IS PRES. XI FACING DEFECTIONS FROM HOUSE DEMS?
We conventionally think of Congressional Dems as Xi's puppets, and for good reason, but what explains their voting on the right side of history with these two bills?
1) S.1838 - Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019 (became law 11/27/2019)
2) S.1678 - Taiwan Allies International Protection and Enhancement Initiative (TAIPEI) Act of 2019 (became law 3/26/2020)
Has POTUS given assurances to most Congressional Dems that their blackmail tapes will be kept secret and that they'll escape military tribunals so long as they take the USA's side in the building war against China?
I'm frankly surprised more Dems didn't stand with Xi against HK and Taiwan on these votes. I'd have expected them to. Just trying to understand the situation here.
