WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. lawmakers expect sweeping legislation to boost the country’s ability to push back against China will advance through a Senate panel on Wednesday, after weeks of negotiations between Democrats and Republicans.
Senate Foreign Relations Committee members were set to debate the “Strategic Competition Act of 2021,” and consider amendments, before voting on whether to send it for a vote in the 100-member Senate.
“We’re really pleased that there is such a high degree of bipartisan consensus on this piece of legislation and on how to approach China and the Indo-Pacific region more broadly,” a Democratic congressional aide told reporters on a conference call on Tuesday.
