bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2024-04-06/bloomberg-new-economy-us-china-tensions-are-all-about-the-party
Quick Glance: US-China Conflict: The Role of the Party
- The US House of Representatives established a special panel to counter Beijing's growing global influence. Committee Chair Mike Gallagher emphasized the need to differentiate between the CCP and the Chinese people.
- Tensions could stem from China's rise as a superpower or the political direction of the CCP under Xi Jinping. Experts discuss China's historical phases and Xi's role in the current crisis.
- Past periods under the KMT and Deng Xiaoping serve as points of comparison. Western concern over China was previously not ideologically driven, but has evolved over time due to political and economic developments.
- China's increasing seclusion and the leadership's self-assurance under Xi have led to tensions. The US government aims for a balanced relationship but warns against destabilizing actions. The future of US-China relations remains uncertain.

pbs.org/newshour/politics/house-panel-says-china-subsidizes-fentanyl-production-to-fuel-crisis-in-the-u-s
Quick Glance: China's Subsidization of Fentanyl Production Intensifying Crisis in the U.S.
- A report from a special House committee states that China is fueling the Fentanyl crisis in the U.S. directly by subsidizing the manufacturing of materials used by traffickers outside the country to produce the drug.
- The committee found that the Chinese government provides tax rebates for the production of specific Fentanyl precursors and other synthetic drugs as long as they are sold outside of China.
- The report highlights that China not only subsidizes the manufacturing of precursor chemicals but also thwarts investigations into illegal manufacturers by warning the targets when formal requests for assistance are made by U.S. law enforcement.
- Former Attorney General William Barr recommended that the U.S. should leverage its trade and economic power to push for stronger enforcement from Chinese authorities, and victims should take civil actions against companies and individuals involved in distributing the precursors and synthetic drugs.

Quick Glance: The US is right to target TikTok
- The US House of Representatives in March overwhelmingly passed a bill to force divestiture of TikTok from its Chinese parent.

- The proposed legislation targets TikTok’s foreign ownership, not its content, and does not violate the First Amendment of the US constitution.
