WASHINGTON—A bipartisan group of lawmakers in Congress are calling for the United States to “reset” its relationship with China by raising tariffs and cutting off capital flows fueling aggression by the communist regime.

In a report incorporating nearly 150 recommendations on Dec. 12, the House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party warned about the regime’s “multidecade campaign of economic aggression” that has made the United States dependent on Beijing—to its peril.
