A new U.S. congressional select committee on competition with China will hold a first hearing focused largely on human rights on Tuesday night, as bilateral ties remained tense weeks after a suspected spy balloon flying over North America was shot down.

Leading up to the hearing, Gallagher held several events to draw attention to rights concerns, including a rally on Saturday outside what U.S. officials call an illegal Chinese Communist Party "police station" in New York.to the Federal Bureau of Investigation last week seeking information about such alleged police outposts. He said Monday he had not received a response, but expected FBI director Christopher Wray would brief the panel.Tuesday's hearing, set for 7 p.m.

But he also said the committee must protect the rights of Chinese Americans by "standing up against bigotry and discrimination here at home." Although the committee is bipartisan, some Democratic lawmakers have voiced concerns that it could fuel anti-Asian sentiment within the United States. A desire for a hard line in dealings with Beijing is one of the few truly bipartisan sentiments in the deeply divided U.S. Congress, with both Republicans and President Joe Biden's Democrats calling for increased efforts to counteract China's global influence.
