How would a Republican-controlled House affect relations with China? Commentary by TomRTweets:
Expect House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy , should he become Speaker, to establish a dedicated China committee in the House of Representatives.This would come alongside a big push for further restrictions on Chinese tech exports. Although the Biden administration has advanced Trump administration actions in this regard, far more can be done.
Under a Republican House, we should also expect significant new appropriations to boost the speed, scale, and diversity of arms sales to Taiwan and U.S. allies such as Australia and Japan. This will be a far easier sell for Republican leaders than new funds for Ukraine . On the flip side, efforts by the Philippines and Vietnam to bolster relations with Beijing may see Republican countermeasures in terms of trade restrictions.
Another priority would come in the form of increased oversight of links between the U.S. academic and scientific communities and Chinese entities. This effort won't begin and end with grillings of Anthony Fauci over federal grants to Chinese research agencies, for example. The Biden administration has infuriated Republicans and the intelligence community with its ending of the Trump administration's"China Initiative.
