Partners Alyssa DaCunha and Joel Green, co-chairs of WilmerHale’s Congressional Investigations Practice, and Partner Edward O’Callaghan recently published an article about congressional oversight and the connection between China and the supply chain for Law360. In the article, the attorneys analyze how the Republican-led US House of Representatives will address China-related trade issues.
Excerpt: As Republicans assume control of the U.S. House of Representatives, China-related issues are poised to be a key caucus priority and likely a rare area of bipartisan cooperation in a narrowly divided and highly polarized Congress.
House GOP leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., has identified countering China as the single most pressing issue for Congress.[1] Other Republicans have promised a wide-ranging effort to oppose Chinese influence across military, economic, and social spheres.[2]
Republicans recently announced one key mechanism to facilitate greater China-related oversight in the next Congress: the House Select Committee on Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party, chaired by Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-Wis.[3]
