‘Communism Is Cancer’: Senator Says Americans Must ‘Fight Hard’ Against Communist China’s Influence

The Epoch Times Header

Communist China is reshaping the world according to its own agenda. And Americans need to act if they don’t want their cherished freedoms taken away, Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) told a panel event in Washington on Feb. 10.

“We cannot allow Xi’s influence to spread, because communism is a cancer,” he said, referring to Chinese leader Xi Jinping. “We know what it’s done in Cuba. We know what it did in Soviet Russia. We see it at work in Venezuela, and now we have people in America saying socialism is good—we cannot let this spread.”

“It will kill us, just like it killed one hundred million people in the 20th century.”

At the forum at America First Policy Institute, a think tank led by some senior Trump administration officials, the senator made clear that he saw China under the Chinese Communist Party as the greatest threat to world order and Americans’ livelihoods, an idea that is receiving growing consensus in Washington.

For Scott, the “tainted” Winter Olympics in Beijing is the latest reminder about the direction the communist regime is heading.

The ceremony that opened the Beijing Games on Feb. 4 featured a smiling Uyghur athlete as a final Olympic torchbearer in a purported show of “ethnic unity,” again putting China’s human rights abuses in the global spotlight.

“It was a perfect example of the kind of propaganda Communist China is known for—they want to whitewash their crimes,” said Scott.

He went on to enumerate a list of Beijing’s transgressions at home and abroad, including its coverup of the pandemic; suppression of Xinjiang, Tibet, Hong Kong freedoms; its harassment of Taiwan; forcible harvesting of organs from Falun Gong practitioners; trade violations; and militarization in disputed waters. These acts demonstrate that the Chinese leader “doesn’t want to merely compete on the global stage—he wants to set the terms of debate and isolate the U.S. and our allies,” he said.

“You look at what they’re doing and you can’t help but come to these two conclusions: Communist China has chosen to be our enemy … and we have entered into a new Cold War.”
