S.22.2-63: Chinese Exchange Programs Resolution (PASSED)

[fhtagn]

CHINESE EXCHANGE PROGRAMS RESOLUTION

Whereas, the People's Republic of China (PRC) is a Communist dictatorship with a history of violent conflict against Atlasia; and

Whereas, the PRC has used colleges and universities to spy upon and sow propaganda in Atlasia; and

Whereas, the PRC is attempting to dominate the island nation of Taiwan, hereafter referred to as the Republic of China (ROC), which is an important ally and trade partner of Atlasia;

Now therefore, be it resolved that the Southern Region encourages colleges, universities, and institutes of higher education to relocate Chinese language and cultural exchange programs from the PRC to the ROC to advance Atlasian national security interests, strengthen ties between our two democracies, and promote a positive learning environment to enhance comprehensive Mandarin language education for Atlasian students.

This resolution shall take effect immediately.

Aye

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

The ROC is basically one province and the PRC is some thirty-two, all of which represent a variety of numerous regional cultures.
I like the pro-Taiwan sentiment of this bill, but this seems unnecessary and only advocates for what is tantamount to the current government of the PRC to further cut its people off from the outside world, while reducing, marginally, contact with the vast swathe of what could possibly be defined as China.
Nay.

[fhtagn]

The bill now passes and awaits gubernatorial action.
