SENATE BILL: Imports Labor Oversight Committee Bill (Law'd)

[Napoleon]

This is very similar to a policy I campaigned on; I will support it.

I was initially going to vote for this, but Sbane raises a valid point.  How can we just deliberately say we're going to investigate FoxConn plants without opening talks with China about this?

Part of investigating the plants is opening the dialogue with China.

Right. It isn't the Senate's role to open talks with China, or any other nation. That responsibility lies with the executive branch. This law can be executed as written, and I believe it should. There is nothing wrong with an investigation.

[Napoleon]

Okay- just as long as we address China of our concerns first so we're not interrogating anyone without warning.

Aye.

I'm sure the Chinese will recognize my band of orange thugs when they arrive.
