GOP senators eye comprehensive China strategy to curb CCP influence [Video]

FIRST ON FOX: Republican senators introduced a series of measures on Wednesday aimed at taking a comprehensive approach to curbing the Chinese Communist Party’s influence in the west. 

Sens. Pete Ricketts, R-Neb., and Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., led the introduction of several pieces of legislation in the Senate, all focused on targeting different aspects of China’s involvement in America, including at universities and in the U.S. agricultural sector. 

“The CCP is the single greatest threat to America’s national security and financial independence,” Ricketts told Fox News Digital in a statement. “A CCP-led world would mean coercion instead of choice, tyranny instead of liberty, and dictatorship instead of democracy. The only way to combat this threat is with a strong, strategic, all-of-government approach. These bills move us closer to that.”
