Republican leader in the US House of Representatives, Kevin McCarthy, in an interview with Fox News said that after his appointment as speaker of the House, he intends to create a committee to counter Beijing.

According to McCarthy, when he becomes speaker, he will create a “choice committee” on China, since Beijing ranks first in the list of countries when it comes to intellectual property theft.

“We will put an end to this and no longer allow the administration to sit on the sidelines and let China do what they are doing to America,” he stressed.

Formerly Deputy Secretary of Defense US Political Affairs Officer Colin Cole said Washington is warning other countries against stepping up military cooperation with China. Kol made the same assessment of Russia.
