Shu Mo said that the China Competitive Act 2.0 was an extension of chips and scientific law passed last year.He hopes that the bill can be supported by cross -party faction, saying that the Senate Republicans support some suggestions in the bill.
As the Republican Party controls the House of Representatives, the bill requires the support of the Republican to become a law.

Schu Mo said when introducing the efforts of new legislation, saying that parliamentarians will study export control and sanctions to restrict the innovative achievements of Beijing's acquisition and "even stealing" the United States in artificial intelligence, quantum computing and other advanced technologies.He said that the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Commerce will receive new authorizations to review and prevent capital from flowing to China.
Members will also focus on helping American small companies, cultivating the "future" of the United States, and procedures for strengthening the impact of foreign investment on national security.
In response to China's "Belt and Road" plan, Shu Mo said that the United States and allies have prepared to cooperate to provide the sources of infrastructure financing for alternatives, so that "those countries that seeks help can really benefit."
As for the Taiwan issue, Shu Mo did not provide specific details. It only said that the plan will be based on the two -party proposal of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.The committee approved the four -year defense of Taiwan ’s defense of 4.5 billion US dollars last year and confirmed that Biden had the right to sanction in mainland Chinese officials and financial institutions in Taiwan.

There is no reason for the two parties of the parliament to come together and send strong information to the Chinese government, that is, we unite to deal with this urgent.National security issues, we are also committed to maintaining the leading position of the United States in the future. "
However, the Republican Person No. 2 in the Senate believes that in view of the Republican Party's expenditure and debt, and the concerns of the size of the chip method passed last year, the new Chinese initiative will be difficult to pass in Congress.
He said: "This will be full of challenges, partly because of expenditure and debt -worrying about excessive expenditure and its impact on inflation, as well as the way of deficit surge and swelling."
