Recent discussions in Congress highlight growing concerns over U.S. financial ties to China amid escalating tensions. The bipartisan China Financial Threat Mitigation Act has been introduced in the Senate, aiming to enhance protections for American financial assets and curb adversarial influences. Lawmakers emphasize the need for safeguards to prevent China from leveraging U.S. capital against national interests. A report indicates that the Chinese military now poses a significant threat, with capabilities to win in a conflict with the U.S. Analysts argue that tightening export controls on Chinese technology and restricting outbound U.S. investments are crucial for national security, as the potential for conflict with China increases under Xi Jinping's leadership.
A new report argues that further tightening of export controls on Chinese technology and increased restrictions on outbound U.S. investment into China are vital to winning a conflict that it says Xi Jinping will inevitably escalate. https://t.co/Gl6Eoms5HJ
