A bipartisan duo of lawmakers is calling for greater efforts to curb the malign influence of China’s communist regime through protectionist measures.

Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Mark Warner (D-Va.) appeared together for a joint interview on Jan. 29, where the two sounded the alarm on the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) efforts to undermine U.S. national security, and said that the regime had unfairly manipulated the international economy.
