A special House committee dedicated to countering China will make its debut on Tuesday, the opening act in what lawmakers hope will be a robust effort to overcome partisan divisions and address a “generational challenge” to America's national security.
The committee's chairman, Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., says he's looking to bridge differences rather than exploit them. One of the former Marine's first efforts in that regard will be a hearing focused on informing Americans about what he says is the threat posed by the Chinese Communist Party.
