TIANANMEN SQUARE MEMORIAL BOULEVARD RENAMING
(Mr. OGLES asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. OGLES. Last week marked 34 years since the Tiananmen Square
massacre. Up to 10,000 people were killed by their own government. They
were run over by tanks and shot in the streets--all for demanding
freedom.
The grotesque actions of the Chinese military have been remembered
throughout history. Today, China continues to target, abuse, detain,
and remove opposition.
It is important for the United States to make a statement condemning
the evil regime, the CCP. That is why I am introducing legislation that
would rename the road outside the Chinese Embassy to the Tiananmen
Square memorial boulevard.
America needs to take a strong stand against the human rights
violations of the Chinese Communist Party.
Let us not forget the Americans who have died because of the CCP
virus, the Americans and children who have died because of fentanyl
flooding our streets because of the CCP, the incursion of the balloon
in our airspace, and the recent advances toward a naval destroyer and
our military.
Mr. Speaker, it is time we stand and say no to the CCP.
