House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calf.) on March 21 suggested the Democrat-controlled Senate should create its own China-focused committee, not unlike the select China committee that the Republican-controlled House inaugurated this session.

“I would hope that the Senate would create a similar committee,” he said.
