The initiative to create this body was put forward by lawmakers from the opposition Republican Party of the United States, TASS reports.
The leader of the Republican faction in the House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy, said that "the threat from communist China is serious" and the best way to resolve this issue would be to create a special committee on China.
“Do you want to end our dependence on China?
The committee will investigate it.
Want to protect our national security?
The committee will work on this,” the politician said.
Earlier it was reported that the United States and Japan are building up military cooperation against the backdrop of a possible conflict with China.
At the same time, the new Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang stated the importance of further development of relations with the United States.
