The incoming chairman of the new House’s tough-on-China committee is putting Big Tech, Disney and NBA executives on notice as the panel prepares a probe into the Chinese Communist Party’s growing influence within the U.S.
Rep. Mike Gallagher, who will oversee the House Select Committee on Strategic Competition between the U.S. and the Chinese Communist Party, said American firms that fail to cooperate with the panel do so “at their own peril.”
“Consider this me giving them the initial warning order that they’ll have to testify before the committee,” Mr. Gallagher, Wisconsin Republican, said Wednesday on “The Hugh Hewitt Show” when asked if he would call Walt Disney CEO Bob Iger and NBA Commissioner Adam Silver before the committee.
