House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said he intends to make policy that will give President Biden a “backbone” and “empower” him to tackle the emerging China threat.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said he intends to use the 118th Congress to set federal policy that gives President Biden a"backbone" and empowers him to tackle the, and approve these measures on a bipartisan basis so Beijing understands"we mean business."
"We need to speak directly to China, and, regardless of how long he thinks he has known Xi — Xi is a different person than he was before, and China is in a different place than it was before, and they think they are stronger than they were before," McCarthy warned."We need to be united to do that." "One of the first things he should do with Xi is stop the fentanyl coming to America," McCarthy said."He just has to call and say, this is personal, if you don’t stop the chemicals from coming, we’re going to do something about this."When asked if he believes the White House and Congress can find a consensus on the approach to China, McCarthy said,"He is the President of the United States. I am the speaker of the House.
McCarthy created the bipartisan House Select Committee on China for the 118th Congress to focus on areas like intelligence, agriculture, the economy and other areas that McCarthy said China has tried to"take dominance." However, McCarthy is hopeful and noted the House resolution that passed unanimously last month to condemn China for its"brazen violation of United States sovereignty" by sending a surveillance balloon over the continental United States.
House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries speaks to the media during a press conference at the U.S. Capitol on March 1, 2023. Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., left, a former Marine, is the chairman of the House China Select Committee. The fact-checking industry helped mislead Americans by confidently dismissing the COVID lab leak theory in 2020 but have since been forced to issue embarrassing corrections."We put together a select committee on COVID, so, when we start to ask them questions, they better get the answers out there," McCarthy said.
