A US House of Representatives committee has advanced legislation aimed at boosting competitiveness with China without Republicans’ support.
In a 26-20 vote on Thursday, the House Foreign Affairs Committee passed the Ensuring American Global Leadership and Engagement Act, or Eagle Act, with Republicans opposing it over some of its provisions.
Among the provisions included in the bill are ones that address issues such as China s alleged human rights abuses of the Uyghur Muslim minority in its Xinjiang region, closer ties to Taiwan and the need to provide special immigration status to residents of Hong Kong.
