House Republicans on Sept.30 released a report described as a “comprehensive blueprint” to counter a range of threats posed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The China task force, after a months-long probe, made more than 400 recommendations to respond to the regime’s malign actions against the United States and the free world, dubbing the Party a “generational threat.” Among the recommendations are moving critical industries, including medical supply chains, away from China to the United States, modernizing the U.S. military, and imposing new sanctions to punish the regime’s human rights abuses and malign influence activities. The report concluded that decades of engagement with the regime in the hopes that it would liberalize were a failure, leading the United States to turn a “blind eye” to the regime’s rights violations, economic and military aggressions, and broken promises. “For decades, the United States and its allies have been asleep at the wheel,” Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas), chairman of the task force, said at a press conference on Sept.30. The report comes as Congress and the Trump administration are taking an increasingly tougher stance against the regime.
