A senior policy analyst with America First Policy Institute said the Commitment to America discussed by U.S. Reps. Kevin McCarthy and Michael McCaul proposes bold solutions that can counter Chinese Communist Party policies.
Adam Savit serves as a senior policy analyst for the China Policy Initiative at AFPI, according to the website.
“Reps. McCarthy and McCaul have been exemplary in using the House China Task Force to highlight vulnerabilities in national security, supply chains, technology, economic and military competitiveness and energy,” Savit said in a statement to State Newswire Sept. 8. “The Commitment to America is an opportunity to propose bold solutions to these problems that all Americans can get behind. The most effective way to counter the CCP is to ensure a prosperous, strong and free United States. Our strength will make CCP policies irrelevant to our future while avoiding war.”
Rep. Jim Banks joined McCarthy for a news conference in the Houston area on holding the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) accountable under a new Republican majority in the House. The event took place at the New Harris County Republican Party Headquarters in Houston, the Houston Daily reported.
The U.S. closed the Chinese consulate in Houston in July 2020 due to its reported role in illegal spying and influence operations against U.S. government officials and American citizens, Houston Daily reported.
House Minority Leader McCarthy will introduce the House Republican party's Commitment to America plan that includes a provision to relocate supply chains from China to the United States Sept. 19 in Pittsburgh, The Hill reported.
Another bill under consideration is the Republican Study Committee’s Countering Communist China Act, which was introduced by Banks, according to his website. The act would ban the United Front Work Department, prohibit American companies that get federal subsidies to go and expand their business in China affiliate with businesses with ties to the Chinese military, put other regulations in place and spend $1 billion compared to the $250 billion plan in the Senate.
