New Senate Bill Aims to Counter China's Growing Global Influence

  • Chuck Schumer announced new legislation focused on limiting technology and investment flow to China and boosting domestic economic investments and support for allies.
  • The bill, called China Competition Bill 2.0, follows similar legislation passed last year and has bipartisan support.
  • Legislation proposes investments in tech development, support for global infrastructure initiative alternatives to Belt and Road, and deterring China aggression towards Taiwan.
  • Schumer hopes to pass the bill in the coming months with Republican support as with last year's bill.
  • Previous bipartisan bill led to investments in science and semiconductors as well as export restrictions on tech to China.
