The newly formed House committee held its debut hearing on Tuesday, tasked with challenging China’s governing Communist Party.
-
Lawmakers agreed to confront Beijing’s efforts to sow division among Americans, undermine US business interests, and human rights values.
-
Beijing officials say there have been ongoing discussions on how to handle the Republican-held House and a spate of recent hot-button issues that have threatened to derail the frosty US-China relationship.
-
The committee discussed trade theft, military confrontation, fentanyl supply, human rights abuses, and more, laying out a sweeping agenda of existential threats posed by Beijing.
-
Lawmakers said they are hoping to instill urgency in domestic policymakers, US industry, and Chinese companies, warning that the US had underestimated Beijing.
-
The committee is expected to be a focal point in how bipartisan China policy is developed over the next two years.
-
The bipartisan challenge to Beijing comes amid a tense moment in US-China relations, just weeks after the downing of a Chinese spy balloon upended plans for a high-level visit by Secretary of State Antony Blinken to Beijing.
-
While lawmakers found common ground on the threat China poses, their policy prescriptions differed.
-
Gallagher and fellow Republicans described a “strategic decoupling” amid a century-defining “existential struggle” against Chinese threats abroad and within the United States.
-
Democrats favored changes to strengthen domestic policy and investment as well as steps to safeguard democratic structures at home.
-
Beijing officials called the hearing “cold war thinking” tainted by “ideological bias,” and called for US lawmakers to “stop hijacking China-US relations out of political self-interest.”
-
Analysts say China will probably be watching closely to see how the committee’s hawkish start will be translated into executive action or further attempts to contain Beijing.
