Check this little nugget out:
Two new working groups in Congress focus on China
Two new congressional groups have been formed to focus on the growing power of China.
The House has formed the Congressional China Caucus, headed by Virginia Republican J. Randy Forbes.
The caucus will "take a critical look" at Chinese military issues, economy and trade, intellectual property, energy and resources and human rights and religious freedom issues.
The caucus has 28 members including conservative House Armed Services Committee Chairman Rep. Duncan Hunter, Republican from California.
On the other side of the China debate is the U.S.-China Working Group, which has the support of the Chinese government.
The working group was formed last week in the House. It opened with a speech by Chinese ambassador to the United States Zhou Wenzhong. "What is more important is to handle the differences through consultations and dialogue," he said.
Rep. Mark Kirk, Illinois Republican, and Rick Larsen, Washington Democrat lead the working group. It includes more than 20 members who seek to promote diplomatic and economic ties between the United States and China and to increase congressional engagement.
This was all news to me, turns out there has been a lot posted on it already, interesting googles, I am not up to looking at the groups.
Note, I have only the questions, not the answers....
