Published | Video Starts at 00:21

Vicki and I have worked together for many years in the House and she's been a steadfast advocate for religious liberty. My committee and I appreciate the Commission's work on religious liberty and your focus on China. Today, China is the world leader in religious persecution. The fundamental idea of religious freedom that our nation was founded on has spread to many countries around the world, but it does not exist in China. (00:21–00:25)
