A group of Republican senators, led by Marco Rubio, has written to President Joe Biden, urging him to impose a travel ban between the United States and China due to a rapidly spreading respiratory illness in the Asian country. The senators expressed concerns about the lack of transparency and honesty from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) regarding public health crises, citing the COVID-19 pandemic as an example. They emphasized the importance of protecting American citizens and the economy by restricting travel until more is known about the risks posed by this new illness. The senators also defended former President Donald Trump’s decision to implement a travel ban from China in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, countering accusations of xenophobia and discrimination. Meanwhile, China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi stated that the rise in respiratory illnesses among children is a common global issue and that Chinese authorities are effectively managing the situation. The senators’ letter has gained attention and support on social media.
