The U.S. Senate Foreign Affairs Committee is currently advancing a bipartisan proposal to ensure that the United States is able to confront the challenges and threats of the Chinese Communist Party, both domestically and internationally. This bill is seen as a recent bipartisan statement of Congressional assertiveness toward the Chinese Communist Party.
The bipartisan Strategic Competition Act of 2021, promoted by the U.S. Senate Foreign Affairs Committee, aims to mobilize all U.S. strategic as well as economic and diplomatic means to achieve the Indo-Pacific Strategy and deter the Chinese Communist Party from posing a challenge to U.S. and economic security.
The bill includes, among other things, military investments needed to achieve U.S. political goals in the Indo-Pacific region, with a proposed five-year funding of $655 million for the region; promoting humanitarian and democratic values, supporting democracy in Hong Kong and sanctioning human rights violations in Xinjiang; and confronting international economic plundering by the Chinese Communist Party, including theft of intellectual property rights and government subsidies.
According to commentator Blue, the bill involves a comprehensive strategy to contain the Chinese Communist Party, including restrictions on Beijing’s use of the Belt and Road Initiative to install Chinese military facilities in countries.
He basically reflects the entire U.S. strategy of restricting the Chinese Communist Party, including emphasizing the threat posed to the U.S. and the Western world by the Chinese Communist Party’s investments in these Belt and Road countries,” said commentator Lan Shu. This is already rightly presented from a strategic standpoint that the CCP is building a globalized CCP system centered on its baton globally.”
The draft legislation calls for a stronger partnership with Taiwan and no restrictions on interaction between U.S. and Taiwanese officials.
Current affairs commentator Lan Shu: “Taiwan is important because he is an outpost for the West to contain the expansion of the CCP. This strategic plan of the Senate encourages U.S. elected officials at all levels to make further contacts with Taiwan, so as to make some strategic preparations and some public opinion preparations for the next step to take stronger actions to defend Taiwan’s security, which is also very necessary.”
Chinese Communist Party Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian claimed Friday that he opposes the bill proposed by the relevant U.S. lawmakers.
The bill will be considered by the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee on April 14 and is expected to be passed and approved by the full Senate.
Netizen “Leonardo” tweeted to find the key points of the bill: “Important points about the Strategic Competition Act of 2021: Section 214 of the Strategic Competition Act of 2021, ‘New Coronary Pandemic Reporting,’ requires ‘ Requires: 1. the Director of National Intelligence, in cooperation with other U.S. government departments, to collect, compile, and submit to Congress a report on the source of the New Coronavirus within 180 days of the passage of the bill ……”
