In one of its first orders of business, the new Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives passed legislation blocking President Joe Biden's plans to give Communist China oil that is supposed to be reserved for national emergencies.
The Protecting America's Strategic Petroleum Reserve from China Act (H.R. 22) passed by a vote of 331-97.
The bill prohibits the Department of Energy from selling oil in the nation's Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) “to any entity that is under the ownership, control, or influence of the Chinese Communist Party” unless such oil will not be exported to Communist China.
“To cover up his failed policies driving our energy and inflation crisis, President Biden is draining our nation's Strategic Petroleum Reserves at an alarming rate,” said Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., who sponsored the legislation.
“America's SPR – once the world's largest stockpile – have been depleted to the lowest levels since 1983. To date, President Biden has released more from the SPR than all U.S. presidents in history combined,” said McMorris Rodgers.
“Millions of barrels of that oil have gone to China, which now has the world's largest government-controlled stockpile of oil. Draining our strategic reserves for political purposes and selling it to China is a significant threat to our national and energy security,” McMorris Rodgers added.
“This must be stopped, which is why I'm proud to join my Republican colleagues in passing H.R. 22, one of the most bipartisan votes on an energy bill in many years and multiple congresses. There's more to come. This is just the beginning,” McMorris Rodgers concluded.
Biden's move to give American oil to Communist China while simultaneously cutting off Americans' access to oil comes as Congress begins investigating suspicious business deals between Communist Chinese figures and Biden family members, with some of the money allegedly going to Biden himself as under-the-table payments.

Oil isn’t the only thing Biden is selling out to China. How about all the farm land and businesses they are buying up? That must be stopped, and China should have to sell it all back to the u.s., or declare imminent domain and confiscate it.
O’Biden and his DEMONcrat Friends…have already sold out America to not only CHINA, but SOROS AND ENGLAND’S ELITE!
