This bill is so dumb, like why should we care about some random people in China? It's not like they're affecting us here in the US. Plus, who even are these people? This is just a waste of time and resources. Did you know that this bill was introduced by Senator Marco Rubio?

This bill is so dumb, why should we care about some random people in China? It's not our problem, let them deal with it themselves. This is just a waste of time and resources. I don't see how this will benefit anyone in the long run.
