US House panel on China cites ‘existential struggle’ at 1st hearing FMTNews FMTWorld
Chairman Mike Gallagher opens the hearing of the special House committee dedicated to countering China.
The committee’s leaders saw the hearing, the first of what is expected to be many over the next two years as Republicans hold control of the House, as part of an effort to convince Americans 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.Tuesday’s hearing had four witnesses, including H R McMaster, a retired Army lieutenant general who was former Republican president Donald Trump’s national security adviser, and Matt Pottinger, a long-time China hawk who was deputy national security adviser to Trump.
“Protect, also, Chinese nationals studying and working in the US so they can enjoy the freedoms that so starkly distinguish the American way of life from the increasingly oppressive atmosphere in China today,” Pottinger said.
