Rubio, R-Fla., championed U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn's, R-Tenn., “Sister City Transparency Act" introduced on Monday to have the federal government asses the espionage risks of the partnerships and pursue more transparency.

Rubio’s original letter requested information regarding McKinsey & Company’s relationship with the Chinese Government and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), including state-owned and state-run companies in China, and what impact those relationships have on McKinsey’s relationship with the United States Government.

Back in June, Rubio introduced the “Hong Kong Safe Harbor Act” with the support of U.S. Sens. Ben Cardin, D-Mary., Bob Menendez, D-NJ, Jeff Merkley, D-Oreg., and Todd Young, R-Ind. The bill “would provide those Hong Kongers who peacefully protested Beijing’s corrupt justice system, and have a well-founded fear of persecution, to be eligible for Priority 2 Refugee status” and is in “response to the People’s Republic of China (PRC) actions to implement its Law of the People’s Republic of China on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.”

Back in March, Scott called on Congress to investigate the WHO, insisting it helped the Chinese regime “cover up information regarding the threat of the coronavirus.”

U.S. Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., is also backing the proposal which was sent to the U.S. Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on Thursday.

On Monday, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. took to the Senate floor to outline the threat posed by the Chinese government and Communist Party. He also talked about the future of the U.S.-China relationship.

If implemented, a decision by Michael Kennedy, the chairman of the Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board (FRTIB) will effectively use retirement savings of federal government employees, including members of the U.S. Armed Forces, to fund the Chinese government and Communist Party’s efforts to undermine U.S. economic and national security.
