FIRST ON FOX: House Republicans are preparing to unveil what they call the "strongest" anti-Chinese government bill in U.S. history Thursday.

If passed, it would dramatically curtail trade with China in areas critical to national security, including telecommunications, pharmaceuticals and military technology.

On the cultural front, the bill would establish avenues for the promotion of U.S.-backed ideals and points critical of Beijing’s ruling Chinese Communist Party (CCP) within China’s own borders.

Republican Study Committee (RSC) Chairman Kevin Hern, R-Okla., is leading the proposal, the Countering Communist China Act, which is being promoted by his 175-member group.

"We must treat the CCP like the threat they are and use every tool at our disposal to combat their influence in our schools and our government," Hern told Fox News Digital.
