Congressman Rogers, Chair of the House Intelligent Committee, presented the decisive pivoting point in the US Congress’ Foreign Affairs policy: a resolute intolerance toward China’s violations of the rule of law. Congressman Rogers condemns China for its continuous escalation of provocative actions in the Southeast Asia Sea and the East Sea. On the same day, the US Senate passed the Senate Resolution 412.
