s mistreatment of its citizens and stand with those demanding freedom.”
