Someone will need to do a welfare check on Eric Swalwell, because the Trump administration has just banned romantic and sexual relationships between government employees working in China and Chinese citizens.
Insider Paper (@TheInsiderPaper) ! NEW 🚨 US bans romantic and sexual relationships with Chinese citizens for government employees in China — Fox News
More from Fox News:
The U.S. government banned employees and personnel in China from having romantic or sexual relationships with Chinese citizens.
According to the Associated Press, four sources said that former U.S. Ambassador Nicholas Burns put the policy into place before leaving his post.
A watered-down version of the new policy was tested in summer 2024, which banned U.S. government employees in China from having "romantic and sexual relations" with Chinese citizens who were employed as support staff and guards at five consulates in China as well as the U.S. embassy.
This should have been policy and should have been enforced ages ago.
Meanwhile, everyone on X had the same thought:

Extremely Careless (@Shanghaibeast) ~ So, @RepSwalwell is taking this about as well as you would expect ...



Genius Chad PhD (@GeniusChad) ~ Everyone give @RepSwalwell some space ... he’s not taking this well.
Capital Talk (@CapitolTalk) ~ @RepSwalwell are you okay?

Oh ... my ... ugh ... Swalwell probably feels a little better, now!
