WASHINGTON: The United States Parliament members chose Friday for Greenlight, multi-dollar bills aimed at paralyzing high-tech research and manufacturing, against the growth of China that grew and reduced the shortcomings of global computer chips.
America Democrats’ America competes, their version of innovation and US $ 250 billion in competition, approved in the vote 222-210 in the lower room.
The legislative push came after the US Commerce Department warned that the company had an average semiconductor chip which was less than five days, making them vulnerable to closure.
President Joe Biden wants to invest $ 52 billion in domestic research and production and, after sitting in the bill since passing through the cross-party sound in June, Nancy Pelosi’s home speaker recently included a $ 350 billion package as a top priority.
“We position US interest in values ​​to win on the world stage, hold the responsibility of the People’s Republic of China for using slave workers, which are human rights issues and hurt US workers,” said Pelosi to reporters.
“More Americans made here at home lower costs and strengthen the supply chain for Americans and ensure that America is not the People’s Republic of China, writing road rules for the 21st century.” The package will mark the victory that Biden wants to be caused in the state of the union address on March 1, even though it must be reconciled with the Senate version, which can take several weeks.
The White House saw the initiative as the main legislative tool to combat Chinese skills that grow.
Senior administrative officials, including the Trade Secretary Gina Raimondo, has pushed the house behind the scenes to move it quickly.
However, the version of the house of 2,900 pages has been controversial, because it includes a proposal that is not popular with the Republican Party and does not appear in the Senate text.
Only one of their members, Adam Kinzinger, who was chosen by Democrats.
Republican houses complain that many laws are developed behind closed doors, without public hearings or consultations, and without the committee process.
They said it was weak in China, it was too focused on unrelated problems such as climate change, human rights and social inequality, and filled with the provisions of the democratic sponsored trade they refused.
“This partisan bill does not do anything to hold China’s accountability to practice the Predator’s trading, uphold the president’s historic agreement (Donald) to stop China’s cheating in trade, or against China’s trade aggression throughout the world,” Kevin Brady, the top of the way and the way and Committee facilities, say in a statement.
He accused Biden for “content to sit on the sidelines” while foreign countries prevent US farmers and businessmen from competing in the level of playing levels.
“Democrats have been jammed with 3,000 pages with billions of dollars in new trade assistance assistance and luxury health care subsidies that prevent unemployment from connecting to work,” Brady added.
“They host the poorest countries in the world to demand new green agreements, and complicate American producers to qualify for lower rates on the products needed to compete and win, both here and abroad.” Democrats did not need the support of the Republican reception to pass the bill, but the opposition’s firm rejection complicated his passage to the Biden table.
Destined for “Conference Committee” to marry bills from both rooms, with the Republican Senate, especially influence, because at least 10 of them will be needed to advance from the upper room.
The Republic of Todd Young, a senior senator for Indiana, told reporters on Thursday he and his colleagues would send Republican homes “a much better choice to vote in the next few months.” “If the house has taken a regular order approach, as we did in the Senate, with a fulsome opportunity for bipartisan input, they will have better work products and they will get a lot of the Republic’s voice,” he said.
