Bill Renames Chinese Embassy Street “Li Wenliang Plaza”
Washington, D.C. — Senators Ben Sasse (R-Nebraska), Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas), Marco Rubio (R-Florida), Marsha Blackburn (R-Tennessee), and Representative Liz Cheney (R-Wyoming) introduced companion bills to rename the street outside the Chinese embassy in Washington, D.C. “Li Wenliang Plaza.” The bill honors the late Dr. Li Wenliang, the Wuhan-based doctor who warned the world about the coronavirus before the Chinese Communist Party silenced him.
“Dr. Li’s professional ethics made him an enemy of the Chinese Communist Party and a hero to the Chinese people. Chairman Xi can try to claim Dr. Li as the Party’s own martyr, but the Chinese people know that it was Dr. Li’s selfless work and voice that the Party sought to silence. We can honor that work by renaming the street outside the Chinese Embassy after him. The street outside the embassy will draw a glaring contrast between the cruelty and lies of the Chinese Communist Party and the decency and compassion of the Chinese people,” said Sasse.
