Blackburn Uncovers Biden’s Shocking Sanction Lift on Chinese Communists

The move by the Biden administration to lift sanctions on the Chinese Communist Group (CCG) has been met with some opposition. Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) is speaking out against this move, pointing out that this same group was designated as a terrorist entity by the U.S. Department of Commerce in 2019. “It is incomprehensible that the Biden Administration would choose to do business with an entity that has been sanctioned for years,” Blackburn said in a statement released Tuesday. “CCG is a known terrorist group and has been designated as such – why reward them?” Blackburn also questions why the Department chose to do this while a number of other sanctions remain in place. “These sanctions have had an impact – an impact that the administration should not overlook when considering what types of engagement they want to pursue.” she said. The senator asked the Biden Administration to explain why they selected CCG as a partner, even though many more prominent Chinese companies remain on the sanctions list. The move has caused many to question the Biden Adminstration’s commitment to dealing with the Chinese government and respecting human rights. At this time, the Biden adminstration has not given a response to Senator Blackburn’s statements. However, they have stated that they are committed to a new approach to dealing with the Chinese that involves greater economic and security cooperation. The decision to lift sanctions on the CCG, however, has caused many to question this new strategy. This move has caused some to view the Biden Adminstration’s attitude toward China with suspicion, as they are seemingly going against their own stated agenda. No matter what side of the issue one stands on, it is clear that Senator Blackburn’s questions were valid. The Biden Adminstration should take the time to explain their reasoning on why they chose to lift sanctions on CCG while leaving more prominent Chinese firms on the list. Until then, the American public can only speculate about why this decision was made.
