New Cold War Gone Mad: House Passes 25 Anti-China Bills in One Week

Earlier this month the House of Representatives, as part of its so-called “China Week,” passed 25 anti-China bills — that is, over two dozen bills intended to counter China. These range from bills that would allocate $1.6 billion to anti-China propaganda overseas, to putting even more restrictions on the imports of Chinese EVs, and there’s even one that would revive the Trump-era China Initiative. This week, Amanda and KJ go through some of these bills, and what their passage signals in the New Cold War on China.

Our understanding of China — and U.S.-China relations — has become a defining feature of all global politics. The China Report is a new show produced in collaboration with Pivot to Peace where every week, journalist Amanda Yee and political analyst KJ Noh will be helping you through all the propaganda with an independent view of the country we are taught to hate, but know so little about.
