[applause] comrades and friends, the chinese nation is a great nation with a history of more than 5000 years. china has made contributions to the progress of human civilization. after the opium war, however, china was gradually reduced to a semi-colonial, semi-federal society and suffered greater than ever before. the country endured and the people were subjected to pain in the chinese civilization was plunged into darkness. since that time, it has been the greatest dream of the chinese people in the chinese nation. to save the nation from peril, the chinese people put up a fight like noble-minded patriots, bringing the country together, and the revolution, one after another to ensure national survival, but all these ended in failure. china was in need of new ideas to save the nation and to rally the revolutionary forces. in 1917, marxism and leninism was brought to china. in 1921, the chinese people and chinese nation were undergoing a great awakening in history. they became closely integrated with the chinese workers movement, and the communist party of china was born. the founding o

as we have learned in contrast to every other states' national guard in the country, the dc nationalperates differently. and i'm convinced if someone had been able to activate the dc national guard and have 1000 or 2000 guardsmen and women deployed at the capitol in a timely way on the 6th of january, this destruction, this death and destruction would not have occurred. senator carper: unlike the 50 states that we have [inaudible 02:14:31], the district of columbia is not empowered to activate the dc national guard during an emergency. that's one of the reasons why i've worked for years with congresswoman eleanor holmes norton to support legislations to admit to washington dc as our 51st state and to provide equal rights to the americans who make this community, over 700,000 people, their home. senator carper: here's the question. chief contee, in your testimony, you highlight that a request for dc national guard assistance at the us capitol on january 6th would have have had to have been made by the us capitol police with the consent of the us department of defense. can you just tak
