Top U.S. House Republican McCarthy Plans Special Committee on China

Source: Reuters

WASHINGTON, Nov 20 (Reuters) - Kevin McCarthy, the Republican leader in the U.S. House of Representatives, said on Sunday he would form a select committee on China if he is elected speaker of the chamber, accusing the Biden administration of not standing up to Beijing.

"China is the No. 1 country when it comes to intellectual property theft," he told Fox News in an interview.

"We will put a stop to this and no longer allow the administration to sit back and let China do what they are doing to America."

McCarthy also said he would keep his promise to oust a number of Democrats from key House committees, including Representative Adam Schiff, the chairman of the intelligence committee.

Trump is always carrying on about China so we know who McCarthy is taking orders from.

The next two years may be the greatest period in our history for democrats in the house of representatives.

As President Obama might say, “PLEASE PROCEED KEVIN.”

Nothing! Gee, as if the issue only cropped up under Joe Biden's administration. Tilting at windmills I guess as this theft has been goin on for decades now. But oh no, Kevin believes only under a Democratic rule has this ever occurred. Dumb shit for sure. This will segue and quickly into another Hunter Biden investigation, mark my words!
