At a Time of intense conflict between the left and the right in the United States, confronting the Chinese Communist Party has become one of the few points of consensus among all classes and parties in the United States. The Chinese Communist Party has become the “public enemy” in the United States.
NBC recently reported that Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) has been pushing for action against the Chinese Communist Party, with the goal of getting bipartisan legislation in the spring session.
Schumer and Republican Sen. Todd Young (R-Texas) have introduced the Endless Frontier Act. The bill would invest more than $100 billion to promote emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, quantum computing and robotics. These are areas where the Chinese Communist Party has stepped up its competition with the United States.
Schumer said the bill contains three elements: enhancing U.S. competitiveness in manufacturing and innovation; strengthening U.S. partnerships with NATO and India; and new measures to expose, deter and end once and for all the predatory practices of the Chinese Communist Party.
“On the bill (on) China, we have good bipartisan support.” Schumer told reporters Tuesday (March 16).
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Wednesday that “if there’s any issue ripe for bipartisanship, it’s this one.”
Observers from both parties say Washington is being pushed to find consensus on the Chinese Communist Party.
The Communist Party’s crackdown on Hong Kong‘s democracy movement, its mistreatment of minority Uighurs, its expanding surveillance state and its confrontation with U.S. companies have alarmed both U.S. parties.
The Communist Party’s cover-up of the Communist pneumonia Epidemic led to the virus ravaging the United States and stirring up Anti-Communist sentiment among the American public. And the disruption of the global supply chain by the epidemic alerted the U.S. to the problem of over-reliance on Chinese manufacturing.
Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio has also introduced several Communist Party-related bills, some of them co-sponsored with Democrats, that include blocking slave labor products, incentivizing the mining of rare earth minerals and preventing certain Chinese companies from investing in the United States.
“The likelihood of a deal is high,” said Zack Cooper, a fellow at the conservative think tank American Enterprise Institute (AEI) and an expert on U.S.-China relations, adding that “China Policy is the last bastion of bipartisan policy in terms of national security” .
“Addressing the Chinese Communist threat to our country is certainly an area where we should be able to reach agreement,” Rubio said in a statement, adding that “a truly bipartisan bill would push back against the misdeeds of the Chinese Communist Party and prevent it from taking advantage of America’s openness.”
