Responding to China

 

Ten days ago, an unarmed U.S. naval ship manned by a civilian crew avoided a grave escalation between China and the United States caused by dangerous and provocative action taken by Chinese ships. National Intelligence Director Dennis Blair described the incident between the USNS Impeccable and five Chinese ships as the most serious military interaction between China and the U.S. since 2001.

Since then, the China has rejected U.S. protests from the State Department and the Department of Defense, and stated that the American ship "broke international and Chinese laws in the South China Sea without China's permission” even though the international law as it relates to these boundaries are clear and the U.S. ship was in no way in violation of international law.

On Wednesday, the House of Representatives passed a resolution calling on the China to cease its repression of the Tibetan people. Congressman Forbes believes that those individuals serving our country in international water deserve a voice from Congress just as much as Tibetans.

In response, Congressman Forbes introduced a resolution, H. Con. Res. 72, condemning any action of China that could unnecessarily escalate tensions between the two countries, including the actions taken earlier this week against the USNS Impeccable.
