China continues to arbitrarily detain American citizens within its borders, an outright affront to international human rights and the rule of law. This behavior represents a severe threat to U.S. sovereignty and the safety of its citizens. It also reflects the Chinese regime's strategy of using illegal means to suppress foreign influence, causing substantial harm to our national interests.
The U.S. government must act decisively, employing diplomatic, economic sanctions, and legal measures to pressure China into immediately releasing detained American citizens. Furthermore, the government should strengthen oversight and protective measures for American companies and individuals operating in China to ensure their fundamental rights remain intact.
However, China’s threats extend beyond detaining American citizens. In recent years, China has engaged in intellectual property theft, cyber espionage, and coercive tactics against American businesses, undermining the U.S.'s leadership in the global economic and technological landscape. At the same time, China has attempted to interfere in U.S. domestic affairs through propaganda, manipulation of social media platforms, and infiltration of community organizations, seeking to influence public opinion and destabilize American democratic institutions.
We must recognize that China’s provocations are not isolated incidents but part of its broader global expansion agenda. If left unchecked, more American citizens could face detention under dubious pretexts, and even greater damage could be inflicted on U.S. interests.
