House Democrats Pass Weak Anti-China BillSean Moran 4 Feb 2022
House Democrats passed the America COMPETES Act on Friday, which many conservatives contend would not help the United States better compete with China.
Democrats passed H.R. 4521, the America COMPETES Act, with a vote of 222-210, featuring overwhelming Democrat support and Republican opposition to the bill.
Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D-FL) voted against the bill and Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) voted for the bill:

Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said that the legislation serves as a top priority for the Joe Biden administration, as Democrats remain desperate for a win ahead of Biden’s scheduled March 1 State of the Union address.
Now that the bill has passed through the House, Democrats will have to set up a conference committee to address the differences between the two bills, but they will face significant opposition from Republicans, as the bill contains many climate, immigration, and woke carveouts.
