GOP senators eye comprehensive China strategy to curb CCP influence
Fox News
Senate Republicans are pushing new measures to curb CCP influence across several fronts.
"The CCP is the single greatest threat to America’s national security and financial independence," Ricketts told Fox News Digital in a statement. "A CCP-led world would mean coercion instead of choice, tyranny instead of liberty, and dictatorship instead of democracy. The only way to combat this threat is with a strong, strategic, all-of-government approach. These bills move us closer to that."

The Nebraska Republican introduced five bills: to protect domestic food supply chains; to disincentivize university endowments from investing in "adversarial entities"; to prevent tax breaks for investing in Chinese, Russian, Iranian, North Korean, or Belarussian companies; to stop U.S. market participation and ownership in businesses that are sanctioned for human rights violations; and to prohibit index funds from purchasing Chinese stocks.
