United States House Select Committee on China

The United States House Select Committee on China is a congressional body focused on examining and addressing the complex challenges posed by the People's Republic of China. Recently, the committee has been newsworthy due to its involvement in heated public exchanges, such as when ranking member Ro Khanna defended calling a witness "racist" during a hearing on economic espionage. The committee also recently released a report on artificial intelligence, titled "Buy What It Can, Steal What It Must: China’s Campaign to Acquire Frontier AI Capabilities." This report highlights a growing sentiment in Washington that China's advancements in AI are intertwined with both market access and national security concerns. The committee's work is significant as it shapes US policy and public discourse regarding China's economic practices, technological ambitions, and geopolitical influence.
