China and Mexico are countries I would never visit.

Will Xi send Biden the bill for the bullet?

[lee martell]

China wants Biden begging them for cooperation.
This is a tactic I would have more expected from North Korea’s Krazy-Kim, until here lately. China seems intent on throwing all decorum aside these days. Perhaps the Taiwan question has something to do with it.

[dfwgator]

That’s how you fight a war on drugs.

Election fraud has consequences

[HYPOCRACY]

The FBI is doing the same to American citizens here.

simple solution to this

dont go there

[Round Earther]

If you like due process, don’t go to a country that has no due process.

" The Biden administration should use every tool available to secure Mark’s safe return to Texas."

Well, that's the problem. The Biden Administration is run by tools.

Let's see.... He was arrested by China in November 2012. That is the same month this happened: U.S.-China Relations under Barack Obama and Xi Jinping (Tsinghua U. hosts Pro-Obama Seminar) Tsinghua University ^ | 11/29/2012 | Brookings-Tsinghua Center for Public Policy Posted on 6/24/2013, 4:25:37 AM by TexGrill The reelection of President Barack Obama and the convening of China’s 18th National Congress marks a new era for U.S.-China relations. On November 29, the Brookings-Tsinghua Center for Public Policy hosted Jeffrey Bader for a public forum to discuss these and related issues facing the Obama and Xi administrations. Bader is the John C. Whitehead senior fellow in international diplomacy at the Brookings Institution. He served as senior director for East Asian affairs on the National Security Council during President Obama’s first term, and is the author of Obama and China’s Rise: An Insider’s Account of America’s Asian Strategy. In Bader’s view, U.S.-China relations are in pretty good shape right now.

I believe his best chance would be to tell his representatives to contact Putin about it, he has the capability to persuade Jinping arrange a deal to send him back. The Chinese are in no mood to talk to lying American politicians directly about anything.

Also, it could be that we wouldn’t want a deal to get him back, our nutty leaders would rather use this guy for the pro war propaganda case against China. If so, he is SOL.

Is he a black lesbian basketball player? If not, too bad. Comrade Bidung and his handlers don’t care. What a crock of BS.

[irishjuggler]

Swidan should declare himself to be transgender or some other variety of LGBTQ+ and then maybe the administration would be interested in rescuing him.

[UnwashedPeasant]

We should deport all the Chinese agents, starting with the Bidens.

[BobL]

“Texas Senator Ted Cruz is leading an effort in the U.S. Senate to secure Swidan’s release.”

Don’t bother Ted, thanks to Biden’s bunch, China is now our ENEMY. Hell, they won’t even pick up the phone for Biden, Blinken, or Austin.

Stop Chinese immigration to US.

End visas for all students from China to US. Send them home, mid degree if possible.

Tariffs on Chinese goods.

Outlaw US land and major capital purchases by Chinese.

Start deporting Chinese who don't have green cards.

Then rescind green cards and start deporting them.

Oh yeah. Thanks brilliant statesman Nixon for opening the door to China to invade. It has been really helpful. Transferring all our technology to the Communists was a really smart geopolitical move.

"The Biden administration should use every tool available to secure Mark’s safe return to Texas." - Sen. Ted Cruz

Cruz is delusional.

[Vaduz]

The Biden administration should use every tool available to secure Mark’s safe return to Texas.

He’s a goner Jim

[Texas resident]

But it is OK for Hunter Biden (coke addict) to visit their country.
