Cotton, Hawley, Curtis, Gallagher Introduce Li Wenliang Global Public Health Accountability Act
Washington, D.C. – Senators Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) and Josh Hawley (R-Missouri), along with Representatives John Curtis (R-Utah), Mike Gallagher (R-Wisconsin), Ted Yoho (R-Florida), Jim Banks (R-IN), and Liz Cheney (R-WY) will introduce the Li Wenliang Global Public Health Accountability Act, legislation that would authorize the president to sanction foreign officials who suppress or distort information about international public health crises, including the Wuhan coronavirus. Bill text may be found here.
“Dr. Li tried to warn his country and the world about the Wuhan coronavirus, but he was silenced by the Chinese Communist Party. By hiding the truth about the virus, the CCP turned a regional health problem into a global catastrophe. In honor of Dr. Li, our bill seeks to punish foreign officials responsible for suppressing information about international health crises, including the Wuhan virus,” said Cotton.
“The Chinese Communist Party must be held accountable for misleading the world about the scope and danger of the coronavirus. Dr. Li Wenliang bravely tried to warn his country and the world about the spread and seriousness of this virus. We should honor his legacy and do our part to hold the CCP accountable for this pandemic,” said Hawley.
“As Dr. Li Wenliang said, ‘A Healthy Society Shouldn’t Only Have One Voice.’ By suppressing critical public health information, officials in China, Russia, Iran, Venezuela, and elsewhere have demonstrated they care more about maintaining their grip on power than the health and wellbeing of their people. The Li Wenliang Global Public Health Accountability Act—named after the heroic Chinese doctor whistleblower—will ensure that dictators and their cronies think twice before once allowing a local health crisis spiral out of control into a pandemic that endangers the globe,” said Curtis.
“Had the Chinese Communist Party listened to — rather than suppressed — Dr. Li and his repeated warnings about the coronavirus, we could have prevented this global pandemic and saved lives. Instead, Chinese officials deliberately lied and misled the world about the severity of this virus in an effort to protect their reckless regime. It’s time we hold these apparatchiks accountable for the damage they’ve done to the world,” said Gallagher.
Background: The Li Wenliang Global Public Health Accountability Act is sanctions legislation modeled after the Global Magnitsky Human Rights Accountability Act.
It would authorize the president to sanction foreign officials who suppress or distort information about international public health crises, including the Wuhan coronavirus.
These sanctions include inadmissibility to the United States, revocation of existing U.S. visas, and the blocking of all property within the United States. This legislation would provide Congress with the authority to request that the president review specific foreign officials for sanctions eligibility. Within 120 days of receiving such a request, the president must report to Congress on whether he/she intends to impose sanctions.
Earlier this year, Senator Cotton introduced a resolution honoring Dr. Li’s bravery and sacrifice. The resolution passed on March 3

在prospect park 你看视频 视频拍摄人也说了。 后来那个park 入口一出来我就看出来了。
医护可以在电视上联合呼吁民众居家隔离，这才是对医护最大的保护和尊重
哈哈哈哈，
美国老百姓是有点反应慢加大条，huaren上某些自恨大妈天天双方新闻都看的情况下又谴责口罩，又谴责隔离的，满口还仁义道德自由民主，完全就是坏！
拍视频的大概是护士
算是Brooklyn比较好的区。因为纽约房子小，没地方逛，大家就在公园溜达，没有聚集就不错了。JC已经把公园都封了虽然公园也没几个人，纽约还是没有封公园。
Blasio 就真的该把公园封掉
老外就算pandemic 天气稍微好点也要出门嘚瑟一下
确实是Prospect park，我打开声音听了一下。举报了。看看有没有用吧，大家可以都去填一下，很快的。
我个人认为纽约该封公园，其他人少的地方不用封公园，因为人不多公园又是open的空间，但是纽约人太多，公园又少，所有人都挤在那么几个公园里。
别搞笑了
你还准备赖在美国不回祖国大陆吗？
不给治疗就天天出来浪，怎么办
