WASHINGTON, Feb 28 — A new US congressional select committee on competition with China will hold a first hearing focused largely on human rights last night, as bilateral ties remained tense weeks after a suspected spy balloon flying over North America was shot down.
He said he sees the hearing, the first of many over the next two years when the Republicans hold power in the House, as part of an effort to convince Americans about why they should care about competing with China, and to “selectively decouple” the US and Chinese economies. Gallagher sent a letter to the Federal Bureau of Investigation last week seeking information about such alleged police outposts. He said yesterday he had not received a response, but expected FBI director Christopher Wray would brief the panel.Additional events with rights activists were set for Monday night and Tuesday afternoon.Today’s hearing, set for 7 p.m. EST , will have four witnesses, including H.R.
A desire for a hard line in dealings with Beijing is one of the few truly bipartisan sentiments in the deeply divided US Congress, with both Republicans and President Joe Biden’s Democrats calling for increased efforts to counteract China’s global influence.
